How to generate weekly Planned orders automatically

[faisal_khan]

Hi

I would like to configure the system such that one weekly Planned order for 500 packs are generated automatically via MRP for whole year i.e. around 52 Planned orders. We have a requirement to make to stock around 500 packs of XYZ material on weekly basis. How to do this in system?

I read about cutoff planning using tcode MC88 but not sure how to use it for above scenario.

thanks

Hi Brahmankar,

In MD61, what should I select for Planning period field i.e.Months (M) or Weeks (W) on parameter screen and what should be my Planning Horizon i.e. From and To fields?

Also should i put 26000 (52 x 500) for the 1st Month?

Thanks

Hello,

You may try this

In material master MRP1 view maintain following setting,

Lot size = FS Fixing and splitting

Fixed lot size = 500

Takt time = 7

Rounding value 500

Create PIR MD61 in month with quantity as 26000

Run MRP and check the out come you will have 52 planned order with 7 days period.

Best Regards,

Hello

I cannot think about any setting to generate a planned order with a fixed quantity every week. You can use a reorder point, but then a new planned order will be only generated when the stock reaches the reorder point.

There are period based MRP types, where MRP can be executed once a week, but they you cannot ensure that you will always generate a new planned order with a fixed quantity every week.

My suggestion to you is to use a make-to-stock planning strategy, such as strategy 11, where system will propose new orders regardless of your available stock and to manually create PIRs in demand management (transaction MD61 / MD62).
