How to setup:MRP should not buy additional RM with coverage profile

[Former Member]

Dear all,

Currently I am using strategy 40.

I have 2 BOM: A & B with the same components

1) A: component x & component y

2) B: component x & component y

In Material Master of RM x: Coverage Profile = 30 days

In Material Master of RM y: Coverage Profile = 30 days

After I make the plan for A&B, then run MPS, MRP I would like that:

- MRP buy additional RM x&y with coverage profile for FG A (MRP buy RM x&y to produce A + safety stock according coverage profile)

- MRP should not buy additional RM x&y with coverage profile for FG B ( MRP buy only enough RM x&y to produce B)

Can I do like that?

Could you pls kindly advise me how to do?

Thank you very much for your kind support!

Hi,

For the same period when you are running the MRP for the both the FGs A and B then your scenario is not possible to achieve otherwise you can achieve this by different coverage for each period.

But

it may not be possible to restrict the materials to have planning in different periods always and coverage profiles are Mtl specific you can not achieve your scenario.

Hi,

In this case you define the Item category is L u2013 stock item in One BOM and another BOM define N u2013 Non stock Item as in other BOM.

Define item category as N u2013 Non stock item in the Bill of material. So that, system does not look into (considered) the total receipts / stocks of the material. Whenever the demand comes to the header material, components are directly procured.

Dear Lokesh_Ch,

Thank you very much for your information.

I define item category as N u2013 Non stock item in the Bill of material, then create PIR, run MPS, MRP.

However the system doesn't generate PR to buy raw material for this plan.

As you said "components are directly procured", it means we should manually create PR to purchase the component?

Thanks,

Dear all,

Could anyone can tell me what mean "components are directly procured"?

Is it right that the system doesn't automatically generate PR and user should manually create PR?

Thank you very much!
