Hi,

MRP groups are used when the plant division for planning is not enough for the division of the different materials MRP requirements. You assign different groups according to the requirements to run MRP (different Settings). These settings will be taken in account when you run MRP for single item or total planning.

MRP controller is the person in charge of the MRP run for the materials. It is still a further division on your MRP. This is work load related. You can have one MRP controller for materials with different MRP groups.

On your MRP group, you will define the parameters for the MRP run. These parameters are calculated in accordance with the settings on your material master MRP views.

Available stock =

Plant stock - safety stock +

receipts of (purchasing orders + purchasing agreements + production orders) - required quantity.

This means that all the requirements are calculated in the bases of your material master settings and your MRP group settings.

To know more details on the group you can chek the tcode oppr.

hi

The MRP group is an organizational object that can be used to allocate special control parameters for planning to a group of materials. You can maintain MRP groups if planning control per plant is not precise enough for your requirements and you want to allocate certain material groups different control parameters from the plant parameters. For this purpose, MRP groups are defined with these specific control parameters and are assigned to the material in the material master record (MRP 1 screen).

For example, the following control parameters can be set for the total planning run:

the creation indicator for the planning run (creation of purchase requisitions, MRP lists, and so on)

the planning horizon

the consumption mode

The following is valid for total planning and single-item planning:

for all materials without an MRP group, the system uses the plant parameters, or the entries in the initial screen of the planning run

for all materials with an MRP group, the system uses the parameters recorded in the MRP group

Hi,

You define the area of validity for a grouping WBS element by assigning the MRP groups, for which the grouping WBS element is to be used, to the grouping WBS element.
