MRP Type VB

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have an issue. we have created a sales order for a material which MRP type in material master is VB-Manual reorder point planning. When we are checking it in MD04 its not reflecting the same in MD04. when we are changing the MRP type to Pd its coming in MD04

Please state the difference between VB and PD and why its not reflecting in MD04 in case of VB, though its going for availabilty check material is in our stock.

Thanks

Dear,

Materials planning (MD01, MD02, MD03 and so on): Reservations and other future requirements (for example, sales orders) are not included in the planning run for materials planned by reorder point planning (MRP type VB or VM).

Planning is carried out based on consumption: if the stock level falls below the reorder point after a goods issue, the material is flagged for planning. Sales orders are not taken into consideration in the planning file entry nor for materials planning.

Solution,

You should use one of the MRP processes (for example, MRP type 'PD') or MRP types are 'V1' and 'V2'.

You can make settings in OMDQ so that the system takes 'external' requirements (sales orders and manual reservations) into account in Customizing for MRP. Therefore, in reorder point procedures, you can set the system to consider sales orders

For more details refer the OSS Note 37697.

Hi Brahmankar

I have changed the parameter to 2 still its not reflecting in MD04. Do we need to do more configurations.

Thanks

Dear,

As I have told you please refer the OSS Note 37697 and then come back if you have any query. Note has also given the display of reqt in MD04 and M05.

Hi,

Is there any other way to determine it in MD04 without changing the configuration. As per me sales order is a firmed order, hence when we are creating it for the material with MRP type Vb it has to come in MD04.

Thanks

Dear,

There is no way to update it by changing the config

The MRP types have the settings as VB or VM you must enter '2' for the indicator 'Incl. ext. requirements" Or create new MRP type by Coping VB to ZB with this setting.

Or you can carry out modification by using the BADI MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA

Hope clear to you.

Hi There

Enable the follow as "2"

In SPRO- materials management-Consumption Based Planning-Check MRP Types-Select VB- Include External Requirements-

Hope it helps you,,

Reorder point planning with external requirements

Indicates whether an external requirement (sales order or manual reservation) is included in the net requirements calculation for reorder point planning.

If yes, you can decide whether it is to be included: in the complete planning horizon, or only within the replenishment lead time.

Thanks
