Q: We have a lot size procedure here which is creating more order proposals. How<br />
do you set the limit value for maximum number of MRP order proposals<br />
per date in IMG?<br />
A: Under customization, try materials management->consumption<br />
based planning->maintain all plants<br />
Q: What is the difference between "planned consumption" and<br />
"Unplanned consumption"? Can safety stock calculation be done on<br />
either of these?<br />
A: While customizing movement types (OMJJ) it is defined as to which<br />
set of consumption values gets posted during the material movement.<br />
For some it may always be the total consumption and for some it is<br />
always the unplanned one and for some it is dependent on whether the<br />
issues were done with reference to a reservation ie., a planned<br />
consumption. The way these consumption values are taken into<br />
account in MRP is defined in the customizing of MRP types.<br />
For Reorder point planning (VM) the total consumption is used to<br />
calculate the safety stock and the reorder point.<br />
For Forecast based planning (VV) the total consumption is used to build<br />
the forecast which will be used to compile the order proposals.<br />
For Deterministic MRP (PD) the unplanned consumption is used to<br />
calculate the forecast which in turn is added to the actual demand.<br />
Q: We want the system to run a single level MRP automatically on receipt of sales order.<br />
How to configure triggering event based MRP?<br />
A: This can only be run if material master has planning strategy 41 (made-to-order) in the<br />
MRP2 view. We need to run for other MRP types. We have to create a user exit in the<br />
sales order processing (VA01) to start MRP based on data from our sales transaction.<br />
Q: We have an assembly 'A' using a subassembly 'B'. 'B' in turn uses raw material 'C'.<br />
Item 'A' is an MPS and is duly marked in Material Master. Item 'B' and 'C' are marked as<br />
'PD'. When demand for 'A' is entered and MPS is run , upto which level the requirements<br />
are taken care of?<br />
A: MRP can be run depending on your requirement. For example:<br />
1. Single Item / Single Level from MPS - Transaction Code MD42 - Only the top<br />
MPS item ( 'A' in this case) is planned and dependent requirements will be passed<br />
to MRP item ( 'B' ) . Run MRP, Transaction MD02 on 'B' to plan it and all MRP<br />
items below .<br />
2. Single Item / Multi Level from MPS - Transaction Code MD41 - All levels are<br />
planned - A , B & C<br />
3. Total <strong>Planning</strong> from MPS online or background - Transaction Code MD40 or<br />
