Problem in MRP planning with user exit key

[former_member184574]

Hi All,

I have a requirement like this..

we have 1000 FG in our plant.. out of which they want to plan only 250 FG's through MRP run collectively...when they do MRP run system should plan  only these 250 FG's and also down level materials ( components ) of these 250 FG's ..

So I proposed to use user exit key in MD01 screen by activating user exit M61X0001 and these 250 FG 's are identified with a separate MRP group in material master and developed enhancement..

But when I do MRP run in MD01 with this user exit key,  system only planning those 250 FG's but not planning down level materials or components of these 250 FG's.. is this standard behavior.. can somebody guide me how solve this issue..

Thanks

Is there any compelling need for you not to maintain MRP type 'No planning' for the FG materials that need not be planned? ( instead of resorting to exit)

Hi Kumar,

In this Case, You can use MRP controller as key function. Because in this case MRP controller will be same for all materials.

We have option for MRP controller also..

Can you please check.

Thanks

Hi,

MRP controller is different.. here the problem is they use different MRP controllers for FG, SFG. raw materials and packing materials...

Thanks

Hi Kumar,

     You can use either MRP Type, MRP Controller, MRP Group in this user exit to control the MRP run. For these set of Materials you have to assign any of same value or at least differentiate these material from other material. Then only you can control the MRP by using this user exit even though if you use different MRP Group and MRP Controller. In User Exit, you may have to add your dependent material's MRP Group/MRP Controller. Make sure that these set of materials are different than all other materials.

If you don't have any plan to run MRP for other materials then as per Ajit suggestion you make that material's MRP type as "ND". But, in your business case they may want to activate the MRP for all the material not now but may be latter.

Hi Kumar,

   What about the MRP group for dependent materials? Is this same as FG's MRP group or differ than that?

Thanks

Hi AKS,

Thanks for your reply...

MRP groups for dependent materials are different than the MRP group of these 250 FG's..

Thanks

HI Kumar,

    Please modify the user exit by adding dependent material's MRP group (at least one) along with main material's MRP group and test the same in Development and check the MRP output.If it's working then you have to add your dependent material's MRP group also in your User-Exit. Since, you are trying to run MRP to a specific MRP group by applying user-exit. So, system may consider that specific MRP group which you mentioned in your user exit. Please do modify and test the same

Thanks

Kumar,

If you have different MRP groups for dependent materials than the FG system would plan only FG.

Either you need to maintain same MRP group for all level materials of FG or Check with ABAPer to include all dependent materials MRP groups in logic.
