Hi Sham

MRP run is not possible in case of pipeline material

Material from the pipeline is always available, and can be taken from the pipeline in any quantity at any time. You can enter a pipeline withdrawal with reference to a purchase order or a cost center.

Pipeline material is material that flows directly into the production process from a pipe (for example, oil) or another kind of conduit (for example, electricity).

Reward if usefull

Hi Sham

U might be issuing directly through MIGO

Like choose ‘Goods issue - other’

Movement type: 201

Special stock indicator: P ( For pipe line )

Give material code,Qty,plant etc. and Post it

Material document will be generated..also we can check accounting document

Then Run trnx MRKO(Consignment and Pipeline Settlement )

which is as ggod as IV which will creat liability

I hope this will clear ur doubt

Hi

I dont think it is possible, Pipe line material should be available as and when required. I am expecting a better solution from other experts.

Hi Ravi

MRP cant be run for Pipeline materials.

they are readily available materials in Pipeline & there's no need for a MRP run.

as & when u need the material, u start consuming it from the pipeline ( e.g.. oil. water , electricity) .

The Pipeline process would be as follows:

1. Create a Material with material type " <u>PIPE"</u>

2. Create a Purchasing Info record for the Pipeline material ( Pipeline InfoRecord only against the Std Pur Org)

3. Start consuming the material i,.e., issue the material under MType 201 P

4. Create Consignment & Pipeline Settlement MRKO & settle the payment amount for the consumed material.

Hope this is useful
