min/max MRP and double star planned order

[Former Member]

Hi,

What does setting up materials for min/max mean ? Is it just some concept r does it involve some specific settings in the material master ? I know there are minimum and maximum lot sizing procedures available. Are these to be taken into account to set materials up for min/max ?

What does a planned order with two stars in the MD04 screen mean?

Thanks

Dear,

Single *** means order is Firmed and **** means Capacity planning has been done for the planned order.

There is "storage location" MRP with min max levels.

Have a look at the fields on the MRP screens in the material master and you will see the settings you can choose from.

There should be no need for any config as long as your basic MRP config is there.

The normal MRP run will then try to maintain the correct stock level in that storage location and you use the special procurement keys on the material master to determine where the stock should come from to replenish that storage location.

Go to TcodeOMIA here you will find min max for your plant.

Hi GS,

I think you are talking about Minimum and Maximum Lot sizes.

This fields are available in MRP2 view of Material Master.

you can restrict the Plan Order qty or PR qty with help of this two Fields.

For example If you have set minimum Lot size as 100 Nos and 500 Nos as Maximum Lot size.

And if you have to produce 1650 Nos then during MRP system will Generate 3 Plan Order or PR of 500 Nos and 1 Plan Order of 150 Nos instead of 1 single Plan Order of 650 Nos.

Now What (**) on Plan Orders means Plan order is firmed and Capacity Leveling is also performed.
