you have maintained in the material master. The storage location in the<br />

material master<br />

must be a storage location for the MRP area, for which you have created<br />

an MRP area segment<br />

in the material master. You can therefore ensure that material<br />

requirements planning will<br />

be carried out for the correct MRP area<br />

The MRP area represents an organizational unit for which material<br />

requirements planning is<br />

carried out independently.<br />

Basically, there are three types of MRP area:<br />

Plant MRP Area<br />

The plant MRP area initially contains the plant together with all its<br />

storage locations and<br />

stock with subcontractors.<br />

When you have defined MRP areas for storage locations and for<br />

subcontractors and you have<br />

assigned the materials, the plant MRP area is reduced by exactly this<br />

number of subcontractors<br />

and storage locations. This is because they are now to be planned<br />

separately.<br />

MRP Areas for Storage Locations<br />

You can define an MRP area that consists of a particular storage<br />

location, by creating an MRP<br />

area and assigning the storage location to it. Material requirements<br />

for this storage location<br />

are then planned separately from the rest of the plant.<br />

You can also group several storage locations into one MRP area, by<br />

creating an MRP area and<br />

assigning the storage locations to it. These storage locations are then<br />

planned together.<br />

A storage location of a plant may be assigned to only one MRP area.<br />

MRP Areas for Subcontractors<br />

You can also define an MRP area for each subcontractor.<br />

A subcontractor may be assigned to only one MRP area.<br />

An MRP area of the subcontractor type may also only contain one<br />

subcontractor.<br />

MRP areas of the storage location or subcontractor type are only<br />

suitable for:<br />

1. components that are planned and produced for stock<br />

2. finished products that are planned and produced for stock.
