MRP

[Former Member]

Hi,

when MRP runs I noted that in different SAP systems sometimes are created PRs, sometimes planned orders and sometimes production orders.

Why there is not the same approach ? What is the difference between the above configurations? And how customize the SAP systems to define that when MRP run will be created a PR or a planned order or a production order ?

Yours truly

Hi,

1. MRP creates procurement proposals such as PldOrd, PurReq, etc but never creates production orders (PrdOrd), purchase order (PO), etc.

2. In the material master, MRP view 2 you can maintain 'F; 'X', 'E' procurment types (and there are special procurement types e.g. for subcontracting, plant-to-plant transfers, etc). This (or these, considering the special procurement as well) is one factor MRP considers.

3. When you execute the planning run (MD01 / MD02 / MD03), you can influence trough 'Creation indicator' wether MRP should create PldOrd or PurReq for external procurment. Please check:

4. It is important to know the source determination process as well:

(e.g. in case of procurement type 'X' system should decide which source to use...source list, QA, etc play role in it...)

hi,

For production order we define the Procurement type in MMR as internal procurement...So the MRP will generate the production order....

For planned order, also firstly you decide whether you wht it for internal or external procurement, and there itself you'll find options for the generation of both the internal doc's....pls check it in MMR...

For PR, you just specify as external procurement, and in the source list define it MRP indicator for PR but not for Schedule agreement, if you choose here for schedule lines, then system also generates the Schedule lines directly....

Check the settings in MMR and source list.....

Hope it helps...

Hi,

First of all MRP results are;

1. Planned Orders; 2. Purchase Requisitions; 3. Exception Messages ( + Not Production Orders+ )

And creation of Planned Orders & Purchase Requisitions depend upon the "Procurement Type" (External, In-house or Both) maintained in "MRP 2" view of Material Master.

If it is In-house or Both then Planned Orders and if it is External then Purchase Requisitions.
