Dear ,

I am doing this Forcast Base Planning in our busniess .

Few Question : Are you keeping all the material which will be FBP in one MRP Controller or one MRP Area or One Storage Location ? How are you planning to Excute MRP in MD01?

Here what we did is I have create scope of planning where I include different storage location ,plant , MRP area so that various material can be planned through MRP.In your case u can run MRP on plant /sl/mrp area based on requirement in MD01.But not all the material will be under FBP.In this case I have created an User Exit in MD01 where it will plan only those Material which are having MRP Type-Fore Cast Base MRP irrespective of MRP Controller ,SL ,MRP Area ,Plant

How to execute Forecast :-

1.If you are looking for Individual Forecast for any material , u have to go though MM02 , select the Forcasting View hit on the Execute Forecast and save.It will based on the Consumption Histroy , Forecasting Model , Smmothing factor , Initialization Factors, Period forecast .It will calcualte the forcasting for the stipulated period and safety stock will be calculated based on service level percenrage in MRP3 view .In case of total forecast , you can do it through MP38 :

1.Enter Plant Code

2.Copy the material which one u want to execute forcast in case if you want to shorten ur time .

3.Period Indicator -M

4.Forecast Execution : A

3.Tick on the SAVE/Log Record and execute .

It will show you how many materials forcasted with quanty , safety stock and forcast realted parametrs in each n every material .How many are failed due to no cunsumption valus with red alarm.

2.Copy Forcast to Planning Table : MD70 .Enter Plant , Material ,Period To/From for copying the monthly forecast ,Requirement Type : VFB -check in your case , Version :00 .Give a Requirement plan Number .Tick on Req active ,History ,No Data Base Change , Detail List .Finally execute .

3.check the same in MD62 -Change Planning Table with that Req Plan Number not by material /product group.

4.Run MRP on MD01 based on your requirement as I have shared with u above.

Forecasting:

1. Material master

1.1. IN the material master you have to select the forecasting view.

1.2. in this you have to set the Forecast model

1.3. Also you have to give the History period (to be considered for calculating the cosumptions)

1.4 Forecast period- till how much periods you need to forecast

1.5 Consumption values - during the first few periods you have to maintain this ( during the first run) since you will not have any history values.

2. Forecasting procedure:

2.1 For single material

MP30 EXECUTE

MP31 CHANGE

MP32 DISPLAY

2.2 For forecasting at the plant level.

MP38 EXECUTE

MP33 REPROCESS

MP39 PRINT

MPBT EXECUTE BACKGROUND

MPDR PRINT BACKGROUND

2.4. Now when you run the forecast, you can see the :ForReq" created as a issue element.

2.5 This becomes the source of your demnad

3. NOw you can run the MRP

3.1. once you run the mrp you will have the issue elements genearted based on the procurement type.

try this procedure let me know in case of issue.
