Folks,
Is there a corresponding field in APO product master for the MRP group field iwhich exists n the MRP1 tab of the material master in R3 ?
Thanks
Hi Yogi.
No, there is no standard field in the APO product master for MRP Group.
It would be possible however to use one of the free attribute fields (AT101 to AT105) to store the MRP group.
These are activated in them IMG:
APO->Master Data->Maintain Freely Definable Attributes.
You could use a CIF User Exit to populate this field from the MRP Group field in ECC.
Hope this helps, M

For MRP group there is not specific field in APO but all this field you maintain in MRP group you also maintian in Material master or Plant parameters.
Purpose of MRP group:
The MRP group is an organizational object used to assign a group of materials with special control parameters for the planning run. You can maintain MRP groups if plant control is not detailed enough for your purposes and you want to assign control parameters that deviate from the plant parameters to a certain group of materials. To do this, you create MRP groups with these special control parameters and then you assign these MRP groups to the appropriate material groups in the material master record (MRP 1 screen).
Same thing is achieved in APO by different profiles in Product master :
SNP2 tab:
SNP Demand Profile
SNP Supply Profile
SNP Deployment Profile
Demand tab:
Demand Profile
Check other tabs of Product master.
Some fields you can modify by user exit check SMOD for CIF userexit in APO and R/3 both .

The 2 Profiles mentioned earlier go into SNP2 View.
Also there is 'Demand Profile' in the Demand Tab for the Consumption Parameters and Strategy.
For moving them Automatically into APO the Product Master User Exit can be used by seeing the Values in R/3 and finding the closest Match in APO defined Demand Profile or SNP Supply/Demand Profiles.
This is usually not done. The Mass Maintenance of Product Master in APO makes APO Master data maintenance very easy, so I suggest you don't transfer and create Profiles one-time manually in APO for using & assigning to multiple Products. You can Categorize Products based on "SNP Planner" field for similar attributes.

Sorry I misinterprated the Question to be MRP Areas.
MRP Groups (which are a bunch of settings in R3 for MRP) are not transferred over to APO.
In APO in the Product Master (/sapapo/mat1) ... Please define the "SNP : Supply Profile" and "SNP : Demand Profile" for those settings.

Hi,
APO Location Master can be of Type MRP Area ... Location Type 1007. Transaction - /sapapo/loc3.
Try CIFFING the MRP Areas from R/3 across to APO.
Hope this is helpful.
