Before MD04, we do planning using MD02 ( Single Item Multilevel planning) which plans for all BOM levels

When do we go for MD43 ( Single Item Interactive Planning)

It will plan for the material you eneterd in MD03 selection screen, not the BOM components.

Ok, It plans for the Given materials not for all the components

I think it goes with the concept of MPS item i.e. which plans only for the given material not for BOM components

Then what is the difference between MD43 & MD03

Hi Suren R

MD03 is single level MRP for specific item.

MD03 does not have interactive mode. So once you kick the MRP from MD03,

MRP is triggered and save the MRP result automatically.

Different from MD03, MD43 has interactive mode. So in the second screen you will

see current situation like MD04 and you can execute MRP interactively and decide

whether you really want to save the MRP result or cancel the MRP result.

So different from MD03, MD43 provide you with interactive planning.

Another feature of MD43 is, if you use long term planning and you want to import the

result of long term planning to productive planning, you can import long term planning

result from MD43.

In the second screen of MD43 (almost same as MD04), go to menu and select edit

=>Copy simulative LT planned order.

I hope this explanation help your understanding.

Best Regards

Basically the difference in between MRP & MPS is only MRP type in Material Master Data MRP-1 view. If you use MRP type as "PD" then system will bound you to use only MD01 series...and if you use MRP type as "M0/1/2/3/4", then system restrict you to use series MD40.. But in any case once you carried out MRP of higher level assy, it will allow you to work with either of MRP type.

Material Type MRP type MD40 series MD01 series

FERT D Will not work Will work

HALB PD Will work Will work

HALB M0/1/2/3/4 Will work Will not work

cheers!!!
