MRP run using Re-order Point planning

Steps

1. Create material (or change existing)

2. View current stock on hand

3. Run MRP for the material

4. Evaluate MRP run (View results of MRP run)

Step 1 -- Create / change material

Transaction MM01 (create material) or MM02 (change material) if material exist

The key MRP parameters are the MRP Type and Lot Size.

MRP Type - Defines when the rule used to determine WHEN the PR or Planned Order will be be
created.

Lot size - Determine calculation to be used to determine the QUANTITY in the PR or Planned
Order

I will use standard SAP MRP type = V1 and Lot size = HB

For V1 (Manual reord.point w. ext.reqs) a re-order point must be specified, make ROP = 70.

For HB (Replenish to maximum stock level) a maximum level must be spesified, make Max value
= 100.

Step 2 -- View current stock on hand.

For this you can use Stock Requirement List (MD04)

Make sure that your ROP is higher than your current stock on hand, otherwise MRP will not
create any documents. In this case Stock on hand (10) < ROP (70), so MRP will suggest you
purchase stock.

Step 3 -- Lets Run MRP.

Do a single item run. Use transaction MD02 (Single Item, Multi Level MRP run). The Single
Item means for one material only. Multi Level refer to all levels of Bill of Material (BOM). This is
not relevant in our example.
Step 4 -- Lets evaluate results of MRP run.

Use Stock Requirement List again (transaction MD04)

You should now have a Purchase Requisition or Planned Order for a quantity to take stock up to
maximum level (as was specified in material master).

Configuration related to MRP
