TCode to see List of Plant + MRP Areas + MRP Type
Hi,
Can anyone tell whether any TCode exists which gives List of Plant + MRP Areas + MRP Type for the List of Material Number Input.
For eg: MM60 will give list of materials with Plant and its MRP Type.
But it wont give detailes of other MRP Areas under which the Material is maintained.
Regards,
Prathap
Hi,
MC47 will give the list only if some requirement is loaded for the material.
Vishal - Table serves the purpose but i need Tcode only.
Does anyone has idea on other possible TCodes.???
Regards,
Prathap

Add custom field in MRP area-MRP 2 in material master(MM01/MM02/MM03)
Hi
As per my requirementn we have to add one field in the Material master(MM01/MM02/Mm03). Mentioned path below.
MM01/MM02)--> MRP1 tab --> in the MRP areas > click on MRP AREAS button>Pop will come with MRP AREA --> double click on entry > MRP area screen will appear> In MRP2 data tab> i've to add a new custom field. Program Name> SAPLMD_MGD1
Screen --> 0040
Is there any exit/customization which can be used to do this?
i was unable to find a exit for the same.
Thanks,
GauriHi Gauri,
See Note 44410 - Integrating cust.-specific fields in matl master, I think that it will help you

Pass on Material requirements to MRP areas within Plant
- We are on ECC 6.0 & have a scenario wherein material requirements from depots are passed on to respective plants according to the settings defined in the Special Procurement key in the Material Master (MRP View)
- The requirement from depots are passed on to the manufacturing plant & further down to the Plant in which MRP areas are defined, in the form of Planned Orders, if the stock is not sufficient at depot.
- For Subcontracting, we have various MRP areas within a single separate plant. The requirement is that PR that is generated for STO should be able to pass the requirement to an MRP area (after stock checking at MRP area level), (system to decide the MRP area to be selected for passing on the requirements).
- Currently the system is passing the requirements & checking the stock at plant level only.
- Stock determination rules donu2019t seem to work here.
- The opening up of the u2018Issue storage locationu2019 in STOu2019s by config: (u201CPurchase order-> - Set up Stock Transport order - > Set up Stock Transfer between storage locationsu201D) is yet to be tested.
- But in that case, only a single MRP area is defined for the material & therefore the requirements may flow directly to that particular MRP area. In case of Multiple MRP areas being defined for a single material, how can we ensure that the system determines a stock checking at one particular MRP area & pass on the requirements to it.
Seeking guidance as to how this issue can be resolved.
Precisely,
REQ.FRM>FLOW TO>AS (MRP element)
Depot>Plant 1>Planned order (PlOrd)
Plant 1>Plant 2>Material reservation (MtlRes)
Plant 2>MRP area of Plant 2>Transfer reservation (TrnRes)dear colleague,
Please check the following info that can be useful:
1) Note 358936 is relevant for MRP areas of type storage location and
not for Subcontractor MRP areas (which you would be knowing).
2) Secondly this note was created as an advance development and not
for any particular customer problem. It was also feasible to
develop this functionality with a small change.
3) The feature of procurement with Schedule lines for components
in subcontractor MRP areas is not available in the standard SAP
suite and there are no plans to develop this in the near future.
This feature would be an advance development.

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 advancHi,
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 tables for MD06 information access like SQ01, DBM logical database
We currently use SQ01 DBM logical database to access MD06 information (tables MDKP and MDTB). The MRP results from the MRP Area are not showing in this query. This implies that the MRP area, MRP results are stored in other tables.
I have reviewed tables (MDLV, MDMA, MDLG, DVER, MDIP) from a similiar thread. However, they do not contain the MRP data (planned orders, stock, production orders ect) like in the DBM logical database. This data access is very powerfull for exporting planning data for more robust analysis.
Any help is much appreciated.

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.
Kindlt suggetHi,
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.

Once I create an MRP area what is the best practice around making shipments in SD "from" the MRP area and not the plant it resides in itself?
Also if product is made within the plant iself the MRP area resides in vs outside STO ... what is the best practice on "transfering" the product from the plant to the MRP area (MRP area resides within the same plant).
TimThankyou.
One last quesiton ... we are concerned about consuming "forecast" against the MRP area stock .... management is still asking how are sales orders to be entered "against" the MRP area so that forecast in demand plan is consumed?
As it sounds the order entry is as normal eg by sold to, material, date, etc. and only real difference is that when you create your delivery and pick you retrieve stock from the MRP area location eg 1002 which decrements stock from it.
As far as movements, it sounds like you can use location to location transfer postings to move stock between the plant locations and the MRP area location inside the plant and special procurement keys to move UB or NB Stock transports to the plant and then transfer to the MRP area.
Your thoughts or guidance are appreciated as we've never used MRP areas and can't find much info on these areas anywhere.

MRP Area - Vendor Stock separate MRP
Dear Experts,
I would like to consult this solution. Currently we have a standard Subcon PO (MM). In this solution, we provide stocks to vendor via 543. Now, business doesnt want the vendor stocks to be included during MRP. How to set up?
Can I use MRP Area (subcon type) with this just like MRP Area for Slocs?
Appreciate your help. Thank you!I reckon the business wants to see all the stock acquired though purchase made in that MRP area. Since they seemed to concerned about planning and may want to ignore the stock ordered manually (you need to confirm this with business). You may have to create SQL query to report this.
In the table EBAN, filter out all the values the field ESTKZ = 'B' and BERID = your MRP area (if BERID is empty you need to input all the storage locations assigned to that MRP area) and the field EBELN, EBELP, BSMNG contain the purchase order data created from the purchase requisition. You need to inner join that to the purchase order table, EKPO and inner join this to table EKBE (there you can find the material document also) and out put the quantity received.

Hi, wht is the difference bet mrp groups and mrp areas. if we have 4 different final products (ea consists of around 300 parts- bom) what will be prefered to use for mrp run?
Hi All,
For you case :
You can maintain the MRP group for your finish product. But not for all the components of the final products also. because MRP group is based on the Material Type
even the Mrp area you cannot used.
Better use the normal MRP run per the plant parameters.
1. Main Difference b/w MRP group and MRP area :
MRP group :
1. The MRP group is an organizational object that can be used to allocate special control parameters for planning to a group of materials.
2. You can maintain MRP groups if planning control per plant is not precise enough for your requirements and you want to allocate certain material groups different control parameters from the plant parameters.
MRP area :
1. The MRP area represents an organizational unit which carries out materials requirements planning independently
2. An MRP area can include one or several storage locations of a plant or stock with a subcontractor -
Hi all
I am uploading material master mrp area data using LSMW direct input method. The standard prog RMDATIND not showing the BERID field in the step field mapping. IEven table name MDMA is not sowing in structure step also. So that i am not able to mapp BERID field.
Can u suggest right solution.
Thanks
GaneshHi prabu
yes, that is fine. But i have load file only one and i want to update MRP area, MRP group through Standard program RMMDDIBE.
If u said like i want to create onother program for MRP group only. But i dont want like that, i want to update both at a time.
Please suggest me..

Can anyone tell me how the MRP Area field (BERID) is maintained in source list (transaction ME01). In my system it is greyed out?
We are running MRP at MRP Area level and I was hoping that this field would allow me to maintain source lists at this level.
Thanks in advance for your help.

SueHello Sue,
The MRP area field will appear if you are planning with MRP option 2 - Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically.
You can see help document below explaining this process:

Stock Transport from plant to MRP Area
I have been looking for explanation on how to handle replenishment of MRP area storage location stocks within a plant. We use Special procurement types but they are set up on for plants, not MRP areas. Can anyone explain how this works and the configuration to make it work? Were setting up a warehouse as an MRP area and need to replenish its stocks with MRP.
Aren't your questions answered in SAP online help?
Integration
The process is the same as for Storage Location MRP. In contrast to the storage location MRP, you can use all MRP procedures and are not limited to the reorder point planning procedure.
Prerequisites
In Customizing for MRP, you have created the special procurement key for Stock transfer from plant to MRP area for the plant in which the MRP area is located. You have defined the following parameters:
- Procurement type: F for External procurement
- Special procurement: U for Stock transfer
- Plant: Number of plant, to which the MRP area belongs.
In the material master, you have created the MRP area segment and assigned the special procurement key Stock transfer from plant to MRP area.
Features
During MRP, the system generates a stock transfer reservation for the material in the MRP area and a material reservation in the plant MRP area.
The external procurement storage location that you have entered in the MRP area segment of the material master is used as the receiving storage location. If you have not maintained this field, the system uses the receiving storage location that you entered for the MRP area in Customizing.
The actual procurement is processed by the plant. With stock transfer to the MRP area, you carry out the transfer posting for the material with reference to the reservation.
Standard procurement key 45 is for that purpose: plant: 1000 (V460A-WERKS), procurement key F; special procurement: U; plant: 1000 (V460A-WRK02).
So, in both fields you have to write the same plant as it is clearly written in SAP onilne help.
As SAP help says: a Stock transfer reservation is created. Using MIGO (A08; R09) you can post the goods movement by mvt 311 with reference to the Stock transfer reservation (MB1A is also good).
Why don't you test in in your sandbox system and you will see how it works.
(If you want to use STO (purchasing document type UB) in this process you have to go trough OSS note 599915)

Is there a possibility to maintain source list for MRP purposes
at storage Location level? We receive requirements from a couple
of our subsidaries and we were consolidating this to be a single
requirement for our suppliers, however this has changed we have
to now show each subsidary's requirements individually. We
currently only use a single plant, previously we created
additional plants for this and maintained a separate source list
for each. Is this the best way to represent and run MRP for each
subsidary? Thanks.Dear Kennedy,
Source list for Storage Location level not possible!!
An MRP area represents an organizational unit for which you can perform material requirements planning separately.
An MRP area can include one or several storage locations of a plant or a subcontractor. You can define MRP areas in a plant.
By defining MRP areas, you can perform MRP for each area. This means the right quantity of materials can be provided on time for each area, such as a production line, a storage location for spare parts, or subcontractor stock.

Planning a materail at plant level and the MRP Area
Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to plan the same material at the plant level and at the MRP area level ( Storage location MRP)?. If so please provide the steps how this needs to be set-up. what will the implications on the MRP.
Thanks!
Nagesh.Hi,
Inventory can be valuated at two levels either at company code level or at plant level. If you select valuation at company code level, all materials across all the plants will have same material price since valuation is at only company code level.
Say for example Company code 1000 is buying a material which unit price is Rs. 10 from a vendor who supplies to two different plant A & B of company code 1000. Assume Plant A is situated near vendor premises itself (so freight cost is Re 1 extra) whereas plant B is situated at far away from vendor place (so freight cost rs 2 extra) and both cases freight cost is borne by the company and not by vendor.
Assuming you have selected valuation at plant level, now in plant A same material will be valauted at Rs. 11 (10 +1) whereas at plant B it is valuated at Rs. 12 (10+2).
Whereas if you have selected valuation at company code level, price will not be valuated at plant level rather at company code level which will get updated at moving average price in this case.
So it is always best practice to select valuation at plant level rather than at company code level.
