MRP Procurement proposal

Former Member

Hi,

I am facing two issues in MRP Net requirement calculation and scheduling.

Below given are the details of the situation.

Master data:

Material: X

Opening stock: 5000kg

Safety stock: 2500kg

Planning time fence: 42days

MRP TYPE: P3 (Firming type 3)

Lot size procedure: Monthly lot size

Minimum lot size: 6000kg

Procurement type: E (in house production)

Issue:

1. MRP is generating a procurement proposal (Planned order) and moving it to the last of planning time fence, even though there are existing receipt elements (planned orders and production orders) to cover the requirement during that period.

Ideally the new procurement proposal is not required in that period

2. Within planning time fence the quantity of the procurement proposals(planned order in this case) are calculated based on Monthly lot sizing procedure(sums up the requirement of one month) and after planning time fence, quantity of procurement proposals is calculated based on minimum lot size defined in material master (6000kg)

Please provide the explaination/solution for the issues mention above.

Thanks in advance

Nataraj

Hi,

pls check the reqmt qty and the sum of Stock plus the receipt elements .

Unless there is a shortage , the system will not create a new proc proposal and schedules it to the the end of PTF.

( With firming type 3 , all procurement proposals that are necessary for requirements coverage are displaced to the end of the planning time fence )

Sheik

Hi Natraj,

MRP type used is P3, hence if there is are procurement proposals already existing inside the planning fence period, will be shifted outside the planning fence peiod when mrp is run.

If you do not want to shift this one then try with mrp type P1. This will firm the procurement proposals already existing withing the planning fence period & new procurement proposals will be created outside the planning fence peiod.

For the second question:

Since monthly lot size is used all the requirement for a month is cumulated & procurement proposals are created.

Outside the planning fence if the requirement for a month is less than 6000, which is the minimum lot size, then system will plan for the minimum lot size.

Hi Senthil,

Thanks for your reply. But my first question is not on firming and moving of procurement proposals to the end of planning time fince, I will explain the requirement in detail.

If I am running MRP Today and my planning time fence is 42days from today. I have Planned orders, production orders and plant stock sufficient to meet the requirements (Safety stock is also considered) for the period which i am analysing. But MRP is generating one more procurement proposal with quantity 6000kg(and moving it to the last day of planning time fence), which is not required since there is no shortage within planning time fence.

Second question is, within planning time fence the procurement proposals quantities are 3000kg(which is sum of one months requirements, though the min. lot size is 6000kg) but after planning time fence the quantity of procurement proposals is 6000kg.

Is there any plant specific config affecting this?

I mean, what is the effect of Range of coverage on MRP?

Thanks and regards,
