You use the MRP type to assign the procedure to be used to plan a material and to control which MRP parameters can be maintained for the material in the material master record. You enter the MRP type in the material master record.
The following parameters of the MRP type are relevant for MRP:
- MRP procedure
The MRP procedure defines which of the following MRP types is to be used:
- MRP
- consumption-based planning (reorder point)
- MPS
- Indicator Firming type
The firming type determines how order proposals are firmed and
scheduled if you work with a planning time fence in the planning run.
The following firming types exist:
Firming type 0: Order proposals are not firmed automatically.
With this firming type, no actual firming takes place. The materials only receive the indicator for MPS so that they can be planned using the special planning run for master production scheduling. This firming type only makes sense in combination with the MRP procedure MPS.
Firming type 1: An order proposal that lies within the planning time fence is firmed automatically as soon as its date lies at least one day before the finish date of the planning time fence. The date of new order proposals that are actually created in the planning time fence are rescheduled out to the end of the planning time fence. Therefore, these new order proposals are not firmed.
Firming type 2: An order proposal that lies within the planning time fence is automatically firmed as soon as its date lies at least one day before the end of the planning time fence. The system does not create any new order proposals within the planning time fence. That is, the shortage situation is not adjusted within the planning time fence.
Firming type 3: Order proposals that lie within the planning time fence are not firmed automatically. The order proposals required to cover the requirements are moved to the end of the planning time fence.
Firming type 4: Within the planning time fence, the system creates no order proposals automatically. That is, the shortage situation is not adjusted within the planning time fence.
- Indicator: Planning time fence
Using the planning time fence, you can exclude a certain period from the automatic planning run. In this period, only manual changes are made - depending on the firming type. The system will not create any order proposals within this period.
For more information on the planning time fence, please refer to the IMG chapter entitled, "Master production scheduling".
- Indicator: Roll forward
If you want to adjust the master plan to suit a changed requirements situation, you can do this by maintaining the indicator for deleting out-of-date planned orders.
This indicator instructs the system to delete firmed order proposals that lie before the roll forward period during the planning run and to create new, correctly scheduled planned orders (or depending on the firming type they will be moved to the end of the planning time fence).
You define the roll forward period in the workstep entitled, "Define planning time fence".
For more information, please refer to the IMG chapter 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 reservationds in the MRP calculation for materails 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 indicator Incl. external reqmts is only displayed if you selected the MRP procedure "reorder point planning".
- Indicator: Plan regularly
This indicator defines that materials with this MRP type are to be planned in regular intervals even if the material has not undergone a change relevant to planning.
For materials that are to be planned regularly, you must also maintain the period in which the material is to be planned (at the latest). You do this via the MRP group.
For more information, please refer to the IMG chapter entitled, "Define the maximum MRP period".
- Forecast indicator
You use this indicator to define whether the forecast is to be carried our or not.
- Forecast consumption indicator
You use this indicator to define which consumption values are to be used for the material forecast.
- MRP indicator in forecast
You use this indicator to define which requirements values are to be taken into consideration in the planning run.
- Calculate safety stock automatically
You use this indicator to define whether the system is to calculate safety stock automatically. The safety stock can be calulated automatically for materials planned using MRP or using reorder point procedures if you have maintained a service level, if historical data exists and if the forecast has been carried out.
- Calculate reorder point automatically
You use this indicator to define whether the reorder point is calculated automatically. The reorder point is calculated for materials that are planned using reorder point if the procedure, "automatic reorder point planning" has been selected, if historical data exists, and if the forecast has been carried out.
MRP list - extended header
The screen sequence key controls the display of the extended header in the evaluations of MRP. That is, it controls which screens are to be displayed in the extended header and the sequence in which they are to be dispalyed.
For more information, please refer to the IMG chapter entitled, "Screen sequence for ext. header (MRP list / stock/reqmts list):
Default settings
The following MRP types are defined in the SAP standard delivery:
- ND => no MRP
- PD => MRP
- 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
Actions
- If necessary change the settings in the standard SAP syste.
- Add new MRP types to suit your requirements.
