MRP Type PD and VB combination

[Former Member]

Hi SAP Gurus,

I have one req. as below,

I have one material which i want to run on both PD & VB type.

Means,

for simple example

1. I have one fert item in that one roh item bom.

first case:-

1. Roh item has min, max level is 500, 1000 ea. i.e. reorder level is 1000 ea.

2. if my roh has stock 400, system should generate requirement of 600.

3.& also if my fert item has 2000 requirement & if I take MRP RUN then system should genrate roh requirement is 600 & then 1000 nos.

Pls. advise me how i can achive this????

Thanks in advance.

Hi,Vinayak

You have maintianed max lot qty is 1000 and then get that result you met.

Please maintain that field as blank and re-run MRP,check the result again.

Hi Vinayak,

I guess you dint get an ans to your previous posting on the same issue.

Anyways i see a fundamental mis-alignment in your need.

You specify Min stock level as 500, Max as 1000. If present stock level is 400 & req. coming for 2000, you want the system to propose 600 + 1000, which implies, when you issue the entire 2000, the system will have 0 stock, is that what you're looking for? Can you justify the same?

Hi Vivek,

Ferget about the min and max lot size.

I want the BOM item to be planned as PD when MRP run will be taken on header item and to be planned as VB when item is planned seperately or Plant MRP run.

Hi Vinayak,

Can you let us know the need to do something like that? As you might be well aware it is possible to maintain only one MRP type per material.
