MRP area in SAP APO

[Former Member]

Hi APO Experts,

I have used MRP area with ECC. The usage of MRP area allows you to plan your products in differet way. ECC allows you to have seperate MRP views , so that you can maintain the lot size specific to

MRP area or storage location specific to MRParea.

If MRP area is used with SAPAPO , it allow me to maintain which set of fields ( mat1) or views differently for that MRP area.

In short, let me know which APO material master screens or fields can be maintained seperately for MRP area.

Can I maintain the planning procedure different for a MRP area?

Waiting for answers from Experts.

Regards,

Dear Ravi,

you will get a seperate location product for your material. MRP areas in apo are represented by a seperate location (type 1007 = storage location mrp area). You can transfer your ecc mrp areas via cif (CFM1). The master data you maintain in mrp section of the material master in R/3 will be trasfered to that location product. Furthermore you can maintain it manually in apo MAT1 (location = name of your mrp area). That technique provides you the possibility to maintain different parameters for the plant and the mrp area.

Kind regards,

Christian
