Planning file entry (URGENT)

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi All,

As per my understanding, the moment we create a material using MM01, a planning file entry is made for the same by the system. But for a particular plant i find a lot of materials not having planning file entry & hence they are not a part of MRP runs.

May i know what might be the reason that so many materials have not created a planning file entry? Is there anyway that i can know for a given plant which materials have not created a planning file entry?

(Note - These materials were created a long time ago)

Hope my question is clear, await inputs.

Hi vivek,

First of all u need to activate MRP for plant In customization T code OMDU.

Also u will find planning file entry for material which are MRP relevant.

U can check these materials by MM60 T code.

This will give list of material for which mrp view is updated

Hope this will solve ur prob.

Reward points if found usefull

Thanks for your inputs. But i wish to inform you that MRP runs are already taking place for this plant every night. I recently noticed that some materials are not part of this MRP run, although proper MRP parameters are maintained in the Material Master. When i manually run a MRP for this material using MD03, it generates Purchase Requisitions. But what i am not able to understand is how come all these materials did not have a planning file entry. Is there any other place where i need to check?

Hi vivek,

i found this info on SDN only hope this will solve ur prob completly

Basically, planning file entries are automatically generated for newly created materials with MRP views (with a valid MRP type) or materials to which MRP views are added at a later time. The prerequisite for this is that MRP has been activated for the plants under consideration.

This implies that as long you load your materials after MRP has been activated for your plants, then theoretically you do not have to create the planning file entries manually. The usual practice however is to schedule the MDAB and MDRE jobs as a one-time run after loading your materials. This is done primarily as a safety measure to ensure that materials are not missing planning file entries for any reason.

If you are using the direct input program (RMDATIND) for instance (or a BDC program where you might have missed the relevant setting) to load your materials and you have not flagged the 'update planning file entry' indicator in the input parameters, then you WILL need to run MDAB and MDRE once to create the planning file entries manually and check consistency.

Schedule the planning file entry (MDAB) and MDRE (consistency check) jobs once a month or so essentially as a precautionary measure to ensure that NO materials are missed for any reason to be included in the planning run. It may not be required but then It is always prefer safety rather than finding out when it's too late in the game.

Hi Vishal,

Thanks for that input. Can you guide me how i can schedule these jobs? I know i need to use SM36 to schedule a job, but can you let me know the steps along with the ABAP program name. I tried entering MDRE & MDAB, it gave an error. Await your inputs.

hi Vivek Seelin

No need to schedule job through SM36

Simply select trnx MDAB -> select varient ->Press F6 ->u will get 2 options 1)schedule once 2)schedule periodically if u select periodically u can schedule it by month, week,days,hrs..etc

u can follow similat sequence for MDAB

Hi Vishal,

Thanks for all your guidance. The problem was that all these materials were not a part of planning file & hence was not included in MRP run. After MDAB & MDRE it is now working fine. Keep the good working going.

Thanks & Regards,

Vivek

I suppose the material for which planning file entry has not been made.....the MRP type might have been mentioned No Planning (ND).

Pl. check and confirm and also correct me if I am wrong.
