Define sequence of MRP areas in MRP Live planning scope

[former_member402546]

Hi Gurus,

S/4HANA MRP Live supports planning in MRP areas however I couldn't find a way to sequentially schedule my MRP areas within a plant in the background run (similar to Define scope of planning for total planning).

I can see that PPH_MRP_START background job can only plan by plants, materials or MRP Controllers etc however strangely there is no option to sequentially plan for MRP areas within a plant? We have a critical requirement to be able to sequentially drive the requirements up the supply chain from smaller units to large depots hence the request.

Because of the above restriction we are forced to go the MRP Classic direction instead of using MRP Live.

Any help from the gurus would be truly appreciated.

Hello offshore.development

Following your question I've opened an improvement request with SAP to reintroduce planning scope configuration in MRP Live: https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/idea/249487/ That would solve the issues like yours.

You might also read my blog entry that stemmed out of your question: https://blogs.sap.com/2020/06/09/s-4hana-mrp-to-live-or-not-to-live-planning-scope/
