Dear Friend,

Only one MRP Run i.e. the Total MRP Run is possible at different plants but all must be under same company code.

in your case ,plants are under different comp.codes , so it s quite difficult.

Here I have to check the posiibility of using the special procurement key to tranfer the material between plants assigned to different comapny codes. The particular Keys are ..

40--Stock transfer (proc.from alter.plant); 70 -- Withdrawal from alternative plant or 80----Production in alternative plant*

If it is possible , then you can use this option of Special Procurement key.

Otherwise you can use Plant to plant transfer movements like 647 to transfer beween plants against the Purchase order.

Hi Aqueel,

Here is the solution:

1. Configure Special Procurement Key per supplying/ receiving plant for STO process - use std key 40 or copy

2. Assign the key suitably to the material master subject to STO (Inter or Intra)

3. Configure Inter Company STO and Intra Comapny (Inter plant same Co Code) STO process with help of MM & SD consultants

4. Configure "Scope of Planning" to group different plants in a logical sequence (irresepctive of company codes)

5. Run MRP at "Scope of Planning" level to cover all plants - recommended for STO cases amongst various plants - various company codes

And for info to others:

1. Spl Proc Key can be used irrespective of different co-codes

2. MRP can be run at plant level, but to run for group of plants under one or various company codes at the same time we use "Scope of Planning" concept.

HKV...

Dear ,

In satndard SAP , MRP set up is based on Plant under any company code and controlling area .MRP can be excuted in various option like MRP Area ,MRP Controller ,MRP Type , Storage Loaction , a group of plants and storage loaction etc under one company code but not possible in cross company code level.

I am not sure all of your plants are in one Chart Of Account or not .But still you need to execute the MRP only at one company code not at multiple company code level.You may be having company code to company code requirement transfer based on the business decision and Sales Org Structure .

Hope thsi clarifies

I do not think so this can be done in two plants under two different company code because Company code is legal entity .It is only possilbe with in same company code .One could be Planning Plant and another will be suppling plant /production unit .

1. MRP is Run at the Plant level, it doenot looks for any compnay level settings.

2. If you need to consolidate or pass requirement from one plant to another then you can use the special procurement type with Stock transfer.

3. In the stock transfer the MM / SD module will discuss on confirming them as Inter / Intra company stock tranfer.

So work with special procurement key it will be ( Read te Sap help for it in detail).

Kindly let me know if you have any questions on this.

Thanx

you r right MRP will run on plant base...but only one plant is manufacturing component " L' for his own requirement and for other plants requirement its may be own comp plants or other comp plans.

how i will generate MRP for all requirement , and how will i collect requirement from others plans and his own plant requirement .

component L is semifinish,it use for Finish material assembly. all plant are assembling same finish material and only one plant manufacturing semi finish and also finish material

kindly suggest me how will collect the requirement from other plants and same plant...for MRP run

To recap my understanding, all plants produce FGs and they require semiFG for only one supplying plant.

You can try to investigate the special procurement type stock transfer. Set the material master of the other plants to have stock transfer to supplying plant that produce Semi-FG.

Since some of the STO will be inter-company then you may have to think about how to capture this kind of inter-company sales. Of course, you can use STO to do so. But it will obviously lack some of functionality that SD sales order will provide (i.e., credit check, availability check at batch level - there are some OSS note to fix this though, etc.).

If you want to set the MRP background job to run in sequential, you can also do so in the configuration in Scope of Planning.
