MB21 mov.type 311 and planorders

Hi Gurus

I hope one of you Guys / girls can help me or point me in the right direction

In MB21 Mov.type 311 we create reservations on materials that are normally MTO Stock. This Means that the reservation will create a plan order when the MRP is run onthose materials. This is all ok, but if we have 2 - 3 reservations on the same material SAP standard is to create one plan order for the number og materials missing in order to cover the 3 reservations.

In the picking process one employee will pick the entire reservation, including the MTO which is basically a BOM for picking ( screws, botls, bearings etc etc )

The reason we use mov.type 311 is the each reservation are to be moved to another storage location that is physical Places elsewhere, but not defined as a warehouse.

Is it at all possible til have the MRP create a planorder for each reservation ?

Kind regards

Hello Jens

If the reservations have all the same date, MRP will always create a single replenishment proposal, even if you are using lot sizing procedure EX.

See question 6 of the FAQ note 550568:

6.  Question:

     There are several requirements on one day. Is it possible that the

     MRP creates a separate procurement proposal for every requirement?

     Answer:

     Same as for the daily lot size with a number of periods = 1 (lot

     size TB), requirements of one day are also grouped into one

     procurement proposal for the lot-for-lot order quantity (lot size

     EX) (see documentation for the lot-for-lot order quantity). Separate

     procurement proposals can be achieved only if you work with

     make-to-order production. Here, the requirements are managed in

     separate planning segments of the stock/requirements list.

Hi Caetano

I can see the logic in that, and thank you for finding the note for me.

It would be great if i could atleast get 1 requrement  for each storage location, but the plan order is only doing what it is surposed to do ..

I will try to figure out another way to handle these if at all possible.

Hi Jens

If you have requirements from different storage locations, you can use a setting called "storage location planned separately". You can find that on tab MRP4 of material master if you enter using the plant and the storage location.

That way, requirements from different storage locations will be planned separately and different procurement proposals will be created for each one.

Hi Caetano

It's almost what I need, just not completely enough to fix the issues we are facing.

Did find something about MRP Area planning, have you ever worked with that setup ?

Hi Jens

Yes, I have already worked with MRP areas.

You can have a separated MRP area for each storage location or vendor.

In this case, if the requirements are pointing to different storage locations, they will be planned under different MRP areas and they will also be separately.
