MRP area material to be excluded in Plant level MRP

[Former Member]

Dear PP expert,

Business requirement is

MRP will be run on plant for all the RM , PM & SFG on Daily basis

For all the other Engeneering and consumable items we need to run the MRP on MRP area level on weekly basis

I created the MRP area and it was assigned to all the ENGG. & CONS items. In MRP 1 view MRP type is ND. In the MRP area MRP type is VB.

But when I run the MRP on plant level, system is considering all the MRP area materials also into the account and its creating the PR.

How to exclude the MRP area material(s) in the plant level MRP run.

Regards,

Ismail,

How to exclude the MRP area material(s) in the plant level MRP run.

You don't, unless you use enhancement.

For you business requirement, where you wish to use MRP areas to support different groupings, and different MRP run times/frequencies, you assign all of your products to MRP areas, one for 'ENG/CONS' materials, and one for 'everything but ENG/CONS' materials.

I really wonder if the business benefit (prevent MRP from being executed for ENG/CONS materials 6 days out of 7) is balanced by the cost/effort involved. Many companies just run MRP for everything in a plant. Daily. ENG/CONS materials are along for the ride.

If it is, however, important to you, there is a userexit available to modify MRP selection criteria. Speak to your developers.

Dear DB,

Thanks for your reply,

But I need one clarification that in the main screen of MRP view 1, the MRP type is ND. Then why it is involving in the plant level MRP.
