Dear All,

i have the requirement like:

for the materials i want to maintain minimum stock or safety stock level.and whenever total stock of that material goes below  to minimum stock level(already defined) then system must generate the auto mail to user(sap user).

we are not using MRP concept right now.

pls suggest whether this requirement can be filed by SAP standard or need ABAP help.

You can make a report run in background and filter all materials which stock goes below minimum level = compare to present unrestricted stock and send as an email attachment to buyers.

If you want to issue warning message during goods issue, you can do it. Check the link:

Yes Sumit, the program which designed by ABAPers run automatically. No manual intervention required.

The report run automatically based on day/week/month in background and send email. Nothing need to be done manually. This procedure working in our client on stocks, pending purchase orders to buyers etc. Once program set it will run everyday morning automatically and sends email.

The made suggestions were already very good,

My suggestion would be to spend some time on MRP functionality and use the standard instead of such email workaround. Reorder point planning is really the easiest MRP type to implement.

In my opinion this email workaround may work if you only have to deal with about 100 materials,

if it is more and you send an email for every case, instead of summary per day , then this will become quite annoying. (e.g. a planner for spare part has to deal with more than 10000 materials in our plant, with about 200 orders every day, which would mean 200 emails)

I am just talking from experience, even we have users who wanted mails for certain events, they actually paid twice for the development work to make it work, and again for disposal of the functionality. They did just not imagine how much emails they would receive per day.

And with less than a hundred materials most planners will know what to order by just walking thru the warehouse each morning.
