Storage location MRP clarification

this option gives you the ability to plan a storage location separately or exclude it completely from MRP. I am confused why the sloc mrp indicator is given at material master level in MRP4 view? it should be at storage location level right?
also could some one explain in what scenarios do people use this seperate storage loc mrp and exclude storage loc mrp with an example?

Dear,
This setting is applicable for storage location only, if you given storage location while entering in material master, then only this screen in MRP4 will appear otherwise won't.
While running MRP system need to consider this setting, thats the reason the storage location data is considered in MRP 4 view
also could some one explain in what scenarios do people use this seperate storage loc mrp and exclude storage loc mrp with an example?
if you want reorder point planning for that storage location sepeartely, then you can use separate storage location MRP
& also, you can exclude the storage location during MRP, for this particular material., if you set in config, it will applicable for all material

MD04 - Subreq - Storage location MRP area

Hi all,
I have an issue of Subreq in MD04 which is not assigned to the the good MRP area.
I'm explaining :
Business process
   -> I work with a subcontractor
        case 1 : either I buy raw material to be processed and delivered it directly to my subcontractor
        case 2 : either I send raw material from my physical stock to my subcontractor
   -> I create subcontracting purchase order with indication as components, the raw material.
   -> In case of the components are already in my subcontractor (case 1), the reservation (Subreq) should not consume my physical stock.
   -> In case of the components are in my physical stock (case 2), the reservation (Subreq) should consume the physical stock.
Solution choosen
Then I decided to create a storage location MRP area : "EXTERN" as External.
I assigned a storage location "EXT" to this MRP area.
I assigned this MRP area to the material in MRP1 / MRP Area.
In the purchase order, in the components popup,
For case 1 : I assigned "EXT" as Prod.Stor.Loc and Supply area
For case 2 : nothing special is filled
Issue
For the case 1, althought I assigned the storage location "EXT", the Subcontractor Requirement is not attached to the good MRP area.
WHY?
Remark : I didn't use the subcontracting MRP area because I would like to have 2 cases : case 1 & case 2.
Thank you in advance for your help about this problem which make me nervous !

Hello Catherine
Your system is working as designed. The following note explains the system design in more detail:
503497 - Subcontracting and MRP areas
Take a look on the relevant information provided by this note below:
Reason and Prerequisites
The most important point to understand the system behavior is the fact that the withdrawal of the (subcontracting) component is generally carried out during the goods receipt for an SC procurement proposalfrom the subcontractor stock that is managed at plant level from an inventory management point of view and that has no reference to a storage location at all.
This causes that subcontractor requirements can never enter a storage location MRP area, since you can later not post the withdrawal from this MRP area.
Thus SC-requirements always enter the SC segment of the plant MRP area or the SC-MRP area.
The SC MRP area in turn is supplied by stock transfer reservations from the plant MRP area or via third-party order processing through procurement proposals with goods receipt directly to the subcontractor. A supply through the materials planning from a storage location MRP area is not possible.
For the above reason, SC-requirements do also not carry any storage location, since the storage location does not have any control function at all for SC-requirements:
You cannot and you should not determine a storage location MRP area (see above), and the subcontractor MRP area is determined via the vendor of the procurement proposal, thus it is independent of the storage location.
See also Note 376050 on this topic that makes a modification available which prevents the deletion of the storage location in the subcontractor requirements, so that you can use, for example, customer-specific reports to analyze the storage location.
Please observe that the mentioned modification note 376050 only makes the storage location available on table RESB, so that you can use it on custom report. This modification will not make the storage location to be considered by MRP or on MD04.

Storage Location - MRP

Hi Experts,
1. I have excluded a storage location ( say SLoc001) in the SPRO config : "Storage Location - MRP -> Storage location stock excluded from MRP"
2. In the Scheduling agreement (ME31L) i am giving the excluded storage location (SLoc001) as the 'Storage Location"
3. Now, when I am running MRP for a material (say Mat001) for the plant (say Pnt001), it is generating the Schedule lines with delivery schedules for the excluded plant (SLoc001), which should not happen ideally. Ideally I have to receive the message "SLoc001 StLoc : not plnd" in the MRP Planning Result. But this is not happening in my case.
Please advise if i have missed any thing.This is very urgent.
Thanks,
Manju

Hi Manju
Your material code was already extended to the SLoc.
You have excluded Sloc from MRP now.
In this case to MRP4 view and change the Storage location MRP indicator to '1'
This activity have to do for all materials now.
Going forward your customisation will take care of this thing for newly created or extended material codes.

APO Consolidation location for Storage Location MRP Area

We are using Storage Location MRP Area .
Our Scenario is like ->
1 Plant -> n MRP AREA -> n Storage Locations
We are using consolidation location determination rule .
But actually we observed SO requirement is appearing at plant level in APO instead of MRP level although stock confirmation is done is MRP Storage location level only .
Things are working fine if we dont use consolidation location rule . We also observed that confirmation sub-item in SO doesnt show confirmed Sub-location for consolidation location . Transportation lanes are also maintained but requirement should pass to MRP location which is actually not happening .
Please help , thanks .

HI Srinivas ,
ya GATP check is configured at sublocation level only .
While in case of consolidation location only comfirmed orders are appearing at Plant level .
Also Stock transport requisitions are not getting transfered which is also a pain .

STO between plant and storage location MRP area

Dear PP/DS experts,
For some business requirements, I want to model stock trnasfer order scenario from plant to storage lacation MRP area but the system only make stock trasnfer reservation.
In my EPR system, I maintainted storage location MRP area material with special procurement 45, then the transportaion lane is created between location 1200(location type 1001) to MRP area 1300(location type 1007).
My question :
1) Is it possible to make stock transfer order scenario instead of stock transfer reservation between plant and MRP area ?
2) If possible, Is there something to do more in master data maintenance except mentioned above in ERP ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Lee, Seung Won

Hi,
Yes you can perform intracompany STO (Plant to plant) and STO at Storage location level at the same time,
We are using same for our client.

Storage Location MRP - transfer reservations

We have this set up and are creating 311 reservations to transfer SLOC to SLOC. Is there any way to set this up to use a 2 part process (like 313, 315)? We need one location to "issue" when they post and the other location to be able to "receive" post. It's a problem that posting the 311 moves the goods immediately to Unrestricted. We'd also be open to any process that would automatically move the goods to blocked stock when the 311 was posted with MB1B. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You cant create 2 reservation in the system for stock transfer b/w slocations.
Automatic reservations are only created using Mvt type 311,not 313 and 315.
For your second query,you cant post the stock to blocked because 311 is one step procedure and from URS tyo URS.For that to happen use 343/344 mvt types for your business scenario.

Deepak.

Storage location consideration during MRP Run

Hi All,
Within a company code, i am having 2 plants namely PS12 & PS13. In plant PS12, i am three storage locations namely 1201, 1202,1203. Similarly in plant PS13, i am having stores 1301,1302,1303.
During MRP run, i do not want to consider the stock in all the storage locations of PS12. The storage location 1203 to be exclued during MRP run. How to set this?
Your input will be appreciated very much,
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Goto SPRO>Production>Planning>Define Storage Location MRP per plant, add the storage location to be ignored during MRP and select indicator '1' against it. Thereafter, all the materials created with this storage location will be defaulted with value '1' in the field 'SLoc MRP indicator'. However this can be modified later if required.
For existing materials, select indicator '1' in the field 'SLoc MRP indicator' avaialble in MRP view under the column 'Storage location MRP'. Go for a mass update for a huge list of materials.
Check this and revert for any clarifications.

Murali

Change MRP type at storage location level

Morning,
i am having trouble with PD and ND reporting. Your you are aware ND should only have balances of 0 and PD should only have balances of >0. When i run a reportto show all PD stock and exclude the positive balances, i am getting MM numbers appearing that are 0 in 1 sLoc but have a positive stock balance in another sLoc. This becomes a problem when i change the PD to ND because it changes at plant level. i only want this to be changed at the sLoc with the 0 stock balance.
I have tried MM06 to flag the MM for deletion at sLoc level however, when running the report again, the sLoc with 0 stock balance still shows.
Also, i have about 800+ that need changing so a solution to do this in a batch would also be appreciated.
Please help.
Paul

Hi,
Go to IMG settings 'Materials Management + Consumption-Based Planning + Planning + Define Storage Location MRP per Plant' Enter your Plant, It will show list of storage location in that Plant, then select 2 in 'MRP Indicator' field for storage location for which u want to plan seperately.
Hope It will clear Your Problem

MRP at storage location level with external requirements

HI,
We have to have reorder point planning at storage location level. Also we need to consider external requirements.
When I am setting storage location MRP indicator as 2 and putting Reorder point and replenishment quantity, then after running MRP it only considers the replenishment quantity but it doesnot consideer any external requirements.
Help me out how to configure the requirement?
Regards
Sukant

Hi,
I think your question is answered by Sarita Doddi.
If you have several storage location for your plant, you cannot plan for them separately unless you assign them to a separate MRP area.
If a storage location (alone) is assigned to an MRP area, it means you wan to plan for it separately. If several storage locations are assigned to an MRP area (or let's say to a plant), it means you want to plan using all of them - and you cannot choose only one and plan for it (you can exclude a SLoc from planning w/o assigning it to MRP area).
So, planning is not SLoc wise, it goes MRP area wise.

Excluding storage location from MRP run in Long Term Planning

Hi,friends,
In my scenario , i want to exclude storage location from MRP run in long term planning.When i set storage location MRP indicator "2" in SPRO and SLoc MRP indicator "1" MRP4 in material master, i can exclude the storage location after run MRP with MD01/MD02,and i can see the expected result in MD04.But in Long Term Planning scenario the storage location can not be excluded after run MRP with MS01/MS02,and the requirements list in MS04 include the stock in the storage location i want to exclude. i dont know if i miss something.Plz give me some advice.
Regards
Joey

Hi,
Refer the OSS Note 208017 - LTP: Long-term planning and storage locations
==========================================================================
Symptom
In long-term planning (Transactions MSBT / MS01 / MS02 / MS03), the MRP indicator of a storage location for a material is not taken into account (material master, view MRP 2 [up to and including Release 3.1I] or MRP 4 [as of Release 4.0A]).
The storage locations excluded by MRP or planned separately are also planned in the plant segment.
Additional key words
LTP, MM01, MM02, MM03, master data, MRP indicator, LGORT ...
Cause and prerequisites
The MRP indicator for a certain storage location of a material is only taken into account in operative planning (requirements planning, MRP).
The long-term planning occurs exclusively at plant level.
Solution
This is no error. The system works as intended.
The individual storage locations should not be distinguished in the long-term planning, in order to perform a comprehensive long-term planning.
This is important, for example, within the kanban processing where the storage locations with kanban MRP are excluded from the MRP, but in spite of that should be included in the long-term planning.
==========================================================================

Siva

How can I include the minimum stock of storage location in the mrp run.

Hi all,
I have in plant 1030 storage location 1001 and 1006.
MRP1 Lot Size = EX
           MRP type = PD
           Reorder Point = 5
MRP2 Safety Stock = 5
MRP4 for 1001 is not filled
MRP4 for 1006 Sloc MRP Ind = 2
                         Reorder point = 2
                         Replenishment qty = 3
If no stock and I run the mrp I get
a PurRqs for 8 with a automatic MtlRes of 3 going to storage loc 1006
If I create a reservation in 1006 for 10 units and run the MRP again
a PurRqs for 15 with a MtlRes of 10 going to storage loc 1006.
I want the result to be PurRqs for 18 with a MtlRes of 13 going to storage loc 1006.
10 for the reservation and 3 to fill storage loc 1006 with the replenishment qty.
How can I acheive this?
Best Regards!

Hello Curtins
Please observe what is stated on question 6 of FAQ note 550954, regarding storage locations planned separately:
6. Question:
    A storage location should be planned separately. Is it possible to
    consider external requirements?
    Answer:
    No. The storage location MRP is a very simple reorder point planning
    procedure, during which only reorder point and replenishment
    quantity are defined. More complex settings can be implemented via
    storage location MRP areas.
Therefore, I'd suggest you to use MRP areas to map this scenario.

Help required -for MRP Run at storage location level

Hi ,
we need to have separate MRP fro two storage locations with direct procurement from Storage locations. Right now we have MRP run at Plant level for all the storage locations. we donot want the materials in these two storage locations to be planned at Plant level only with Separate storage locations. Plant level MRP will run for the other storage locations .
I have created separate MRP areas for the storage locations & activated MRP for MRP Areas client level. material masters for the two storage locations have been asigned the MRP areas & maintained the MRP area data in material master .
When we run the MD01, the Planned orders are getting created at both MRP areas plus at the Plant level.we donot want the planned orders creation at Plant MRP area level-only at the storage location level for those two storage locations MRP areas.
Can anybody guide me -how to achieve that ? Did we miss any configuration?
I tried to maintain scope of planning & getting error for parallel processing .
Do i need to maintain parallel procesing with servers ?
Pls need your input on this. Any help will be highly appreciated .
   Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Krish.

Hi,
     Go to IMG settings 'Materials Management + Consumption-Based Planning + Planning + Define Storage Location MRP per Plant' Enter your Plant, It will show list of storage location in that Plant, then select 2 in 'MRP Indicator' field for storage location for which u want to plan seperately.

Hi Krish,
Go to following IMG path and check out your settings -
IMG>>>Production>>>MRP>>>Master Data>>>>MRP Areas>>>
(1) Activate MRP for MRP Areas -
Is that activated?
(2)Define MRP areas>>>> Do setting s as per Storage Location
Then run MRP.
MRP Areas
In this IMG activity you define whether MRP is to be carried out with MRP areas. In addition, you define the MRP areas for each plant in which you would like to carry out this type of materials requirements planning.
The MRP area represents an organizational unit which carries out materials requirements planning independently. The results of the planning run are displayed specifically for each MRP area. An MRP area can include one or several storage locations of a plant or stock with a subcontractor.
You can assign a material to various MRP areas.
Basically, there are three types of MRP areas:
Plant MRP Area
Initially, the plant MRP area includes the plant with all its storage locations and stock with subcontractors. When you have defined MRP areas for storage locations and for subcontractors and you have assigned the materials, the plant MRP area is reduced by exactly this number of subcontractors and storage locations, as they are now to be planned separately.
MRP Areas for Storage Locations
You can define an MRP area that consists of a particular storage location by creating an MRP area and assigning the storage location to it. Material requirements for this storage location are then planned separately from the rest of the plant. You can also group several storage locations into one MRP area by creating an MRP area and assigning the storage locations. These storage locations are then planned together.
MRP Areas for Subcontractors
You can also define an MRP area for each subcontractor. Using an MRP area, it is possible to plan the components to be provided in subcontracting, by defining an MRP area for each subcontractor and assigning the components to be provided. You can therefore plan the requirements to be provided for these components for one subcontractor separately from the usual requirements.
Up to now, MRP at plant level had been carried out. The various requirements were combined in the planning run and procurement elements were created for these pegged requirements with unknown sources.
The introduction of MRP areas enables you to carry out material requirements planning and know the source of the pegged requirements and to be able to distinguish between them. The source of the pegged requirements can be, for example, production on a particular assembly line or a subcontract order.
Material requirements planning for each MRP area allows you to have specific control over the staging and procurement of important in-house production parts and purchased parts for each shop floor and assembly area.
Hope this will give you more idea about the same.

MRP storage location

to check for all materials in a given plant if 'Storage location MRP' details is maintained or not in MRP-4 view of material master.

Hi Rajesh
Whatever soln. i suggested is still valid for ur prob. now to extend it little bit follow below said.
If u follow above said steps from previous post..u will get MRP indi. Tab...double click in open space against that tab....U will get list of selection options...select not equal to 1..and execute report ..
It will give u List of Items for which Storage Location MRP is not maintained
Hope this will silve ur prob
