Sachin,

In VB we need to enter Re-order point quantity in the MRP view of the material master, whereas in VM system calculates the Re-Order point itself based on certain definations made.

For more details SAP help is the best place.

Hi

In VB, the triggering of planned order is based on the stock. If the stock is less than re-order point. Then only procurement proposal will be raised. Before than no procument proposal even though you have P.I.R ( customer demand ).

Once the procurement proposal is created.

1) Plan order = Max stock level-present stock if the P.I.R quantity is less than this quantity.

2) Plan order = P.I.R - stock .if the P.I .R is more case 1 ) scnario.

In VM

Reorder point will be calculated by 2 methods

method 1 ) Max stock leve - Stock = X

Method 2 ) P.I.R + reorder point-stock = Y.

Plan order will be raised for either X qty or Y qty whic ever is >.

This will try to keep minimum stock of reorder level.

I hope this will be use ful. Please reward points if use ful
