How many planned orders will be created for one MRP run? I selected fixed lot size in MRP 1 and quantity is 500. How many planned orders will be created if the sale order exist for 5000 nos.
We got some practical manual error problem while production posting in our organisation. If the Pl.qty. or prd.ord. qty. are more than the actual production quantity, there are chance of posting of all the quantity available in the order. So, to minimize the error posting, I wants to restrict the quantity to 500 (Max. shift production) and for 3 shifts I need 3 planned order. I think you understood my problem.
Yes. the planned order created with reference to the sales order. My question is when I am converting sale order to planned order thro MRP run, system should release only limited planned order with the fixed quantity. For eg. the sale order qty. is 5000nos. and when MRP runs system will generate 10 planned order with the fixed quantity of 500 lot size. But I do not want 10 planned orders. I wants only 3 planned orders with the quantity of 500 each and while next MRP run system should generate other 3 planned orders. Is it possible?
It sounds like you are saying that you only want to create one day's worth of planned orders each day.
In your explanation, you evidently have a problem with 'mistakes' in which production overbuilds. These are not mistakes, these are deviations from instructions. I will assume that you have up until now attempted to work with the offending group and that you are unable to influence them to comply with normal business instructions.
MRP will usually attempt to create enough planned orders to satisfy ALL requirements. In your case, it would create all the planned orders required to satisfy the 5000 piece order. Not 1500 pieces (500500500).
The normal way that most operations deal with your situation is through production order release. The appropriate planner will convert the planned orders to production orders, according to business procedures in place. At some time later, when the planner feels that the plan is ready for execution, the planner will release the production orders. Until this moment, production is unable to do anything with these orders. Usually, a limited number of professionals in an organization have the ability to convert planned to production, and likewise the 'release' authority is also limited to a few people. In a large organization, the production plans may then be handed off to a schedular.
I think the answer is not to be found in limiting the creation of planned orders. Planned orders are designed to be used for planning.. Let the system do its work. Restrict the creation of firmed executables to the professionals who are able to follow your organization's business procedures.
If you are unable to make these business process improvements, then I think that the only software solution would be to run MRP as normal, and then use a custom developed Z program to delete/alter certain planned orders according to your specification.
Thanks experts. Then I will go for weekwise sale order quantity updation in system otherwise I will ask my ABAPer to check for Z configuration in software.
