When the MRP run manually created PR not converted to schedule line.

Hi gurus,

We have one PR which is created manually of 100 qty.I have the requirement for the material is 300 qty.I maintained the source list and also i maintained SA number and MRP indicator in the source list.

When i run the MRP ssytem genetates the schedule lines of only 200 qty.PR which is created manually didn't affect by MRP.In MD04 that particular PR is having the firm indicator.

When i delete the source list and i run the MRP now the PR is created depending upon the requirements.Then i maintain the source list and run the MRP in delete and recreate mode.Now the system delete the PR and generates the schedule lines.

Kindly clarify why that manully created PR is not converted to schedule lines when the MRP run.

Also please give your suggestion how to convert that PR to schedule lines.

Thanks in advance.

PR is created only when you run MRP. Whereas Schedule lines are created as per the the requirement dates in the scheduling agreement.

Say we need a raw material on 04,08,12,16,20 th of a month,we need to give the dates in the sceduling aggrement. Then schedule lines are automatically created. You don't have to run MRP. Then using schedule lines you can receive (GR) the material on the respective dates.

Hi,

It was because your PR was firm as far as your MRP run is concerned (you can check in MD04 transaction). If you wish to convert your PR into SA delivery schedule line, then you should do it in ME38 transaction.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

Can you please explain how the PR is getting firmed.Because when we release the schedule lines and based on the firm zone period schedule lines are gettting firmed.But iam not sure how the PR is getting firmed.

Also tell me how to avoid this in future.
