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.
