How to have MRP create schedule lines for Bulk Materials?

[former_member784441]

Dear SAP Experts,

I have a very peculiar requirement from my customer and I would love to get some ideas/hints from here.

We need MRP to generate schedule lines for a Bulk Material. It should not get backflushed in Production Order because we also need the material to be consumed directly on Cost Center. How to do this?

Also, is there any way to avoid backflushing and have it consumed directly for a 'Non Bulk' Material? Because this is our main requirement, it doesnt matter if material is flagged as 'Bulk' in MM or not. I appreciate and welcome any ideas on this.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for the reply Brahmankar. I need to generate schedule lines against Scheduling Agreement, because we need to send forecast to the supplier. Single POs are of no use in this case.

Hello,

Define these material as bulk material and use consumption base planning like reorder level.

If stock falls below the reorder point system generate the purchase requisition for a bulk material.

And you can post it's consumptions to the cost center.
