Weird MRP behavior - MD01 and MD02 not proposing the same

[bear_boy]

Weird MRP behavior.

I have an FG with a SFG as part of the BOM. The SFG is externally produced, and has a special procurement key for a different plant. I want for this SFG, a planned order be created before being converted into a PR

So when I run MD01 via plant, the parameter for "Create Purchase Requistion" is 3 Planned Orders. The prposal for the SFG is a Purchase Requisition (not a planned order), However when I run MD02 for single item-multi-level for the SFG, it creates a planned order, which is what I want to happen.

Why is this happening?

How can I set the system to do this via MD01

Hi,

When you put "X" , and give MRP Parameters as 3 (planned Orders) in MD01 You gor Pur req.

What is Collective req indicator in MRP 4 for this item, in how many Other BOMs is being used. While you were running MD01, how many of these boms actually has requirement to generate.

When you run MD02, is for on Product which might have req in later part and you have sufficient opening time available with you, so system would give Planned Order, and it is up to planner to convert to Pur Req.

The Out Might have differed because of Collective requirements.

If any way material ia Purchased or Exter Produced, Keep "F" and Sp. Proc Key, And Run with MRP Parameter "1- Purchase requisitions"

1. Procurement Type = X, MRP parameters = 3 planned orders via MD01

Result: Purchase Req

2. Collective req indicator is blank

-Should I make this either 1 or 2?

3. SFG Material is only used in 1 BOM

4. We have background jobs for MRP and we cant run MD02 manually for only 1 SFG. Planned Orders must be created for SFG item and not PRs

Hi,

Is any MRP group assigned to the material??? If so check the creation indicator settings for the MRP group in customizing(OPPR) & also if MRP group is assigned to material type.

When you run MRP at plant level, the settings in MRP group are given 1st priority & if it has not been maintained,

the the setting from the intial screen of MRP is used.

Check n revert.

Run a MRP( MD01 or MD02) with create a purchase req- option 3( plan order) in MRP control parameter

Sytem will create a Plan order for all the external operation

or Maintain a procurement type X for thr material

Hi, planned order is not being created with parameter 3 selected, even if X is the procurement type. Why?
