Storage location planning

Hi,
My client needs to plan article per storage locations, so for the same article we'll create planned independent requirements that have to belong to a specific storage location (we'll do this using different planning versions).
Then MRP will be executed and PRs should be generated with its specific storage location.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
1.If you want to consider one str location, use str loc mrp per plant.
For str loc mrp Goto SPRO> PRODUCTION>MRP>PLANNING>DEFINE STR LOC MRP PER PLANT (or) In mrp 4 view select Exclude str location from mrp run
In mrp 4 view define reorder level.When the stock level reduce below to reorder point system will create planning file entry.When mrp run for total plant MD01 system will create P.R for this material.
2.If you want to consider more than one str loc, use mrp area.
spro>mrp>master data> marp area>define mrp area.
select mrp type - str location. Create new mrp area with giving input of str location.
Define scope of planning by tcode OM0E, inthis input your mrp area.
Before run the mrp don't forget to make tick mark in Activate mrp for mrp areas.
For mrp run use MD01 tcode, input scope of planning.
Result check in MD04 screen.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Dharma

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.

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

Exclude stock at a storage location from the Productionn Planning run

Hi,
We have to exclude a storage location from the Production Planning run. We already implemented a user exit in CIF and changed the stock at the storage location to a category Z1 that is not relavant to SAP, but the stock at the location is still being consitered for production planning.
Please suggest a way so that it is excluded from the Production planning
Regards,
Sireesh

Hi Sireesh,
Please try these following options.
1) Filter this storage location in the programme /SAPAPO/RMSDPDEP by writing customised code with an abapper, so that it will drops the storage location stocks not getting planned during deployment
2) Try anyof these user exists
APOBP011 Enhancement for Stock BAPIs (BUS10504)
APOCF011 Inbound Processing: Stock
APOCF027 Customer-Specific Enhancements: Stock
3) Exclude the category from the ATD receipts category group maintained in the master data

Storage location exclusion from planning run

Hi All
I have excluded material from planning run by putting storage location exclusion indicator in MMSC for material.
Iam using kanban replenishment.
In material master, production storage location is same as that of put in MMSC.
I have created Planned independent requirement in MD61, when i do MRP system created planned order.
Please inform if storage location is excluded from MRP in MMSC then why system is considering requirement for that material at that storage location.

Hi Krishna
Please read help for Storage location MRP indicator
Storage location MRP indicator
Indicator that you use to exclude storage locations from material requirements planning at plant level.
If you do not set this indicator, stock, requirements, and receipts are included in MRP at plant level.
Use
You can exclude storage locations from MRP at plant level in one of two ways:
By excluding storage location stock from MRP
If storage location stock is excluded from MRP at plant level, no receipts for this storage location will be created in the planning run.
By planning storage location stock separately
If storage location stock is planned separately, the storage location is replenished with goods if the stock falls below the reorder point.

Replenishment between Storage Location with MRP Planning

Dear PP Gurus,
I need you expertise on the below question.
I have a plant with multiple Storage Locations. One Storage Location is Main Warehouse and another ilocation s External Warehouse (3PL) where excess stock are kept due to storage capacity in the Main Warehouse.
Now the requirement is replenish the stock to Main Warehouse from the External Warehouse with Stock Transfer using MRP trigger the Stock Transfer.
I know the setting in MRP 4 View in the material master, the Indicator to set to 2, maintain a reoder point in the Sloc: 1200 and Replenishment Qty: 1500 and Special Procurement Type: (what should be the setting)
My question is where to set the target Sloc and source Sloc, then only system will trigger the replenishment Stock Transfer?
The storage location which is plan separately, will have a different segment. Therefore, in terms of the availability check for the Sales Order it will consider as normal based on the scope of check.
Appreciate the reply
Thanks & Regards
Pooja

Dear ,
1.You need to set up the MRP for Plant with group of storage location and run MRP-MD01 .You can try SCOPE of planning -OM0E.
As an information : In standard MRP I, f 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).
2.Find steps for config for activating Sloc to Sloc transfer within plant using STO : -
follow path: SPRO--> Materials Management -->Purchasing -->Purchase Order -->Set up Stock Transport Order -->Set Up Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations
1. Activate Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations
2. Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule According to Storage Location
purchase document category 'F' , here use PO type UB, supplying plant, issue sloc and delivery type , (prefer to create new delivery type by copying delivery type 'NL' replenish delivery
3. Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfers Between Storage Locations
for plant defind sales org and distribution chenal and devision
select the pline and go to sloc
assign there customer (created for sloc)
4. Define Rule for Determination of Shipping Point
for newly created delivery type set L storage location specific shiping poing determination
5. Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location, assign her sloc based shiping poing determination
at last when you will create PO put issue storage location, system will determine shiping data based on config done.
after this process will be same as STO plant to plant using shiping.
You will need to mention the issuing storage location during posting the delivery,
ie, ME21N - Create STO
VL10B - Create Delivery
VL02N - Post Goods issue - here you will need to mention the issuing storage location
Refer : STO process -Std in SAP
Hope it is clear to you .

How do I maintain storage location for Planned Orders in APO

Dear all,
Can you help us in maintaining storage location for planned orders in APO. The storage location from material master need to be updated in product master of APO and the same shall be automatically picked from product master during Supply Network Planning run.
Material master CIF is live.
We have got the following content error in CIF consistency check. How ever this is nt goging to harm any thing, but we would like to maintain in both R/3 and APO.
Error:
Plant and storage location in SAP APO: 2004
Plant and storage location in SAP R/3: 2004 FGPA
Thanks in advance
Ram Mohan Rao Kolanupaka

Instead of maintaining additional master data, i would rather use CCR user exits to switch off comparison of planned order at storage location level if the APO storage location is blank. This way you would not have to make changes to PPMs everytime a new scale out of the solution happens.
In SE18 check the user exit /SAPAPO/CIF_DELTA3 (interface RELEVANT_FOR_COMPARE_ORDHEAD)
If it is not possible to switch off this comparison then I guess changing master data is the next step. Do explore with a developer though about the first option.

Storage Locations from Planning

Hi Gurus,
I want to avoid some storage locations from Planning, if any dependent requirements come specif for those storage locations I want no procrurement proposals to be made. how to do that.
Please suggest.

Dear Srini
1) In MMSC transaction there is a setting -MRP select 1 storage location stock excluded from MRP
2) In MRP View 2 or in Bom item Maintain the Production storage location fied with is specific storage location.Your sceanrio will work

Excluding certain storage location stocks from planning

Hi experts,
We have a requirement as under:
A plant contains certain stocks of a product. Part of this stock is kept in a separate storage location. This stock is reserved for local "over the counter" sale at the plant gate. So this stock should not be considered as available in planning as well as in deployment.
Can we exclude this stock at particular storage location during transfer to APO?
Thanks in advance.
Nitin

Hi Nitin,
I don't think we can exclude any stock at particular storage location during transfer to APO.
In APO, we always have stock at plant level which is the lowest possible level.
And even logically thinking it should not be possible. Least I can say is, this is not the standard APO functionality.
But, we can always explore customer exist.
Instead of doing that, what I would suggest is to make this stock a "Special stock" in ECC.
So, it will not be used for the purpose for which it is not meant for.
Hope this helps. Let us know if it refrain you from making it as a special stock.

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

Can PIR created at wbs element and MRP area of storage location level

Hi,
I tried to create an planned independent requirement at MRP area and WBS element level, but failed. The MRP area is not plant level, but storage location level.
*When trying to create account assignment category Q for it, then there is an error message saying:*
**only stock requirements are allowed when planning at MRP area level.**
Does it mean it is not possible to create planned independent requirement for this case?
Thanks!

Select the "Issue storage location" as '2' here:
spro -> production -> material requirement planning -> mrp groups -> overall maintenance of mrp groups -> overview -> mrp control parameters at material level -> (field) Issue storage location selection
& make sure:
1. In the BOM issue storage location is blank for the components
2. For the FG products , in mrp area prod.storage loc is maintained
3. Components are extended to the mrp area.
Pl. revert with the results

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.

ATP at storage location level

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone help me how to check ATP at storage location level in the plant in Order and delivery processing.
I have seen configuration that ATP will happne at the plant level.
Venkat

Hi,
Availability Check at Storage Location Level
Example:
Plant stock (1000 pieces) is made up of the stock from storage location 1 (800 pieces) and the stock from storage location 2 (200 pieces). Requirement 2 in amounting to 500 pieces is to be withdrawn from storage location 1. This storage location currently contains 800 pieces. However, requirement 2 cannot be completely confirmed at plant level as only 300 pieces are available. Therefore only 300 pieces are confirmed for requirement 2. If the system confirmed the full requirement quantity, the availability of the confirmed issue 1, for which the issue storage location has not been specified and which draws on plant stock, would be jeopardized as it would be short of 200 pieces.
If the storage location is excluded from planning or if it is planned separately, then there is no longer the need for an additional check at plant level since stock from this storage location is not contained in plant stock.
If a storage location is excluded from planning or if it is planned separately, the check cannot be activated without a storage location (see Scope of the Availability Check).

Stock transfer between Plant/Storage location to Plant/Storage location

Dear Experts,
This is a MM component of SAP Retail.
We have 4 brands ( Plants of type B, Plants of type C etc) that needs inventory from the same Distribution center (Plant A) for some common products. Here the direction is to prioritize the inventory per brand. The requirement is one brand should not take the inventory of the other brand.
To overcome this problem , the solution proposed is to have different storage location for different brands in the same DC.
When we run replenishment planning for the brands and do a ATP check, the availability check should consider only the one issuing storage location in the DC which we allocated for the brand.
I do see the following set up in SPRO and I have done the following.
Step1: Activate Stock Transfer between Storage Locations SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations-> u2018Activate Stock transfer between storage locationsu2019
Step2: Assign Delivery Type and checking rule according to storage
SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations->Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule According to Storage
Step3: Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfer between Storage Locations
SPRO ->Material Management ->Purchasing ->Purchase Order ->set up stock transport order ->set up stock transport order between storage locations -> Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfers between Storage Locations 
Step4: Define Rule for Determination off Shipping Point SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations -> Set-up Storage-Location u2013dependent shipping point determination->Define rule for determination of shipping point
Step5: Shipping Point Assignment According to Storage Location
SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations-> Set-up Storage-Location u2013dependent shipping point determination-> Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location
Question.No:1- After completing the above set up in me21n, the issuing storage location field is greyed out. I am not able to enter any value here. Can you please help.
Question.No:2
I do see the following setting.
Under IMG ---> Material Management ---> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Set up Stock Transport Order -->Business Add-In for Determination of Issuing Storage Location
Display the IMPLEMENTATION
Double click on the method GET_SUPPLYING_SL
Click the Execute button
Click the detail button on IF_EX_MD_EXT_SUP
Execute GET_SUPPLYING_SL
There is a prerequisite for this BADI .I have done those things.What i dont understand is where to force the combination of supplying site/issuing stor.loc/receiving site/receiving stor.loc
Kindly provide your inputs.
Thanks,

Dear,
Have You configure MRP in second plant (where you want to transport the Material).
Please try with this and do again Po for stock transport.

MD04 - Display the stock on one storage location particulary.

The transaction MD04 allows seeing the stock of the plant in the first line of the Stock/requirement list.(MD04)
When the plant includes several storage location (e.g MAG1, MAG2, MAG3), we don't have the detail of the quantity one each storage location.
We can use the filter (by using SETTINGS and FILTER ON) that controls the display of the MRP list and the stock/requirements list but this function don't allows seeing only the stock on one storage location particulary. We have to go the tcode MMBE in order to know the stock on each storage location.
Thanks in advance for yours reply.

What is your real problem?
Display the stock storage location-wise is one thing and do MRP without certain storage location(s) (=exclude storage locations from MRP) might be another.
If you only want to display stock of certain storage locations in MD04 but use all you stock for planning, I think there's no reason for it.
If you really want to exclude certain storage locations, then you have to be aware that MRP won't consider that stock (for the plant segment). It will also have impact on ATP (atp won't use that stock too).
So, there's a big difference between exclude a storage location from MRP and to exclude its stock from display.
(You can exclude storage locations from MRP via material master --> MRP4 view --> you have to enter both plant/sloc as organisational level and you will see the suitable tab. It is also possible to control this indicator via config for to be created material masters - you can search and find threads)
You should describe your exact requirement and maybe forum mebers can give you advice.
