Hi,

as you can not store services like materials - you do not have an inventory - it is not possible to use the MRP for services.

You can define certain product groups for materials, however it is possible only to have product groups in plant level only and not in MRP area level. (This is the reason why you do not have display of MRP area in MC81. ..)

Hi Edit,

The question is not to run MRP for Service materials, - to run MRP for the Materials in a Service Order.

I have one service order in which I have raised requirement for 10 materials (eg. Raw materials).

MRP can be run Plant wise or Material wise.If I run Plant wise MRP, system will gather all the requirement that are required in the plant (including Sales order, Service order, Prod order etc..).

If I run the MRP Material wise, system will gather the requirement of that material in all types of orders.

But the requirement is to run the MRP only for a particular Service order (only for the materials and quantities required in the given Service order) and generate PR and PO for procurement. The material may also be required for another service order, sales order or prod order. MRP should not gather the requirement for other orders.

Hope my explanation is clear. Prasanna, please post the correct scenario if there are any deviation in my understanding of your query.

I am also Looking for the solution. If any one have idea please help us to solve the issue.

Thanks,

Hi,

Is this for stock material or non-stock material??

For stock materials, a reservation can be created on the inventory in the plant. When the MRP runs for the material this service order reservation is picked up to determine the total requirements.

For non-stock material, a PR is created which will follow the procurement cycle.

Standard SAP does not support MRP run for a particular service order, you may have to do a user exit for it.

Hi Milind,

Thanks for your update.

We are concerning about the Stock materials only. When we run the MRP plant wise or material wise, the system will gather all the requirement in the plant / materials.

We are interested to generate the PR only for a particular Service order (For your information, every service order will have a Reservation Number).

Would be a great help if you provide the User Exit name and logic outline to meet out our requirement.

Thanks in advance,

Babu
