Make to order scenario

[Former Member]

Dear all,

We are having a make to order scenario, but when we run the MRP the system creates a requirement for few particular material types only.

The table MARC and MARA for all materials including the MRP data is getting updated in table.

Request to kindly suggest if we have any particular settings for material type to be included in MRP.

regards,

mahesh.

Hi Mahesh,

I guess you are using MD50 - MRP for Sales order.

If you want to plan end to end or up to last level than following is the prerequisite.

- For Header Material (Fert) material in MRP 4 view of Material Master MRP for Dependent Requirement should be Maintain as Planned and same thing will be applicable if there are some sub assemblies are there (HALB)

- For all the BOM components Individual / Collective requirements is maintain as Individual or Individual / Collective both (not Collective)in MRP 4 view of Material master.

But problem is that it will create all the planing proposals with account assignment of Sales order.Means Plan order and Purchase requisition all contains sales order no. in account assignment field.

Thanks Dhaval,

The two settings as per your suggestion are in place for materials in the BOM.

And remark made at the end just wish to clarify that you trying to say that even if we have raw material stock, the MRP for sales order will always result generation a purchase requisition.

mahesh.

Hi Mahesh,

Yes.

This is the Problem with Sales Order planing.It will create PR even though stock is there.

So if you don't want to do this then Don't set that Individual requirement in MRP 4 view for BOM components(Set collective)

First run MRP for Sales order with MD50.It will create planing for only Header Material then again run MRP for the same Header material with MD02 or MD41.

hi,

> As per my view there is no external setting for Material type to MRP....But there is a setting via Material Group....For this material grp you can use Exclude indicator to whether you include or exclude this material group for MRP for making of PO's...

Hope it helps..

Hi,

The main thing to considered regarding MM point of view is the strategy type in MRP 3 view, the MRP type and the level of planning executed (MD03 or MD02).

Also the views maintaained ( Sales, MRP, Purchasing and Accounting)...

HI,

When selecting the material type be particulat about the make to order scenario type while entering the data in the MRP views. I hope this has to be entered in the MRP2/3 views of the material master.

You have to select the MRP views for the concerned material type when creating the MMR.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Prasanna Kulkarni and Srinivasan KR ,

We have maintained the MRP views for the required material types and made sure that the required material are also included in BOM.

But other than that do we require any settings.

With warm regards,

Confirm whether you have assigned MRP group to all material types.

Thanks Kannan Shivaraman ,

We have not maintained MRP group. Would be grateful if you could let us know how we can use MRP group.

HI

MRP group if a mandatory field then only needs to be entered.

If you have set it as mandatory the enter it as following

000- external procurement allowed

001- Inhouse production without independant requirements

002- Inhouse production with planned Independant reqyuirements

But suggest to set it as 000 as ext proc. is alowed.

Hope it clarifies

Thanks Prasanna Kulkarni ,

But we are not using MRP group.

But we are having one condition, we want to maintain stock at lower level that is for raw materials as the lead time is more since most of raw material is imported. So we have maintained as VB for raw materials and PD for finished and semi-finished products can this have any impact on the way we run MRP.

Request to kindly do let us know if we can achive such a scenario.

mahesh.

Hi,

This definitely has an impact as the raw material which you did maintain in the BOM of a inhouse produced material will not be planned but,you can post GI against the production order...

Hi

To run MRP for dependent and independent, it is must to maintain the MRP Views in material Master then only it will consider for MRP Run. Kindly check the materials present in the BOM are all maintained for this view.
