*please do not give any links or do copy pastes.please share the answer if u ve used it real time scenarios.
thnx a lot in advance

Hi Anil,
I know little bit about strategy group that thing only Iam explaining you.
The strategy group determines the planning strategy of a material production.
Example :- 1.If you put strategy group as 20 in the strategy group field the system will trigger the Make to order planing strategy to produce the material.
In the Make to order strategy system will make plan to produce a material after getting the requirement in the form of the sales order, here sales order will trigger the production order.
Make to order strategy will be used when the materials are customer specific.
2.If you put strategy group as 10 in the strategy group field system will trigger the make to stock planning strategy to produce that material based on the other configuration in IMG.
Make to stock means producing the material without respect to Demond, it will be based on the past sales.
Based on Availability check and Transfer of requirements configuration in IMG, these requirement will trigger at sales order level.
I hope it will help you
Regards,
Murali.

MRP settings-Strategy group

Hello PP Gurus,
I have a very basic question. I explain with an example.
Scenario : MTO
Customer orders for 1 elavator. Say Component Elev
It has components
1)Windows Proc key F
2)Motor Proc key E
Moto components 2a)Body Proc key F
2b)Wiring-Proc key E
3) Doors (Proc key E)
My question is in reference to strategy. How do I assign the straegies to different components?If I assign a strategy say 85 to header lever component Elev the do I need to assign the same strategy to lower level components too? Could I use a different strategy for lower level components?Do I need to assign strategy to components with proc key F too, as I dont see any need for it?When should I use MRP type PD or ND to header level material.
Assigning strategy group and MRP type is a bit confusing for me although I understand the functionality.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Sunny

Hi,
My question is in reference to strategy. How do I assign the straegies to different components?
In material master / mrp view , you can assign what the planning strategy you want for differenet componenets.
It is depends how you going to procure the components -whether you are going to procure before /afte with ref to sales
so it will bevary by planning strategy -make to stock./ make to order res.
If I assign a strategy say 85 to header lever component Elev the do I need to assign the same strategy to lower level components too?
No its not need actually if you going to plan the components depend upon the project. you need to have the diff strategy for components , if you procure the components before/or without ref of the projject.
Could I use a different strategy for lower level components?
you need to have the diff strategy for components , if you procure the components before/or without ref of the projject.
Do I need to assign strategy to components with proc key F too, as I dont see any need for it?When should I use MRP type PD or ND to header level material.
That moe enough to have the strategy for header . but if you going to procure the component before the pjoject . so you need to choose the make to stock strategy.

Strategy Group

Hi,
My client is using Strategy group 00 (No Planning/No requirement transfer) and MRP type as M0 for a FG. So will the FG be considered for planning..?? What is the Logic in maintaing like this..??How will the system consider for planning if it is to be considered.
Regard's,
Uday.

Hi,
Material will be taken for planning based on MRP type and Strategy group,
MRP type for EX PD, M1 etc will be used to assgined the type of MRP planning to be done.
MRP strategy group will help further in comparing the demand, for ex Make to stock (10), Make to Order (20), final Assembly planning etc.
(40)
So it is important to maintian both MRP type and Strategy group for MRP run.
Pl gothro the online help file for further details.

MRP exception message 64 and planning strategy group 52

Hi Gurus,
I have done extensive search online in the forum to find the route cause why we are getting MRP exception message 64 for a specific material in one of our plants. This exception message does not occur for the same materials which is also produced in another plant.
I was just wondering whether the planning strategy group of 52 in MRP 3 view would have any effect on the frequent occurrence of exception message 64. I know that the 64 message occurs when the routing time is higher than the in house production time. If that's the case where to look for in routing to correct this, apart from this do we need to look at work centers and other details. I'm not a PP person but still was curious to know see if i could take a shot at it.
Also the MRP settings that we follow in the plant where this problem does not occur is NETCH, Create PR - 2, Schedule lines - 3, create MRP list - 1, Planning mode - 3, scheduling -2
in the plant where the 64 message occurs quite often is Netch, Create PR -2, Schedule lines - 3, create MRP list - 1, planning mode - 1, Schdeduliing - 1
I was thinking do MRP settings and planning strategy group would have any impact on why we are getting the 64 wexception message
Because of this 63 exception message, the downstream components are getting wrong signals.
Thanks
Ravi

Hello Ravi
Generallt, exception message "64 - Production finish after order finish" is triggered when the order start date is in the past and system automatically changes to forward scheduling to calculate the finish date.
Note 1913017 explains how the order basic date is calculated and adjusted in case of forward scheduling, however, you are using strategy 52 and this is a very special scenario, whever VP planned orders are generated.
The VP planned orders will always be adjusted to the requirements date even if the requirements date is in the past. This is a special feature in the planning segment, since these orders are only kind of 'virtual' planned orders. These orders only have to provide the demand requirements for the components in time.
Therefore, there is a relationship between strategy 52 (VP planned order) and the exception message observed.

Verifying understanding on Strategy group (MRP 3 View)

Hello Forum,
As per my understanding, if we don't have any independent requirement or customer order for semi-finished or packaging products then there is no need to maintain any Strategy group (MRP 3 View) field @ material master .
Am I correct or you foresee any reason to maintain it ?
Cheers
Sam

Dear Sam Das,
For semi finished material if you leave the strategy group than it is ok if you do not run mrp. In case of mrp run and your semi finished product have different requirement than make to stock scenario than in that case it is necessary. If you leave it blank and run mrp system will consider it as 10.

Strategy Group & MRP

Hi,
What is the significance of Strategy Group & how the system follow or search the path for Desired strategy ?
What is the name of MRP Table.
Thnx in advance

Hi,
To make up a product we need some requirements in the form of demand.
This requirements are independent requirements and customer requirements
To create a demand Program the Demand Management uses PIRS and
Customer Requirements and we need to define a planning strategy
Planning strategy define the methods of production for planning and
manufacturing a product.Using these strategies we decide whether
production is triggered by sales orders or not ie MTS OR MTO
Requirements classes:
We need to define requirements class which contains control parameters
for planning and consuming the PIR and customer requirements.
This Requirements class is to be assigned to requirements type
By doing this we are indirectly assigning the control parameters to
strategy via Requirements type
This Requirements Type is to be assigned to strategy
Strategy should be assigned to strategy group
Strategy group is to be assigned to Material in Mrp 3 view or via MRP Group.
Preference will be given to strategy maintaine in MRP 3 View.
If no strategy is maintained here the system searches for the MRP Group

nandha

Which MRP strategy group can be used in my businss?

Dear,
the below is my business.
Wk1:this week-we will receive the order confirmation from customer
WK2:production week
WK3:sales delivery week
Wk1.4: thursday of this week.
WK1.4:receive the order confirmation,and wk2.4 will plan the detailed production planning(VSF) for every day,WK3.4 will create the sales order and delivery the goods to customer.
Now wk1.4 upload the IndReq VSF for every day of WK2, when i create the sales order on wk3.4,it will consume the IndReq VSF from wk3.4 to wk2, but i want to consume only wk2, not include wk3 IndReq VSF.
my current strategy group is 40, consumption mode: 1,backward .
Are there other available strategy group for my business?
Thanks in advance.

For resolving your problem Pl do the following settings in customization
Define new requiremnt type
Define new requirement class for PIR in which set indicators, PI 1, ConsI (No consumption) and requirement category 1
Assing requirement class to requirment type
Define new strategy and assign new req type to PIR type
Define a strategy group whcih would be cobination of startegy (40 + new)
Assign this strategy group in the material mster

Transfer of data from R/3 to APO for strategy group

Hi,
Can we transfer materials from R/3 to APO that donot have R/3 strategy group 10, 40, 50, 60, 70?
I am trying to transfer a material with MRP type Z4. Everything else is maintained properly but the material doesn't show up in APO. The plant is transferred, the setting in CFC9 is 2 and the no blocks in SMQ. I tried CFP1 as well but it not even collected there. The message type CIFMAT is checked and ALE change pointer checked in BD 61.
Thanks.

Hi
Just to recheck what you have written, Planning without final assembly should be Proposed Strategy 30 in APO. Has the config in your APO system been amended or did you mistype?
If it was strategy 70 in R/3 then there is a note which would have been relavant I think:
[Note 711107 - Transfer strategy group 70 to SAP APO without manual changes|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/711107]

Different strategy Group

Dear PP Gurus ,
I m created a Material No with Strategy group 50 .
Then i m created Plan Number For This Material using MD61 Tcode .
Then i m created Planned Order also for This material.
Both the Values, Plan Number And Planned Order number Are Stored in Plaf Table .
But i m created Another Material Number with strategy group 10 Means , In Plaf table Only Stored Planned Order Number .
Plan Number is not Updated .
Why Plan Number is Not Updated in Plaf Table ?
Anythink Mistakes From ABAPer Or Functional .
Explain Me.....
Warm Regards ,
GJ

Hi
This is standard functionality and not an error.
Strategy 50 is related to MTO type of production.
Planned independent requirements that are planned using this particular strategy 50 are listed in a separate segment in the MRP list. The planned orders are created with the order type VP and are unconvertible. The sales orders for this strategy are entered as individual customer requirements and are maintained in a separate segment in the planning run.
Strategy 10 is related to MTS type of production and Planned orders can be used interchangebly for any requirement. For this reason plan number is not updated in PLAF table.

Independent requiement is not comsumed in strategy group 10

HI Gurus,
My material is maintained as :
Strategy group :      10      Make-to-stock production
Consumption mode     2    backward anf forward
Indenpendent requirement is created as LSF.
in MD04, it shows like below:
stock                            5
IndReq   LSF     20-       15-
CusOrd xxx      1-         16-
Reqtype of Cusord is KSL.
after i finish PGI, it shows like below:
stock                            4
IndReq   LSF     20-       16-
So i have two questions:
1:why the indReq is not consumed.
2:how to control when to cosume inreq , when sales order is created or when PGI is done?
BR,
Dragsky

Hi
In strategy 10 PIR is consumed when delivery is done against sales order.
This is controlled at the time of definition of MRP strategy IMG->PP->Demand Mgmt->PIR->Planning strategy. by assigning requirement class to the strategy.
For st 10 requirement class is 100. for consumption following options are available
No consumption with customer requirements
Consume planning with assembly
Consume planning w/o assembly
Consume planning material (w/o assembly)
for 100 option 0 is maintained which is standard sap setting not recommended to change. If you need a different behaviour you can create a new rer class and strategy as per your need.

Strategy Group 25

Dear experts,
I am using strategy group 25 (Make to order with variant configuration).i have some variant materials and also some non variable materials i.e. sub assemblies/Roh
Scenario: Created a sales Order .MRP run has been carried out . Procurement starts. While testing I observed that the for most of the materials even though we have stock system instead of creating reservation and consuming the existing stock , it has created planned order for semi finished components.
With this strategy is it not possible to consume the exiting stock , in the absence of the stock system, should create procurement proposal .Please let me know , if I am missing anything in master data or in configuration.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
This is essentially a make-to-order stock. It means that, for the finished product, you will not consider the existing stock.
For the components, however, you can control if the will be linked to the sales order stock using the individual/collective setting of the material master. If you set the value 2, system will plan the components as MTS and it will consume the existing stock before creating a new replenishment proposal.

System raising planned order for PIR using strategy group 50

Hello Everyone,
Here I am planning to use strategy group 50 for the finished product. I have given PIR Qtys for the same and when MRP is run system is automatically raising planned orders of order type LA. Which means the same can be converted to production order and I am able to convert the same.
But as I understand with strategy group 50, you can convert planned orders to production orders only if sales orders exist and
Dependent requirements for lower levels are thrown and can be manufactured but not header material.
So I am not sure why this is happening. Or is strategy group 50 not supported for AFS.
Please do provide inputs.
Sincerely,
Aji Kurian Mani

Hello Aji Kurian Mani ,
Currently, AFS is designed to support only strategy group 40.
Thanks and best regards,

PS Material Strategy Group as 21 - reg

Hello,
For PS materials we are using planning material strategy group as 21.
Could you explain this clearly???????
purpose and need of 21 while running project MRP???
Speciality of 21 apart from other strategy groups(10,40 and etc)??
pls help me in this regard,,,,,
Regards,
Prakash.
Reward points for useful answer.............

Hi,
Strategy group of the material determines the requirement class of the material which inturn determines the account assignment, consumption account, special stock, etc.
Strategy group 21 is hard-coded for requirement class 80 which is for MTO project stock.
Quote from SAP documentation:
Quote begins:
"SAP has predefined strategy group 21 (with strategy 21) for the link
between sales documents and projects.
Notes:
If you do not maintain the strategy group for the material in the sales
and distribution document item, you cannot assign that item to a WBS
element.
Alternatively, you can assign the strategy group to a material using MRP
group 0021 (also predefined).
Requirements Classes
SAP has predefined requirements class 80 with account assignment
category D (assignment to WBS element) for the link between projects and
sales and distribution documents. Requirements class 80 is assigned to
strategy 21 using requirements type KP (also predefined).    "

Hope you find the information useful.

Dear,
please check IN MD62 for that material, check the requirement type? It won't be VSE. for startergy 50, PIR requiremnt type should be VSE,
Reason may be
In MD61 - Check - are you maintained any user parameter in requirement type in MD61

Withdrawal using strategy group 10

Hi Dear SAP Expert,
I have the follow scenario:
I using strategy group 10 in some material to create demand for them and only reduce this demand by Sales Order, just I have a case for two material where demand was reduced. after check if it was created some sales order for this material I did not found none.
It is possible to create withdrawal by other process that it is not sales order using strategy group 10?
How can find what o how this demand was reduced?
Is there some report to show withdrawal for material?
Example:
Material    147420311          STATIC CONVERTER(TV)-G5E
Plant       TVSO   Reqmts type LSF Version/active PP /    ReqPlanNo.      SRVC
Plan. qty                  30 EA                          MRP area
P------ Reqmts dt. -Planned qty-Whitdrawal qyt

Thanks in advance for all help

Hi Mario,
FIrts,
Thanks for answer soon :).
You rigth, withdrawal it is done by GI from delivery I wanted to say that, then this GI delivery is from a sales order, rigth?
I know that it can be GI from Production Ordrer, but when we use strategy 10 withrawal will be done by GI delivery from sales order, according with sap help.
Just I am invetigatiing why I have a withdrawal if I have not any delivery for this material.
And I use Transaction MD63 to see demand for this material and I see withdrawal reduce on Schedule line tab on this view. just I want to know what or how was reduced demand if I have not any GI delivery.
I have this issue only with a couple material, all them are working properly.
just I have compared those a couple material with other that are working fine but I do not see diference on its configuration on material master.
Could you advice me on this pls? get a address to follow?
I appreciate you great a attention!!
Best Regards,
Julio
