You use the MRP type to control which procedure is to be used to plan a material and which MRP parameters can be entered when maintaining a material master record. The MRP type is saved in the material master record.

The following MRP type parameters are relevant for the planning run:

  • MRP procedure

    The MRP procedure determines which of the following MRP types is to be used:

    • MRP
    • Consumption-Based Planning (reorder point)
    • MPS

  • Indicator: Plan regularly

    This indicator determines that materials that are given this MRP type are to be planned in regular intervals, even if no change relevant to the planning run has been made.

    For materials that are to be planned regularly, you must also define the interval according to which the material is to be planned. You maintain this information in the MRP group.

    For more information on this subject, please refer to the section, "Define maximum MRP interval".

  • Indicator: Roll forward

    To adjust the firmed master plan to a changed requirements situation, you can maintain an indicator for the deletion of old, out-of-date planned orders.

    This indicator causes the system to delete firmed order proposals that lie before the so-called roll forward period in the planning run and to create new, scheduled planned orders (or depending on the fixing type they may be displaced to the end of the planning time fence).

You determine the roll forward period in the step entitled, "Define planning time fence".

For more information on this topic, refer to the section entitled, "Define planning time fence and roll forward period".

  • Indicator: External requirements

    This indicator is only relevant for reorder point planning. It can be used to instruct the system to include customer requirements and manual reservations in the MRP calculation for materials that are planned by reorder point. If a material is planned with this type of reorder point planning, then an entry is created in the planning file when creating or changing a sales order or a manual reservation.

If you want to include requirements in the MRP calculation in addition to the customer requirements and manual reservations, select the following fields:

  • Requirements for materials to be provided in subcontracting
  • Dependent order reservations on the basis of production orders
  • Dependent order reservations on the basis of maintenance orders or networks
  • Release orders
  • Purchase requisition releases
  • Forecast delivery schedules

    Please note:

    The system only displays the Include external requirements indicator if reorder point planning is selected as the MRP procedure.

  • Forecast indicator

    You use this indicator to determine whether or not the forecast is to be carried out.

  • Forecast consumption indicator

    You use this indicator to determine which consumption values are to be used in the material forecast.

  • MRP indicator of the material forecast

    You use this indicator to determine which requirements values are to be taken into account in the planning run.

  • Calculate safety stock

    You use this indicator to determine whether the safety stock is to be calculated automatically. The safety stock can be calculated automatically for materials planned with one of the consumption-based planning procedures if the service level has been maintained in the material master record, if historical data exists and if the forecast has been carried out for the material.

  • Indicator, calculate reorder point

    You use this indicator to determine whether the reorder point is to be calculated automatically. The reorder point is calculated for materials planned in this way if automatic reorder point planning has been selected, if historical data exists, and if the forecast has been carried out for the material.

MRP list: extended header

The screen sequence key controls the display of the extended header in the evaluation screens for material requirements planning. That is, you use this key to control which screens are to be displayed in the extended header and the sequence in which the screens are to be displayed.

For more information on this topic, please refer to the section entitled, "Screen sequence for extended header" (MRP list + stock/reqmts list).

Default settings

In the standard SAP system, the following MRP types are determined, for example;

  • VB    =>    Manual reorder point planning
  • VM    =>    Automatic reorder point planning
  • V1    =>    Automatic reorder point planning including external requirements
  • V2    =>    Automatic reorder point planning without external requirements
  • VV    =>    Forecast-based planning
  • ND    =>    No planning
  • PD    =>    MRP

Actions

  1. If necessary, change the parameters set in the standard system.
  2. Add new MRP types to suit your own requirements.
