Question about planning material

[Former Member]

Is it possible in SAP to have MRP use the planning material field in the material master (MPGD-PRGRP) do the following function or if not is there an SAP solution to my issue:

Customer wants to use part ABC in BOM's, and also stock this material in inventory. However, the customer gets this material from another plant in their SAP system via a stock transport order but wants MRP to place the requirement on the supplying plant as part PABC which is the part in the supplying plant. The vision would be for the supplying plant to ship PABC and once it is received a 309 movement type would be done to convert the part back to ABC.

Any thoughts on this?

Hi,

It will be better if you use Special procurement key as 40 in MRP 2 view of the Material PABC in the Receiving Plant. Also Material PABC will be maintained for both the Plants (Supplying & Receiving both)

Then do MRP Run in Receiving Plant for Material PABC, as a result of this it will generate a Stock Transport PR in the Receiving Plant and then proceed with the STO Process and receive material in Receiving Plant. Then do transfer posting using movement type 309.
