Strategy 50

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have some questions regarding strategy 50.

Requirements and the sales order for a material FERT5 are created as per the following example.

My MD04 screen

I am yet to convert the planned order created for the corresponding sales order. I am yet to procure the components.

In my case, I don’t see the MRP element Cstock, why?

I had run MD02 after creating sales order and the sales order consumes non-convertible planned orders and the corresponding planned independent requirements. This was expected to happen.

As expected, even the corresponding requirement of raw materials/semi-finished goods in the next level gets reduced. In this test scenario, it doesn't make sense as I am yet to procure the raw materials. In real life scenario, I am expected to maintain a stock of the components before running the MRP (post sales order creation), right?

For FERT5, I used 0001 (make to order) instead of NORM (standard item) in sales org.2 view. Is it OK?

Do I have to maintain a value in Individual/coll. in MRP4?

Thank you very much for your time.

Hello

You can control the behavior of the components using the field individual/collective stock of the material master.

If you want to have the components procured in advance, you must set the value 2 - collective requirements. Otherwise, if the fiels is empty or if the value 1 is set, the component will behave just like the finished material.

Hi Sethuraman,

With Strategy 50 PIR can be maintained for the FERT material and production process will be order based. ie; all the production odrers created will carry the account assignment category of sales order.

Ind/coll indicator to be maintained 2 for all the raw materials and dependent semi-finished items.

For FERT maintain NORM.

Based on the PIR maintained upon MRP run at plant level non convertable planned gets generated for FERT and for its semi-finished materials. But for Raw materials purchase requsitions are generated and procurement cycle starts.

Upon creating sales order for FERT material PIR gets reduced in MD04 screen but actual PIR in MD62 will not reduce. This will be reduced after delivery is completed. Once MRP is run against MD50 non convertable planned orders gets to convertable planned orders for the sales oder quantity and further process like converting planned orders to production orders etc will follow.

Refer the below post for more details.

Thanks & Regards,
