MRP in projects

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

We are doing projects. all our electrical items are stock items having mrp type VB and lotsize FX and mechanical items are having mrp type PD and lot size EX. Our BOM is having both mechanical and electrical items. So while transferring the material ,

1. what we have to select reservation for network, wbs or from plant stock.

2.all our plantstock , firmed reciepts to be considered.

3.what strategy group i have to select for the BOM 1st level item

4. what transaction code to be used for MRP

Please suggest in detail....

Dear,

Good solution given by our expert,

u2022If you select individual requirement then system will not consider available stock and generate Proposals for every single requirements. In MRP 4 view

Also you will find PR and Plan order with account assignment of Sales order (in case of MD50)

u2022If you select collective requirement then system will not generate planing proposals through MD50.In that case you have to go for individual MRP (MD02 / MD03 / MD41 / MD42).

1) Reservation for network or WBS - depends on the setting in mat master (MRP4 view-indi/collective indicator)

2) If u want to consider all firm receipt and plant stock then u have to select collective indicator in MRP4 for those materials

3) Strategy grp- keep blank

4) MD51 and/or MD02

HI,

This material will also go to Sub contracting. In subcontracting through projects, material will be consumed only ,if the collective indicator kept blank.So please suggest, how for these materials , system will consider plant stock and firmed receipts...

Hi

I will explain with an example

A-B-C is the bom structure

C is raw mat and collective or blank

B is F-30 indicator for subcontracting and individual,

A is also individual

Now MRP will create a WBS specific plan order for A, for B. For C a PR will be created if stock is not sufficient otherwise no PR.

B Plan order is converted to PR then Subcontract PO. In PO u will find C as the reqmt in BOM explosion.

Send C with 541 movement to vendor against the PO.

U can trace through ME2O.

Receive B against PO, C will automatically get consumed. Check the stock of B in MMBE/MB52 it will with WBS element.

Hope it is clear.
