Hi Rahul,

In the scope of planning we define the organizational units and their sequence to be planned during MRP run. It is defined in customization. These organizational units can be Plants or MRP areas.

We have to enter the key for the planning run in the initial screen of the total planning run MD01. The total planning run then carries out MRP for the plants or MRP areas defined in the scope of planning.

You can enter as many plants or MRP areas as you like in the scope of planning. You can also only enter one MRP area. MRP is then only carried out for one MRP area.

If you have activated MRP for MRP areas, when you enter a plant, this includes all MRP areas of this plant.

Hello Rahul,

The scope of planning is used to control whether the total planning run is executed on a multi-plant level

several plants

one MRP area

several MRP areas

a combination of plants and MRP areas.

Here the planning will cover all the material which is relevant for planning in all the above given areas.

Hope it helps.

Dear Rahul,

Well scope of planning is used to plan as per as your requirements, it may be a group of plant,MRP areas,.

In Scope of planning (OM0E) you can define the set of plants and MRP ares for which you want to run total planning,MD01.

Also use transaction "OM0E" to define scope of planning for individual MRP areas and based on this scope of planning you can create variants which can be scheduled using MDBT to run in back ground.

Hi,

Usuallly when you run MRP,you will maintiain charecteristics which guides the system what to consider during planning run. It may be a material, plant, WBS element etc.

Similaraly scope of planning is one such charecteristics which defines what plants and/or MRP areas should be considered during planning run. Also it defines in what sequence they should be considered during planning.

Eg: plant 1000 should be planned first then plant 2000 then 3000 and so on.

In customizing (OM0E) you define the sequence of plants and MRP areas, durin planning these objects are planned according to the order they appear.
