• A separate run occurs for the MPS items; they are not included in the
MRP run.
• Planning time fence (number of days starting from current date) is useful
in case of MPS scenario where one can save the procurement proposals
(planned orders) from undergoing any change since the last MRP run.
MRP parameters are required for MRP run in terms of considering the
requirements (PIR) in planning horizon, scheduling parameters and about the
usage of BOM and routing data.
1. Processing Key
2. Planning Mode
3. Scheduling
1. Basic Scheduling: MRP calculates only basic dates for the orders
and in house production time for the material master is used.
2. Lead Time Scheduling: The production dates are determined by
the lead time scheduling for planned orders. The routings are read
to schedule and calculate the capacity requirements on work
centers.
How to run MRP for all Products
Step 1) From SAP easy access screen, open transaction MD01, we will run
MRP at Plant level.
1. Enter your manufacturing Plant for which you want to take MRP run.
3. Input “1” in Create Purchase req. Which means for externally procured
materials, MRP will generate purchase requisitions instead of planned
orders.
4. Enter “3” for schedule lines which means MRP will generate schedule
lines for raw materials having scheduling agreement.
5. Enter “1” in MRP List and system will create MRP list similar to stock
/requirement list for later analysis of previous MRP run.
6. Enter Planning mode “3” as we will delete and recreate all planning data
for all materials.
7. Enter Scheduling indicator “2” which means MRP will do lead time
scheduling and consider routing times to calculate planned order dates.
After filling in all the fields, click to go to the next screen.
The system asks you nicely to re-check your input parameter because the MRP
run is going to reschedule and overwrite all existing data. Are you sure??? If
so, press enter.
Are you really, really sure that you want to continue??? If so, then again press
enter.
Step 2) System will take some time to calculate the material requirement.
1. Input the material code for which you want to run MRP.
2. Enter your manufacturing Plant code for which you want to take MRP run.
4. Input “1” in Create Purchase req which means for externally procured
materials, MRP will generate purchase requisitions instead of planned
orders.
5. Enter “3” for schedule lines which means MRP will generate schedule
lines for raw materials having scheduling agreement.
6. Enter “1” in MRP List and system will create MRP list similar to stock
/requirement list for later analysis of previous MRP run.
7. Enter Planning mode “3” as we will delete and recreate all planning data
for all materials.
8. Enter Scheduling indicator “2” which means MRP will do lead time
scheduling and consider routing times to calculate planned order dates.
After filling in all the fields, click to go to the next screen.
The system asks you nicely to re-check your input parameter because the MRP
run is going to reschedule and overwrite all existing data. Are you sure??? If
so, press enter.
Are you 100% sure that you really want to continue??? If so, then again press
enter.
Step 2) System will take some time to calculate the material requirement.
1. After the calculation is done, a report will appear. Here, you can see how
many materials were planned.
1. Input the material for which you want to run MPS. Here we have taken ID
“13967476”.
2. Enter your manufacturing Plant “INA2” for which you want to take MPS
run.
4. Input “1” in Create Purchase req. Which means for externally procured
materials, MPS will generate purchase requisitions instead of planned
orders.
5. Enter “3” for schedule lines which means MPS will generate schedule
lines for raw materials having scheduling agreement.
6. Enter “1” in MRP List and system will create MRP list similar to stock
/requirement list for later analysis of previous MPS run.
7. Enter Planning mode “3” as we will delete and recreate all planning data
for all materials.
8. Enter Scheduling indicator “2” which means MRP will do lead time
scheduling and consider routing times to calculate planned order dates.
Click to next screen after filling all the fields, the system will show message
, click again, if everything is O.K.
Step 2) In this step, we are going to generate the interactive planning data by
which simultaneously you can see the planning results.
1. Press “Planning” button which will generate planned orders for the
shortage quantity.
Step 2) After entering information in all the fields, click to go to the next
screen, and Stock/requirement list displayed.
Troubleshooting
• There might be the case wherein material master record does not exist.
For this, you need to create the material master for the material before
running MPS/MRP.
• Ensure BOM and routing data is in place before running MRP to generate
procurement proposals based on requirements at all BOM levels
otherwise, Planned orders would be generated without BOM and hence
would create issues in further consumption process.
