MD04 Transaction and MRP related queries

[Former Member]

Hello All,

i have some specific questions regarding MD04 and MRP Run

1. In MD04 for few raw material i am getting -ve available quantities , i am not getting why MRP didn"t run for the same before available qty become negative , we have a batch job schedule for MRP run .

what all the possibilites of not running the MRP ,

We don't have reorder level planning ! MRP type`is standard one PD .

2. For some material we are not able to create a planned order, settings in Material Master MRP view is fine as we have another material with same settings are working , i am running the MRP through MD41 Transaction code >

Forecasting is done through MD61/62 active indicator ticked >

what else could be the reason .

Secondly one silly question does MRP take into consideration available stock during run , i mean if i run the MRP for a material with Tcode MD41 , will MRP create Planned orders , even if enough stock is available >

Thanks for coming back in advance .

Thanks and regards

Look for the MRP list as well (MD05), not only the Stock/Requirements List (MD04).

You can see there the date and time of the last MRP run, and if there was a termination that did not allow the proper run.

There may be a number of reasons why a material was not included in the MRP run, like what type of run (e.g. regenerative or net change), etc.
