Warehouse selection in MRP

Customers using MRP wizard of SBO 2005A, have requested the ability to show MRP requirements by warehouse.
Currently at step 3 you can select the required warehouses, but the MRP wizard calculates the requirements for ALL warehouses, not just those warehouses defined at step 3.
It is my understanding that this is a missing functionality, and is being considered for inclusion in SBO V2007A but as yet has not been included.
Can someone advise if and when it will be inlcuded in either 2005A or 2007A, and if there is a workaround to this problem.
Kind regards
Nicola

Hello, colleagues!
We have a big challenge with MRP when the customer uses more than 1 warehouse.
He can't use MRP in this case and there is only one way - to look for heavy add-on.
If the customer has more than 1 warehouse in different locations, he can not use MRP for planning purchase orders, because B1 calculates the whole requirements. There are no filters for sales orders, minimum stock quantity, purchase and production orders.
Does it mean that SBO is a solution only for very small companies who has only 1 warehouse?
But marketing docs from SAP say: this is for small and midsize; even companies with few branches can use SBO...
I don't understand SBO positioning in this case.
Could anybody from SBO development team provide information about:
1) is SAP planning to make MRP working properly with several warehouses? This is strong business demand for lots of SBO customers;
2) why do you positioning SBO for wholesales if it does not support more than 1 warehouses? You offer MRP for booth only?
Thanks,
Alexey

Need to include Warehouse stock into MRP

Hi Gurus,
We have an issue to include warehouse stock into MRP.
This is because We have stock in warehouse to cover the demand but the MRP creates line against the VSF.
Please help me to resolve this.
Is there any customizing chnages there for including the warehouse stock.
Thanks in advance.
Naveen.

Dear Naveen,
1) Normally we call un-restricted use stock as ware house stock.
2) you can check the same in MMBE
3) this stock is default considered by MRP in Net Req Calculation & Create Procurement Praposals
4) Coming to Block stock, if u want MRP to consider this stock then
5) Then Just Mark as Tick for Blocked stock in OPPQ & save
6) Then Run MRP system Consider block stock also in Net Req Calculation

Produciton version selection in MRP

Dear all,
we have prepared alt bom scenario for MTS with two prod versions.
I am facing one problem of production version selection while MRP.
In MTS scenario, system is picking the prod version no. 1 by default while creating order.
1. How we can configure/change the selection of Prod version while MRP?
2. I need to select the prod version on my choice in MTS / MRP(depends on materail availability)?
Thanks,
Jeevan

Hi,
Production Version in Material Master in tab page "MRP 04". If BOM or Routing changes then PV also change. In Selection method two options are available related to PV- Selection by order quant. 1 Selection by explosion date 2 Selection by production version 3 Selection only by production version 1)With Selection by order quantity, the system chooses the alternative BOM into whose lot size range the order quantity falls. The lot size range and area of validity of the BOM apply. 2)With Selection by explosion date, the system chooses the alternative BOM into whose area of validity the date falls according to the setting BOM via dates. 3)With Selection by production version, the system chooses the alternative BOM defined in the valid production version. The lot size range and area of validity of the production version apply. 4) With Selection only by production version, the system chooses the alternative BOM defined in the valid production version. The lot size range and area of validity of the production version apply.
1. How we can configure/change the selection of Prod version while MRP?
=>OPL8 ->Production Version->1 Manual selection of production version
In MD61 - You can set in User Parameter-Requirements type - LSF Make-to-stock production
2. I need to select the prod version on my choice in MTS / MRP(depends on material availability)?
=>In MD61 - You can set in User Parameter-Requirements type - LSF Make-to-stock production
After this u can change PV while converting Plan order to production order.

Ashish

BOM selection during MRP running

Hi,
   I have a question about BOM selection during MRP running...
   I have three production version and all of them are valid at the same time..I get a problem "no BOM data seletion" during MRP
running..I suspect it is due to that I have three production version and MRP didn't know take which one..Can anyone tell me
where can i config it or what's wrong with it in my situation?
   btw,BOM usage and stats are correct .so is the router data..since MRP is running well if i only have one PV..thanks..

Hi Monst,
Looking at the screenshots you uploaded, it seems that the validity of each of the production version is from 7.12.2011 to 1.12.2012.
Please check whether for Planned order no. 36659 alternative BOM no. 1 is getting selected (Since BOM selection ID is 2).
For planned order nos. 36660, 36661 and 36662, the start date is perhaps before 7.12.2011 and end date as we can see lies in the validity period of production version. Hence, neither of the alternatives of the BOM is getting selected.
For verifying the above logic, please make the BOM selection method as 3 (selection only by production version) and run the MRP. I think MRP will get terminated in this case since no BOM will be chosen for first planned order.
Just in case u need to select the BOM for planned orders, you can manually enter the production version no. in the planned order change mode.
Please tell if this helps and revert back.
Regards,
Chetan.

Warehouse selection

Hi All,
Is there any way for warehouse selection at the time of delivery for same product kept in more than one warehouse?
In brief, I have a product PR001 kept in two warehouse WH001 and WH002 . Now when I pass a delivery transaction I would like to pick it from any of the two warehouses (WH001 OR WH002).
Please let me know if its possible.

And the answer is :
Hello Ajit,
I believe Zal is very knowledgeable on the SBO product. But I would like to clarify a couple of things even through you might already know it.
On the Delivery document you can enable the columns In stock, Committed, Ordered from the Form settings windows. This will show the total quantity of In stock, Committed, Ordered for this Item in all warehouses.
If you hit CTRL+Tab on the Whse (Warehouse) column on the Delivery row, you will be able to see all the warehouses for the Item and their stock levels.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Suda
dear Ajit,
I am sure you could see the particular answer from Suda. it my side, it is quite weird. It seems different answer. That's why there is a city name reading in UK and US.
some people seems can't reading well although he/she passed kindergarten.

If you have more than one BOM (Alternative BOM) and all are meetings (i;e. BOM Lot Size , Bom Status, valid area and period of validity, priority for bom usage in define order of priority of Bom ), in the required settings then the first Alternative will be selected by defualt in the MRP planning run.
Hope clear to you.

Multiple warehouse selection

hi experts
is there any possibility to select multiple warehouse of a single item during any transaction.
thanks

Hi Krishna,
you may only select 1 warehouse per row of marketing document. If you need to draw items from more than 1 warehouse in the same marketing document, add as many rows with the item code as you need warehouses & then enter the quantity & the warehouse the items are to be drawn from.
All the best,
Kerstin

Component selection in MRP

Dear all,
We have material BOM & order BOM for same material. But at the time of MRP run order BOM should be selected even setting is also made in OPPQ but components are not getting planned in MRP.
Please suggest the solution.
Regards,
SAP CONS

Dear,
1. Check the material having valid date BOM, ie BOM should be available on planned order basic start.
2. Check the BOM usage
3. check the BOM status ( Active or inactive)
4. Check material assigned with any prod version.
5. In MRP4 view check the BOM selection method. Lot size means check the lot size in BOM header.
And MRP type should PD please check and come back.

2. my demand was MTS.
3. i already marked in MRP 4 Screen as selection method as 3.
Constrains
my BOM validity dates r same.

i am giving hints for this.
In Customization - BOM selection ID, Selection priority and BOM usage, Alternative selection of BOM in MRP.
i was tried to mantain this. still system picks the default as first production version.

Bom selection during mrp

Hi, in oppq we are specifying the bom sel id as 01, pls explain how to see this sel id in bom for any fert material? how to link those.

Hi,
When you say you have 2 BOM's, are you referring to alternative bom's or bom usages ?
If it is BOM usage, then OS31 for ID 01 decides which BOM usage has priorty depending on the application where it is being used.
If you referring to BOM alternatives, then check the validity dates, the lot sizes of the 2 bom's. If they are identical & there is no difference between them, system by default picks the first valid alternative. But if you want to have alternative 2 picked, then you can work with production versions where you define version 1 with BOM altt. 2 & prodn version 2 with bom alt. 1. Set selection method in MRP-4 view to 2.
System will then pick bom alt 2. Alternatively you can set the BOM status to 2 at header level for bom alt - 2 as suggested above.

Vivek

Document type selection for MRP generated Purchase Requisition

Hi,
when I run MRP ,for externlal procurement items system is creating Purchase Requisition with Document type NB.How to make system to take different Document type automatically with MRP.
Thanks and Regards
Raghavendra Pai

Dear,
Go to SPRO-Materials Management--Purchasing Purchase RequisitionDefine Document types
Copy the NB and create and New Document type
You can default the document type from the MRP group.
Customizing is done in OPPZ transaction.
Once you have entered the MRP group to your material master MRP view, then next MRP run will create the requistions using the document types maintained to the MRP group.
Please refer the OSS Notes- 46919 and this thread,
Purchase req doc type in MRP

Execute MRP for Sales Order with selected Warehouse

Hi Experts,
When we execute MRP Scenario which include Sales Order. Can MRP only include Sales Order by Warehouse?
For example:
1) We include existing stock for Warehouse-A in MRP Scenario.
2) We include Sales Order in MRP Scenario.
3) We have two Sales Order created, 1st SO is taking from Warehouse-A; 2nd SO is taking from Warehouse-B.
4) I notice that both Sales Order Qty will appear in MRP simulation.
Is there any place to configure to resolve this problem?
Thanks.
Regards,
Lay Chin

Hi Lay Chin,
By the current B1 design, MRP is only working on the item level. That means it consider all on hands in regardless of warehouses. It is not configurable to warehouse level.
Thanks,
Gordon

MRP Wizard - Source data selection

Currently the MRP Wizard Source Data selection does not allow the selection of a single (or selected) Sales Order (SO).
Enabling such, would allow easy MRP planning around a specific order(s) received. (For instance an order is received for a task that is actually a complete project. Buying (and Production Orders) is done dedicated for this project. (And even stored separatly, by project.)
All sorts of work arounds exist - creating Forecasts from the Sales Order etc.... - which by the way is not very elegantly supported by the objects in the SDK either, so in the end, the missing link is to select the MRP Wizard source by SO.
By extension.... A Sales Order can be easily moved to a Delivery Note, via a Pick List (i.e the item is available off the shelf)
However a Sales Order cannot equally be moved to a Delivery Note via a Production Order (i.e the item has to be made) either via MRP Wizard, or manually. An easy "Copy To" (Production Order) extension would facilitate this process greatly.
Where multiple Production Orders are generated (say via the MRP Wizard) all from (one) Sales Order, can the (current for information only) Sales Order field on teh Production Order also be updated when the Production Order was generated by the MRP Wizard (or SDK for that matter)?
Can this be considered?

Selecting prod.version before MRP run

hi all;
can any body know about-how the production version selecting before MRP run?
for example: I have a material.it has 2 production version. when I run the MRP, MRP reads first production version(prd vers-1). but I want to select other production version(prd vers-2). how can I make this selection?
Regards,
Sema

Hi,
If you want to select the perticular alternative BOM define it in production version.
Theree is option by which the PV is manually assiged
Goto MD62
Execute the report
Goto Schedule line tab page
Fallow the menu path
Setting Production version
Enter the Production version required
Save
So system will select the perticular alternative BOm which maintain in that production version.
