Sotck in hand vs stock required for multiple mateirals -not MD04

[Former Member]

Hi SAP Guru's,

1.Currently on 4.6C and client requires a report to view similar to MD04 with capability of multiple materials and vendors and way of summarizing the future requirements and current receipts?

Right now with MD04 we can see for one material current and future Scheduling aggrements(SA) but does not have a report to tell how many are past due (other than going back to look at SA to view cummulative qty).

2.Curretly MRP PD is using SA aggrements for the semi-finished mateirals for planning and maintaining Safety stock and Goods receipt date in Material master to control the schedules? as system generated SA quantities vary with high differences - for example weekly requirement for material A is 480 parts from Vendor A and Vendor delivers on plaaning cycle Tue and Thurs and daily end of the day 65-85 Production orders are confirmed and backflush happens and then MRP runs but instead of 240 per schedule it is splitting 360 once and 220 etc i mean the quantities are very high fluctations and vendor cannot delivery these variation of quantities ? needs your input where the issue is happening and also client want to use Reorder point Qty instead which is not in use currently.

Appreciates everyone time and your help.

Thanks and Regards,

Siva Darbha

Hi,

1.

MD04 gives information on the planning situation.

Historical data (I mean the GRs) already had effect / had influenced the current situation e.g. by increasing the stock levels, or consuming requirements (I mean in case of MTS scenarion GR against PrdOrd consumes PIRs).

In terms of planning it doesn't make any sense to display those information, they don't play any role.

2.

If you want to level your production, you should use the suitable planning strategy, stock control.

E.g. planning strategy 40 operates with SOs but you can input PIRs as well to make your production smoother and avoid fluctuation. Your raw material requirements depend on the FG-requirements, so first take control over the FGs demand planning, after that maybe you will have higher chance to avoid fluctuation concerning raw materials.
