Role of MRP Type

[Former Member]

Hi,

Please let me know the role of MRP Type in transferring the material from R/3 to APO.

Thanks,

Prabhat

MRP Type can be used just as a selection condition while creating Integration Models in R/3 for transferring data to APO.

However SAP standard suggests using X0 (No Planning in R/3) MRP Type for products to be planned in APO only. However its perfectly possible to send over other MRP Type (say P1) to APO and plan. However MRP Run in R.3 will also plan for the material and say create STRs. In that case which STRs to consider - those generated in R/3 or those created in APO becomes the issue.

Hope this helps.

Hi Prabhat,

MRP Type represents how material requirements planning will be

carried out in a typical ERP system.

Depending upon different values that we specify for MRP type,

planning will be carried out for that location product.

If we have APO system integrated to R/3, then you need to choose

XO as MRP type if you need that product to be planned in APO.

If you want to plan the material at R/3 level, choose your value as

PD

If you do not want to do MRP at all, but if you need your requirements

of that location product to be transferred, then choose the value

as ND

Hi Prabhat,

MRP type is an important fiels which determines where and how the replenishment planning for the product will be done.

For APO planning of material, it needs to be X0 for transfer to APO
