How to aggregate purchase orders via MRP

[former_member1378742]

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to aggregate POs for different materials which are ordered from one supplier. Because for the minimum order quantity suppliers demand a full truck load. However, for materials required irregular and in low quantities I want to aggregate these materials from the same supplier into one full truck loads. Is this possible in SAP or do I have to do this manually?

If you are still on SAP ECC you may take a look at "Load Building" functionality in Purchasing area:

Hello Yvet

MRP cannot do it, because it plans each material separately and it generates purchase requisitions with a single item.

If you are using SAP S/4HANA, however, there is a Fiori App called "Create Optimal Orders for Shipment", where you can create a single PO to cover shortages for different materials. Take a look in the app documentation below:
