testing MRP scope of planning and MRP lists

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am configuring the scope of planning and want to know how can I test if the planning is happening in the sequence as specified in the scope of planning. I would have around 20 plants in the scope. I thought of going after the time stamp on the receipts created by the system. Is there any table like MDKP which can show me the sequence of planning ?

Also what is the use oif the tcode MD08.... delete MRP lists ? what is the use of deleting these lists besides keeping the system clean

Thanks

Hi,

Regarding the sequence of planning as per the scope of planning definition; it is my understanding that the sequence of the definition is not necessarily the sequence of the run.

One of the advantages is that you may have cross requirements between two plants, and if you plan in one ridgid sequence you will miss some on the planning needed. Scope of planning should be able to provide for all these situations, thus not adhere to a ridgid sequence.

Hi

Reorganization of the MRP Lists - MD08

A report is available for reorganizing the MRP lists which you can find in the menu for MRP under the menu option, Environment. If you enter the selection criteria, plant, material, and MRP date, the system deletes all the MRP lists from the database that are no longer required.This report can also be started in a test session and you can instruct the system to print out a list of all the deleted MRP lists.

Further

Deleting MRP Lists - Manually in MD05

If the MRP list is no longer required, you can delete it manually. In order to do this, choose MRP list ® Delete document. The MRP list will be deleted.If you do not delete the MRP list manually, it is stored in the system until a new MRP list is created by a further planning run.
