MPR - V1 Manual reorder pt w. ext. req - Dependent Requisition Help

[Former Member]

Hi,
We are currently using the PD - MRP type.
We would like to shift to the V1 MRP type, However, when we do so, we dont see any Dependent requisition created... After looking at numerous SAP forums, I learnt that SAP will not create Dep Req in the v1 MRP type...

Our materials planning team is worried that they will not be able to plan for raw materials for this part without know the Dep Req. Is there any solution to this, where the materials planning team can plan for the raw materials while I continue using the MRP type V1.

My setting are as below:

MRP type: V1 (Manual reorder point w. ext. req.)
Lot size: replenish to max stock level
In MRP 4 -> MRP dep requirements is set blank

MRP settings for v1 is:
Include ext req: 1 (external requirements within replenishment lead time)
Additional External requirements in reorder point planning:
Checkboxes - Order reservation and Release ord stk trans are checked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
So i just found the Solution.

If you want to reorder type (like V1) and at the same time if you want to generate dependent requirements.
You could use - MRP-PD with HB (replenish to max stock level) lot sizing. Here your 'safety stock' field will be your min value (reorder point) and your Max value will be your 'Max Stock level' field.

Thank you.

Hello

First questions is,what is your business requirement to shift from PD to V1?

V1 is a reorder point MRP with a completely different logic and dependent requirements will not be considered at all. It is possible to see the dependent requirements in MD04 using a BAdI, but they will not be included in the net requirements calculation and MRP will not generate requisitions to cover them.

Hi Caetano, thank you for your reply,

Our business has products that have a stable demand with very low demand variability.

The MRP type 'PD' currently asks to replenish based on next two weeks demand (we have two week lot sizing currently) minus the qty already in stock. For instance, Assume my next two weeks demand is 100nos and we have 15nos already in stock. 'PD' mrp asks us to replenish with 85 units (since 100-15 = 85). These items are held in pallets that can hold 50nos each. So I will need two pallets (one with 50 and the other with 35). Now, my previous 15nos in stock is already on another pallet. So I have 3 pallets holding 100nos (50 + 35 + 15).

Now, If we use V1 MRP and if my reorder point is 50 and max level is 100. I can have the same 100 numbers in just 2 pallets. That is, when my stock reaches minimum value of 50nos, I will replenish with another pallet of 50nos. This way I am saving on 1 pallet space (I am optimizing inventory storage).

This is the need for us to shift from PD to V1. I am new to this and please correct me if there is a better way to do the same without shifting to V1. Thanks.
