MRP run creates schedule line quantity more than the SA target quantity.

[Ber1]

Hi Gurus,

I am having an issue during MRP Run. The run creates schedule line quantity more than the target quantity in scheduling agreement.

I understand that to restrict the MRP run to stop creating schedule line if the Maximum quantity in MEQ1 quota arrangement is fulfilled.

The issue here is that this solution is not applied to my client since they create scheduling agreement (same material and vendor) more than once in a week or in a month and target quantity varies.

I also understand that changing W to E to the 06 067 "schedule qty greater than target qty" will only works during manually created schedule line and doesn't work during MRP Run.

Hope there is a way. Is there anybody can give a solution on this?

Regards,

Soledad

Hello @Ber1 

Target quantity check looks like a missing functionality in MRP.

Note 3244487 - MRP creates schedule line with quantity more than Schedule Agreement target quantity.

Symptom
MRP creates schedule line with quantity more than Schedule Agreement target quantity.

Cause
It is standard behavior that MRP will not take target quantity into account with below considerations.

1. The scheduling agreement for the update is only read during the update. The decision on the type of order proposal has already been made at this point.
If reading target quantity in the decision on the type of order proposal, the system would have to read the scheduling agreement again a second time at an earlier stage. This would cause performance losses.

2. If the target quantity is exceeded, this could possibly be a reason for renegotiating the scheduling agreement with the vendor. It is certainly no reason to change the vendor. It is therefore not a problem if the scheduling agreement is scheduled beyond the target quantity.

Note 3327584 - FAQ MRP Sourcing Guidance

2.5.1. Does MRP consider the schedule agreement/contract target quantity?
No, according to the SAP Notes 39129 and 83343 the quota arrangement functionality should be used to achieve the desired behavior.

I guess you could address that with a custom enhancement implemented with the BAdI MD_MODIFY_SOURCE for Classic MRP or PPH_MRP_SOURCING_BADI for MPR Live.
