mrp for procured materials in a project

30 Views

Hi Gurus

We are using various procured materials in our projects. We manually assign these materials to the network activity and create reservation for the WBS.

Would maintaining ‘PD’ in MRP type of the materials be sufficient to trigger automatic PR’s against the reservations, after the MRP run (in case there is no project stock of the material)? Should we assign any strategy group to the materials? Are there any other settings that need to be maintained?

Additionally, can we put all these materials in a bom with a dummy header material (marked as phantom item, without a strategy group), so that header is not planned (but components are)? Could we then use bom transfer to reduce effort?

Your inputs would be appreciated.

Thanks
