Hi all.
I am trying to make work one request from a user but I am not able to do it.
There is a field available in vendor master data (Delivery cycle=>LFM2-MRPPP) that appears at Purchasing data level, clicking on "Alternative data", so when you create a Purchasing data for a vendor at plant level. This seems to be the same field as the one that appears in material master (planning views). It is related to planning calendar and should be used for delivery dates.
My test was to fill both fields (material master and vendor master) but only takes into account the material master data one during MRP.
Do you know what is necessary to do in order to make the one in vendor master work??
Many thanks in advance and best regards.
What have you done to let MRP know about LFM2 view?
I have never used this field, even think I have read this is only available for a retail scenario.
But in any case you would need an info record with vendor subrange (refers to LFM2 table) and you would need a source list having only this vendor marked as MRP relevant.

Thanks for the answer, Jürgen.
I read in some other posts that this field was related to Retail too but they were a bit old, I am not sure if this situation has changed.
Anyway, replying to to your answer, the thing is that I can not have only one entry for that vendor in source list because in fact the purpose is, due to quotation between two vendors with this material, to deliver material in different days during the week depending on vendor. I thought to have a general delivery calendar in material master and then try to use for one of the vendors the delivery calendar in vendor master. In this way, info record at plant level is created (I am not sure if you referred to this when you say "info record with vendor subrange").
Can you tell me if this field can only be used for Retail or maybe there is something I missed?
Thanks again!!
I dont have this field in my screen, but some other fields e.g. purchasing group have the remark in the F1 field help, that they are only considered in you have retail system.
or only if the same field in material master is not filled.
I had recently a discussion in a migration mapping rule meeting regarding the purchasing group in vendor master. It is only used if the field is empty in material master, but in our system the purchasing group is mandatory in material master, hence the purchasing group from vendor master is never used.
I think this MRPPP field follows the same logic.
I see your point but, in fact, I made some testing removing the value of this field from material master data and leaving the one in vendor complete. When I launch MRP it doesn´t work. Apart from the fact that, if I remove the planning calendar field, I have to include a lot size not related to a calendar (PK lot size, for example, must have mandatory MRPPP filled). Probably then planning will not take into account any calendar.
When pressing F1 in vendor master field, it doesn´t say anything of retail...
Any other suggestion or guide to continue?
Thanks!!!!
Well, I finally opened an incident in OSS note and this is what SAP told me. I want to leave the message here, so maybe it can be helpful for people who are in the same situation as me:
Unfortunately, this functionality is not available for vendors on the
standard ECC system.
The field (LFM2-MRPPP) for use in vendor master record but it has no useat the moment in material requirements planning. This functionality is
only available in APO where a vendor is considered as a Location (like aplant in SAP ERP).
A planning calendar can unfortunately be only created at plant level,
not at the level of a vendor.This has been asked also by other customersbut it is not developed yet.
