new MRP Exception Message

[Former Member]

I would like to create a new MRP Exception Message for the following:

A new MRP Exception Message is to be displayed when MRP runs, if the MRP element (PR or PO) Qty differs from the Material Master Minimum Lot size Qty.

Can you tell me:

If this is possible?

How to go about doing it?

I checked the forum and found some older posts saying this is not possible, we are on Version 4.7c and I want to know if SAP have changed this for our version or newer releases.

Thanks,

Dave

Dear David,

I dont think its possible to create a new MRP exception message,But MR.Vivek has suggested a path.

Please check once and revert back.

Hi David,

Have you noticed that after an MRP run the system has created a proposal less than the minimum lot size specified in your MRP view?

If yes, can you please provide the scenario as in what parameters you have maintained for that material.

Hi Vivek,

I have not actually run MRP or configured a message to do this. I am at the gathering data stage, are you saying that a message for this scenario already exists and I just need to maintain the Material Master correctly so that MRP will check this when it runs?

Thanks,

HI David,

Just for your info, if in case you already know it then apologies for repeating it. But the MRP program which is provided by SAP is a very powerful tool, all we need to ensure is the data is maintained properly.

So if you maintain the proper lot sizing procedure, mrp type etc, system will manage the rest.

In this specific case, if you maintain min. lot size, then system will plan based on that, so even if your need is less than the min lot size, system will create proposals for the min lot size, so there is no need for any exception message for this.

Hope the above was helpful.

Hello Vivek,

I gone thru this thread and thought to ask you.

We are setting the exception indicators, and have seen that PO delivery date has been passed (no material tunred up from the vendor) but system is not 'resetting' the process indicator. Letting the MRP controller to act to on it. Can we make any setting which 'reset the process indicator' depends on our requirements.

Other thing is, I was assuming that system reset the 'process indicator' when there is CHANGE in exception message between new and last MRP run, but I found that we blocked some stock, and run the MRP, it reset the process indicator but 'exception message' remains same... wondering why

Hi,

MRP exception message:

spro -> pp -> mrp -> evaluation -> exception messages -> define & group exception messages.

Here you can define your custom exception mesage.

Hope the above helps.

Vivek

Agree with Mr. Mangal, we cannot create a new one, just modify the existing one, if needed.
