Preventing MRP for 541'd material

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Sometimes we send expensive spare parts to other companies in case of emergency, and get them back when they have it in a few days.

When a material is sent to a vendor with 541 movement (Transfer posting unrestricted-use stock - stock of material provided

to vendor ), the MRP for that material should not create planned orders for that material. Because it is thousands of euros expensive and it will be back in stock in a few days.

After automatic MRP run, planned orders are checked in MD15 and these ones are removed from list for not to create purchasing requests for them.

What can be done to prevent MRP create planned orders for materials that a posted with 541 movement?

Thanks in advance,

Koray

Thanks for the reply.

In OVZ9 I have a table like this:

Av. Check - Descrp. - A. Check Rule - Checking rule

01 Daily requirements 01 Checking rule 01

01 Daily requirements 03 Checking rule 03

01 Daily requirements A SD order

01 Daily requirements AE SD order; make-to-order stock

01 Daily requirements AQ SD order; project stock

01 Daily requirements AV SD order; returnable packaging

01 Daily requirements AW SD order; consignment

01 Daily requirements B SD delivery

01 Daily requirements BE SD delivery; make-to-order stock

01 Daily requirements BQ SD delivery; project stock

01 Daily requirements BV SD delivery; returnable packaging

01 Daily requirements BW SD delivery; consignment

01 Daily requirements PM Checking rule for plant maintenance

01 Daily requirements PP PP checking rule

01 Daily requirements PS PS Checking rule (project system)

01 Daily requirements RP Replenishment

01 Daily requirements RS Checking rule (SAP Retail Store)

01 Daily requirements SM Service checking rule

02 Individ.requirements 01 Checking rule 01

02 Individ.requirements 03 Checking rule 03

02 Individ.requirements A SD order

02 Individ.requirements AE SD order; make-to-order stock

02 Individ.requirements AQ SD order; project stock

02 Individ.requirements AV SD order; returnable packaging

02 Individ.requirements AW SD order; consignment

02 Individ.requirements B SD delivery

02 Individ.requirements BE SD delivery; make-to-order stock

......

What line should I enter to enable stock at subcontarctor available?

"Availability check" value for those materials are "02".

Thanks.

goto MD04

enter your material and plant and execute.

choose from menu Environment > ATP quantities

Now SAP shows the combination that is used in MRP for ATP check.

Double click this combination in OVZ9 to make your settings.

Hello,

I think in customizing you can do the settings that system don't plan mrp for the sub-contract (special stock type) materials. If you do that then system should not give plan order.

OK, never mind.

Thank you very much.

OK, When I select ATP Quantities, the error text is:

Diagnosis

In Customizing the checking control for the combination availability 02 and checking rule BO was not maintained.

System Response

This material component cannot take part in the availability check.

Procedure

Maintain the relevant entries in Customizing or ask your system administrator to do this for you.

Procedure for System Administration

Maintain the relevant entries in Customizing for the availability check.

Any idea where to edit?

The easy way is to create an order for that company, but customizing is less prone to user error.

MRP run does not exclude certain materials, except you define a logic in a user exit.

It creates a new planned order if it determines a requirement for that material for which you do not have a coverage.

As a material never falls from heaven, you should create a regular process.

which means either you have to change your cusotmizing in OVZ9 to make stock at a subcontractor available

or you need to create a PO to that other company to get the material back and to include this PO into your planning process.
