Subcontracting with MRP area

Hi,
we have a FERT material that  is in the MRP area by storage location.
This material was produced internally. When we ran MRP the requirements and planed orders for FERT material and its components were showed in MRP area. It was ok
Nowadays this FERT material was changed to subcontracted.
We don't have a defined supplier for FERT material.
When I run MRP the requirements and planed orders for FERT material are still in MRP area.
When we run MRP for components, the requirements and planned orders go to MRP plant.
This way if we have in MRP area documents placed to cover the requirements from FERT material, MRP will suggest to cancel them. In MRP plant the MRP will suggest to create another documents to cover. How can We avoid this problem?
Thanks and best regards,
Elaine

Hi Elaine,
If your FERT material is set to F , 30  then your MRP run in MRp Area will not create any dependent requirement.
Assuming the setting is X in Material Master,
Given an option please remove the MRP Area planning and the PIR related to that and shift PIR for you FERT material to Plant level in mD61,MD62. This should avoid Planned order getting created in MRP Ara and Plant.
in my past experience unlesss you want to do Planning run with Scope as planning as Vendor th euse of MRP Area for planning for PIR leads to confusion for End users.
Hope this helps.
Thx
MJ

  • Subcontracting with MRP areas / Customer consigment

    Dear all,
    I'm currently looking for some information regarding subcontracting processes with MRP areas.
    On the first hand I need a general overview how subcontracting purchase orders would be handled with MRP areas. In addition I'm really interested in the replenishment of the subcontractor stocks. On the other hand some facts about the customizing would be fine.
    My second topic is consigment stocks at the customer. So I need similar information as for the MRP areas but regarding this customer consigment.
    It would be really great if someone has some literature recommendations or official documentations about these issue.
    Many thanks in advance!
    Regards
    Enrico

    Hi Enrico,
    Working with subcontracting and MRP area's gives you the option to plan the requirements for the subcontractor separately and you can then order the components separately. This functionality is used when working with scheduling agreements and direct deliveries to the subcontractor as there this is a requirement.
    A second instance where one would use and MRP area with sucontracting is that when a material is used both by the subcontractor and it's also used directly in the plant production. The requirements for the subcontractor can be separately planned using an MRP area.
    The following links may give you some more information regarding working with subcontracting and MRP area's

  • Replenishment delivery for material with MRP areas and Avl Check

    HI We have MRP area at storage location level maintained for materials. Stock exists in the plant in the storage location which is part of the MRP area.
    Now when I create STO and try to create delivery for the same, system is giving message 0 stock available and not creating delivery. Material has 02 Avl Chck group.If I deactivate the MRP area in the material master, it allows creation of delivery.
    How can I ensure that system creates delivery even though stocks exist in MRP area relevant sloc only in the plant?
    Sriram

    1) According to SAP when inbound deliveries are used and your delivery item category is set up for mvt type 101, these should be received with transaction VL32N. If you use MIGO/MB0A instead the GR status in the delivery will not be updated. If you then report on open deliveries you'll notice that nothing is received in the course of time. Amazing. Now if you set up the delivery item category without the movement type your inbound will not even be GR relevant. Just one of these things that's nice to be aware of.

  • Problem with MRP area

    Gurus,
    I had activated MRP area for exisitng client.
    The scenario is,
    Within a plant i have two MRP area. One is plant level (A) and the other one is storage location level (B)
    A finished good and its components belongs to both the MRP areas. (A and B) I created a Planned Independent Requirement for finished good at storage location MRP area (B) and run MRP via MD02 for MRP area B, i got a planned order at MRP area B. But the dependent requirements for the components are created at MRP area (A) plant level.
    My requirement is to get the dependent requirements at MRP area B for pegged requirements of MRP area B.
    Suggestion to this isue is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Aravind

    Hi pravin,
    Thank you for the reply.
    Initially my client was not activated for MRP area. So when i activated MRP area, throughout my client for each of  the existing plants an MRP area is created by default. So, all the materials that belongs to the plant, by default belongs to the plant MRP area.(A)
    I created one more Storage location level MRP area (B) and assigned that to MRP 1 view of the finished good and all of its components. I also created a planned independent requirement for the finished good at MRP Area B. that is i can see the requirement in MD04 screen only with the MRP area B and not in MRP area A.
    Then i ran MRP for the finished thru MD02 for MRP Area B. I got a planned order in MD04 of MRP area B.
    As you are aware MD04 screen is specific for particular MRP area.
    This planned order is not displayed in MD04 screen of MRP Area A. But the dependent requirements for the components are not displayed in MD04 screen of B. But the dependent requirements are seen in MD04 Screen of MRP area A.
    As per my understanding the dependent requirements of components should be displayed in MD04 screen of B as my pegged requirements are from MRP area B.
    Kindly suggest and please let me know if any thing is not clear.
    Regards,
    Aravind

  • Availability check with MRP area at Sloc level

    HI We have MRP area at storage location level maintained for materials. Stock exists in the plant in the storage location which is part of the MRP area.

    Sriram

    I am sure you have already moved on from this issue, but what you mention is a limitation prior to ECC 6.  You can not identify on the purchasing document the source sloc of the supplying plant.  This is why you can not create the STO between sloc MRP areas.  I was told this was resolved in ECC 6.

  • 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.

  • Sap pp -MRP-area

    Hello SAP-Guruu2019s
    Pls tell me the Procedure/steps/Details to maintain MRP-area for a Vendor & also for a Sub-Contractor.
    Any comments welcome   & Thanks in advanc

    Hi,
    Pls. find the following details regarding MRP Area :
    MRP Area
    Definition
    The MRP area represents an organizational unit for which material requirements planning is carried out independently.
    Basically, there are three types of MRP area:
    Plant MRP Area
    The plant MRP area initially contains the plant together 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. This is because 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 to it. These storage locations are then planned together.
    A storage location of a plant may be assigned to only one MRP area.
    MRP Areas for Subcontractors
    You can also define an MRP area for each subcontractor.
    A subcontractor may be assigned to only one MRP area. An MRP area of the subcontractor type may also only contain one subcontractor.
    Use
    You can carry out MRP specifically for the determined MRP areas. This enables you to carry out differentiated material requirements planning. The requester can be, for example, the production on a particular assembly line or a subcontract order.
    The MRP area allows you to have specific control over the staging and procurement of important parts produced in-house and purchased parts for each shop floor area. You can, however, also plan the provision of components for the individual subcontractors.
    MRP areas of the storage location or subcontractor type are only suitable for:
    components that are planned and produced for stock
    finished products that are planned and produced for stock. By assigning a storage location in a sales order or by entering an MRP area when creating the planned independent requirements, you can define whether a material is planned in the plant MRP area or in the MRP area of the storage location.
    Finished products and important assemblies intended for make-to-order or engineer-to-order production are always planned in the plant MRP area.
    The planning run takes into account the planning with MRP areas as follows:
    If you do not enter a separate scope of planning, the system plans the whole plant, that is, all MRP areas in the plant, during the total planning run. If you want to carry out a total planning run for a particular MRP area only, you must specify the required MRP area in the scope of planning.
    During single-item, multi-level planning, the system plans the selected material in the MRP area entered. In addition, the system takes into account planning file entries from other MRP areas, for example, if the material is to be procured using stock transfer.
    During single-item, single-level planning, the system plans the selected material in the MRP area entered only.
    Structure
    You define the MRP areas in Customizing for MRP. You can thereby assign the following to an MRP area:
    one or more storage locations (example: you want to carry out planning for a particular assembly line and therefore assign a production storage location to the MRP area)
    a subcontractor.
    You assign the various MRP areas to the materials in the material master. For this, you create an MRP area segment for a material for every MRP area, in which it is used. In this MRP area segment, you can define MRP parameters such as, for example, the lot size or MRP type. This allows you to plan the material differently in the MRP area from how you plan it in the plant MRP area.
    MRP with MRP areas for the material is not activated until the material has been assigned to an MRP area. If you have not assigned a material to an MRP area, that is, you have not created an MRP area segment in the material master, the material will continue to be planned in the plant MRP area only. If you have assigned an MRP area to it, the system can plan it in the plant MRP area and in the assigned MRP area.
    Integration
    You can carry out material requirements planning for MRP areas using all MRP procedures and all lot-sizing procedures.
    You can also carry out an independent material forecast for MRP areas using your own parameters.
    The material consumption values are updated separately for each MRP area.
    A separate ATP check is carried out for each MRP area.
    If several storage locations belong to an MRP area, the system can also carry out a check at two levels, that is, at storage location level and at MRP area level.
    Example: Subcontractor
    You can also carry out planning for components to be provided in subcontracting using an MRP area by defining an MRP area for every subcontractor and assigning the components to be provided to the MRP area of the subcontractor. You therefore plan the requirements to be provided for these components for one subcontractor separately from all other requirements (see Planning for Components to be Provided in Subcontracting).
    Depending on the requirements situation, the system creates either stock transfer reservations from the plant to the stock of material provided of the subcontractor or it creates purchase requisitions within subcontracting/third-party order processing, according to the special procurement key settings.
    Implementing MRP Areas
    Implementation Options
    The main reason for you to implement MRP areas is if you would like to plan materials, which are required in different shop floor areas, storage locations or by subcontractors, separately from one another.
    As soon as you have activated materials requirements planning with MRP areas, this type of MRP is active at client level, that is, MRP will be carried out in this way in all plants.
    Material requirements planning with MRP areas cannot be reversed.
    Process Flow
    You can implement material requirements planning with MRP areas in three steps:
    You convert the existing planning file entries at plant level to planning file entries at MRP area level.
    During the conversion, the system creates a plant MRP area for every plant as a background job. This, however, will not affect your planning. The processes in material requirements planning and the planning results remain unaffected.
    The conversion is also useful even if you do not work with MRP areas, but still have to plan for several plants, as the new planning file improves system performance during the planning run.
    You activate MRP with MRP areas in Customizing for MRP. This causes the MRP area field to appear in the applications of MRP and in related areas. When you enter the plant number, the system automatically fills the field with the number of the plant MRP area. The number of the plant MRP area is the same as the plant number.
    This does not affect the planning run as the plant MRP area still corresponds to the present plant.
    You define an MRP area, for example, for a storage location. You then assign the materials that are to be planned for this storage location, by creating an MRP area segment in the material master.
    Materials requirement planning for this storage location is then carried out separately. The storage location stock is no longer included in the available stock of the plant MRP area. The receipt and issue elements of this storage location (MRP area) are also not taken into account in the plant MRP area. They are only taken into account in the MRP area of the storage location.
    If you have already worked with storage location MRP the system still carries out storage location MRP even after the activation of MRP areas. You need to decide in principle whether you want to continue using storage location MRP or whether you want to create MRP areas for the storage locations that are planned separately. It is not possible to simultaneously plan a material using storage location MRP and an MRP area for the same storage location.
    If you decide to use MRP areas, you should then try to convert all storage locations that are planned separately to MRP areas in one step. Before you assign the material to an MRP area, you must remove the MRP indicator, which is located in the material master at the storage location organizational level (view MRP 4) in the screen area Storage location MRP.
    Even if you have defined MRP areas in Customizing, the system plans the materials in the plant MRP area until you assign the MRP areas to the materials.
    Only the assignment of one or more MRP areas to a material, by creating MRP area segments in the material master, actually cause changes in the material requirements planning.
    Hope this helps.

  • MRP Area Wise Run for Sales Requirenment

    Greetings..
                                I have two raw material (Trading).....in MRP view i defines these material under MRP area ...(Respective setting done in SPRO)
    Now i created sales order for these Raw material .
    Now in MD04 ...i m getting requirement but under plant....if i choose MRP area i m not getting Requirement...so if i try MD01 ...under MRP i m not getting Result of MRP..
    I need two Run MRP only for MRP area which assigned to Raw material in Material Master
    i m using Startegy 40..
    What else setting i have to do for getting Run with MRP area (MD01)

    1) Convert planning file entries - you must first convert the existing planning file entries at plant level to MRP area level in the planning file  (OM0F)
    2) Activate MRP for MRP areas (Production ->MRP -> Master Data -> MRP areas -> Activate MRP for MRP areas)
    3) Define MRP areas
    4) Assign material to MRP areas in Material master MRP1 view
    The allocation to a storage location MRP area is made using the storage location that the system determines during the planning run. This is determined on the basis of the storage location entered in the BOM (BOM item), in the work center (production supply area), or in the production version or in the material master. This storage location must be included in the MRP area that you have assigned in the material master. In addition, it is necessary that the view "Storage 1" or "Storage 2" exists for this storage location in the material master.
    Sales orders are assigned to a MRP area depending on their storage location (the issue storage location in the shipping screen of the item details).

  • Mrp area for subcontractor

    Hy all,
    could anyone help me??
    How can I make fixed sc vendor (subcontractor vendor) field in a purchase requisition created from MRP?
    Is possible to make this with MRP area for subcontractor ?
    Please, could you suggest me the steps to implement this ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I talk about SC vendor , ( in my case the vendor is a subcontractor vendor ) field in purchase requisition.
    I would make it fixed in the purchase requisition created from MRP without insert it and then flag sc field every time.
    I think it is possible by the using of mrp area for subcontractor vendor, but i don't know the correct procedure to make this.
    Thank you for your feedback.

  • Creating Planned Independent Requirements for an MRP Area.

    Hi All,
    I am trying to enter Planned Independent Requirements for an MRP Area, with requirement type VSE and I get the following error;
    "Only stock requirements are allowed when planning at MRP area level".
    I can enter at the Plant level with no problems.
    Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
    Kevin.

    The following is the excerpt from SAP [Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/81/470a58ddab11d1b55b0000e82de178/frameset.htm] I think you maintained a planning strategy in the MRP view (for the plant) which doesn't support VSE.
    You can delete PIRs from an MRP area by deleting the MRP area number from the Creating Planned Independent Requirements screen and recompiling.
    When you define the planning strategies and parameters in the material master, these parameters apply to the whole plant, including all the MRP areas within the plant: You cannot maintain the MRP areas separately.
    The integration of the MRP area and the assignment of the MRP area in the sales order is supported only by a user exit in the sales and distribution user exit pool.
    Sales orders with MRP areas are created irrespective of the availability check control group in the material master.
    Customer order processing of production sales orders with the item category (account assignment Step E Single) is only maintained in the MRP area of the plant.
    In Customizing and in the MRP area user exit, make sure that when transferring individual sales orders, only requirements types KE, KEK, KEKS, KET, KELV, KEV, KEVV, VSEF, and VSE are generated.
    The following requirements types are valid for the MRP area: KE, KEK, KEKS, KET, KELV, KEV, KEVV, VSEF, and VSE.
    You cannot plan with preliminary planning materials in the MRP area.
    There is no planning strategy for the material segment of the MRP area.
    The planning strategy for the material master segment of the plant is assigned to the material segment of the MRP area.
    The consumption mode and the periods of adjustment are derived from the plant in the MRP area of the material master.
    Only consumption customer requirements with planned independent requirements are allowed: VSF requirements with KSV and VSFB with KSV.

  • MRP areas--Component To be issues for different MRP areas

    Dear All
    I have this scenario for MRP areas--- MRP area 2000 and 3000..these areas are basically 2 separate physical production facitilties...One is main production plant and other is lab for making samples.... But they store the raw material stock seprately..stock for raw material for main production is in main warehouse 2000 and stock for samples lab in in their mini warehosuese 3000.
    Busniess wants to consume stock from main production warehosue when doing main production and to consume stock from samples warehosue when doing samples production. BUT header item is same and raw materials are also same. Means the same BOM.
    Example-- FG1 and it has RM1 and RM2 in BOM
    Kindly help to do settings\configuration somehow that when we do production in 2000, compoenent are comsumed from 2000 and when we do production in 3000, components from 3000.
    I extended FG on both MRP areas. even for RM1 anf RM2, i extended it on both MRP areas. So in MRP2 view prodcution stprage location is 2000 and with MRP area MRP 2 view production storage location is 3000.
    It did not work.

    Hi,
    What you need is a way to determine the proper issue storage location for the two cases.
    Since, as you say, the BOM is the same, you need to use production versions. In the definition of the production version you can control the issue storage location for the components of the order.
    All you need then is to choose the right production version for each case when you create the order.

  • MRP area configure but vendor is diffrent between client

    May I know if have configure MRP area before?
    I faced the following problem. Hope you can help.
    I configure one MRP area with MRP area type as 03 (i.e. vendor) in DEV-100
    However, I cannot put in the subcon-vendor number at DEV-100 because the vendor is internal numbering and it is different between the production and devleopment.
    Thus, how to put in the vendor number in DEV-100?
    and How to change it in Production system on this vendor?
    thanks
    Tuff

    Hi,
    you have to do this configuration directly in production...

  • MRP Area Clarification

    Hi Friends
    I have a Plant with only one storage location and I assign an MRP area with plant type and Storage location type MRP area, when I run MRP for the plant only the plant level requirements are taken into account and the stock is not considered right?? And when I run MRP at MRP area level for storage location the stock is considered and the requirements at plant level are not considered correct?
    Please clarify the above
    Jade

    Hi,
    You have a plant with only one str location. Plant is assigned with MRP area & str location also assigned to str loc MRP area.
    So in the plant no str location.
    When run MRP at str location level, system will not consider plant level.
    MRP run at Plant level will not consider str loc MRP area.
