Use of Planning Calender

Hi gurus,
I want to understand the use of Planning Calender. I want to know what will happen if i use the Counter as 2 and give the day as Monday. Please give me an example so that i can understand the use of Planning Calender. And also on the Procurement Proposals getting created based on Planning calender.

Hi,.
     Planning calendar (MARC-MRPPP) in combination with lot size PK works in MRP calculation date, but not in ATP.
Example: today is 1/15/09 (Thur), my calendar is configured to have deliveries on Tues, Planned delivery time is 6, GR time is 1. MRP will calculate the following date:
1/15 + 6 = 1/21 (Wed). It would then increase the date to the next Tues (1/27)
1/27 + 1 = 1/28 - this is the result for the requisition date.
If I enter a sales order (ATP check to use RLT) and there is not available inventory, I get confirmed date 1/22! The system takes today 1/15 + 6 + 1 = 1/22. But this is 6 days before MRP can confirm it!
Menu path: Production -> MRP -> Master Data -> Planning Calendar (MD25)
You will then need to use this planning calendar (the one you created) in the material master when planning your raw materials (MRP2 View in 4.6C - Field name : Planning Calendar).
1. When you maintain the planning calendar you will need to enter a valid from date and valid to date.
2. Your periods will also need to be set up and they will be weekly, for example:
    From Date : 11/23/2009   To Date : 11/29/2009   (11/23 is a Monday, this is your from date).
    Do this for as may weeks as you wish (say weekly for 2 years).
3. When you have set up the planning calendar, you will then need to make some changes to the weekly lot size configuration
    (WB), or you may need to create a new lot size key if you do not want to change 'WB'. Essentially, you will need to use the
    following in the lot size configuration (OMI4) :
    No. of Periods : 1
    LotSizeProced.: P
    LotSize ind : K
    Scheduling : 1

Use of report RMMDDIBE for MRP area creation

Dear All
I have this requirement where i have to extend already created materials to storage location MRP areas. In SAP documentation i found that, standard report RMMDDIBE can be used for this.
If anyone has worked with this earlier, kindly let me few things abt this report
1- Exact fucntionality of this report
2. How to run this report
3. Is it a configuration or just front end report which has to be run everytime
4. can we make front end batch job
Any help on this would be great
thanks
bals

Hi Murugesan,
1. Exact fucntionality of this report
The mass create & change MRP Area data instead of manually doing via material master MRP1 view
2. How to run this report
Select the materials and plant that you want to create or change the MRP areas, then select where to copy the MRP area data from, i.e. copy from material master MRP views, copy from other MRP area data.
For example you can copy the material master data when creating, then use "create/change the data" to update some of the fields.
3. Is it a configuration or just front end report which has to be run every time
Yes, you must have configured MRP area and assigned storage locations in the IMG. RMMDDIBE is a mass master data update program, it is not configuration.
4. can we make front end batch job
No real need, this is a mass create/change program.

MRP area data tables

Hello all,
We want to know the tables where the MRP area data for a storage location is stored. We are looking table which are similar to MDKP and MDTB in which the noraml MRP data is stored. we do not use comsumption planning at the Mrp area level and we have scheduling agreements which go the the mrp area storage location and we get a STO from the storage location to the production storage location. I am looking for data which is displayed in MD06 for the MRP area. Thanks in Advance.

MRP Areas in Flexible Planning?

Hi,
we are in the process of evaluating different planning tools for our long term planning. And I guess we have two options: APO-DP and Flexible Planning in ECC. We are a non manufacturing (government) organisation and want to try to forecast/plan future demand and requirements. We are getting our demands from maintenance orders and cost center consumption. Reqs are in the form of components on maintenance orders and STO's between storage locations in different MRP areas.
Is it possible to do flexible planning and taking mrp areas into account. Will it be possible to forecast future demands on Plant and MRP area level. Mind we are not selling anything through sales order, so we are not actively using SD org structure.
Best regards,
Kenneth

Dear,
APO-DP Vs Flexible Planning in ECC. Yes APO advance but ECC is more user friendly.
The master data is managed in R/3 and transferred to APO using CIF. An issue storage location is maintained in the R/3 production version. This issue storage location is assigned to an MRP area in R/3. This MRP area is contained in the integration model (transaction CFM1). The MRP area is therefore transferred to APO. The APO plan (PPM or PDS) is created in APO in the MRP area. Using this plan, a planned order is created in the MRP area location in APO.
If you want the R/3 behavior, you must not assign the component to the model in the MRP area location. The system will then automatically switch to the plant location, that is, the system then uses the plant location as the issuing location of the component in MRP area.
Hope it will solve your problem. Also refer the OSS Note 628739 - APO 3.x Release restrictions for MRP areas

Consider planned delivery time field in MRP Areas

Hi,
I would like to know if the "Consider Planned Delivery Time" field in the MRP areas is taken into the scheduling of materials during MRP run? From the help documentation, it seems to be yes. Otherwise the system will take the Planned Delivery Time from the Plant level. May I ask how we can tick this field for all materials? We are currently in the process of activating the MRP areas in our system. Before, we didn't use the MRP areas but we think the need for it has arrived. Is there a mass maintenance tool to do this? Or do I have to use LSMW? Thanks!
Regards,
Chester

Hello Chester
If you flag the field "consider planned delivery time" the planned delivery time defined on the MRP area will be considered by MRP. You should tick it for all the materials if the value from the MRP area should be considered.
Also, the report RMMDDIBE can be used for mass processing of MRP areas.

Planning calender: Delivery 2 times per per week

Hello,
we got an arrangement with one of our vendors. When we order on Monday, Tuesday they will deliver on Friday the same week. Wenn we order on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the will deliver on the next Tuesday.
I tried to solve this by using a planning calender for Tuesday and Friday. The calender works fine. But please see the following table and the problem. You can see that i can not reach the expected delivery days exactly.
Order                                                   Monday   Tuesday   Wednesday   Thursday   Friday
expected delivery day                          Friday      Friday       Tuesday        Tuesday    Tuesday
Delivery with 1 day delivery time         Friday      Friday       Tuesday        Tuesday    next Friday
Delivery with 0 days delivery time       Friday      Friday       Friday            Tuesday    Tuesday
Anybody an idea to reach the expected delivery days?
One solution could be to change automatically via batch the planned delivery time, two times a week.
Thanks for your response.
Johannes Schulte

Hello Antony,
i do not now how this should solve my problem. Can you please add more information?
I add some periods from my planning calender. There are two types of periods:
1: start at Tuesday and end at Thursday
2: start at friday and end at Monday

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.

Tejas

MRP Areas

I have defined MRP areas for our plant, however I'm not certain about the Conversion of the Planning File for MRP Areas if this will give me an option to convert specific plants or is it going to convert every plant?
Please help, thanks.

Hi
The first process in MRP is the checking of the planning file.The planning run and the scope of the planning run (which materials are planned in which planning run) are controlled by the planning file.
The planning file contains a list of all materials relevant to the planning run. As soon as a material master record is created with MRP data and a valid MRP type, this material is then automatically included in the planning file.
First you have to define the MRP area and Create MRP views for the Materials.Then automaticlly materials entered in Planning file.
If a material was created before the planning run was activated for a plant, you must generate an entry in the planning file for all materials in this plant that are to be included in the planning run.
This function can only be carried out in background mode.
Procedure
1.Starting from the MRP menu choose Planning ® Planning file entry ® Set up in background.
The initial screen for the setting up of planning file entries appears.
2.You can use a selection variant to plan the creation of planning file entries at a later date, or you can start the process immediately.
3.Once you have started the process, the system checks each material in this plant to see whether it is relevant for MRP. If a material fulfills the appropriate prerequisites, it is included in the planning file and either the net change planning indicator or the net change planning horizon indicator is set.

If we activate MRP Areas what are the implications on other plants.

Q:- If we activate MRP Areas what are the implications on other plants.
My Business is having many plants with different business
eg :- One Plant (1000)MRP is currently being executed at Project Level MD51
Second Plant (2000) MRP is currently being executed at Plant Level ,
Third Plant (3000) is currently being executed at materail levels only (MD02/MD03)
Issue :-
for our new scenario we need to execute MRP at MRP Area only -- Storage location MRP run
So we would have to activate MRP @ MRP area level , but doing so
You convert the existing planning file entries at plant level to planning file entries at MRP area level.
To convert the planning file entries, you use the report that you trigger in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Convert planning file entries for MRP areas.The system creates a new planning file and MRP areas for the existing plants. These MRP areas, however, do not affect how material requirements are planned. The number of the plant MRP area is identical to the plant number and therefore has four digits.
Preparing for Material Requirements Planning with MRP Areas - Special Planning Processes - SAP Library
Can any one provide , what are the drawbacks , if activated at MRP Areas are activated , since it is activated at client level ,
Will it impact my current MRP execution process for other Plants ??( other plants MRP is being executed at Plant MRP /Project MRP / etc,,
Please Reply /Share your comments urgently

Tallha

Hello Tallha
The only visible impact is that you will have an extra field on MD04 and another MRP transactions.
If you simply activate MRP areas but don't create MRP areas for the materials, your process will not change and you should be able to continue using MRP as you were using before.
There is a positive impact on the conversion of the planning file may improve the MRP general performance.

MRP AREA

Hi
I have created MRP AREA FOR MATERIAL with procurement type F.
Also production storage location and EP storage location is maintained in MRP Area.
Planning file entry is available for material and mrp area.
SLoc MRP indicator is 1.
But this material is getting planned in PLANT MRP area.
Am I missing any config

Hi,
Materials are planned in more that one area, according to where the requirements are. So, in your case, even if you have defined all these definitions, but you have requirements in the plant MRP area, you'll get planning there too.

Mario

Any Prerequisite for adding MRP Area?

Hi Gurus,
I need to add MRP area data to a large number of materials. I tried testing for some material . For some materials I am able to add the data. For other I am not able to add.
Is there any prerequisite for adding MRP area to a material?
Can some suggest any BAPI to add/ update MRP area for a material?
I am basically a ABAPer and don't have much Idea about MRP area. Please suggest any link where I can learn overview about MRP area.
Thanks in Advance,
KG

hi,
the prerequisities for MRP area are
1> ACTIVATE MRP AREA
2> DEFINE MRP AREAS.u will find the settings under the menu path:
SPRO > IMG > MATERIAL MANAGEMENT > CONSUMPTION BASED PLANNING > MASTER DATA > MRP AREAS
or u can find it under the menu path:
SPRO > IMG > PRODUCTION > MATERIAL REQUIREMENT PLANNING > MASTER DATA > MRP AREAS.

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,

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.

Aravind
