MRP Managed materials supplied by another plant

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have two plants. One plant is a main distribution plant and supplies inventory to other plants. In one plant (Store) they procure some inventory from local vendors and some inventory is supplied by the main store (Plant).

I must set up MRP to manage all materials which is no problem, however, when MRP generates a supply document it cannot differentiate between the Main Store and the Local Vendor.

Either all documents will be Purchase Requisitions - for the local Vendor or they will be Planned Orders to be converted to STO's, but then this step is manual.

How can I set this up in the best way to reduce manual steps?

Thank you kindly

SAP MRP. I have a regulating centre (it does not sell), which proportionally distributes quantities to the rest of the centres or delegations according to the needs of each centre.
Each plant runs its own MRP, but if the requirement does not reach a percentage of the lot size, the rest of the requirement is provided by the regulating plant.
The buffer plant procures proportionally equally to the rest of the plants, when they do not reach the next lot size. Example: Lot size 50, requirement of 7, as it does not reach a set percentage, those 7 are supplied by the buffer plant, and so on in the rest of the plants.
How can I do this process in SAP MRP?

Thank you for your kindness

Hi,

Check your special procurement key ''40" and check if the issuing plant was assigned together with the special procurement "U" and procurement type "F".

Hello

You can define a special procurement type 40 for your material, so that MRP can generate stock transfers. Also, on the customizing transaction OMD9 you can define your own special procurement type, where the supplying plant is defined.

If you also want to define the issuing storage location, see the following WIKI:

Issuing storage location on stock transfers created by MRP and BAdI MD_EXT_SUP - ERP Manufacturing (...
