I have a requirement to fulfill the needs to generate a collective PR for requirements pending for next 45 days. PIRs are maintained for around 90 days based on the forecast. Materials are ordered based on their ABC category. For all A class materials PR generation is dynamic. For all B class materials the requirement needs to be clubbed and a single collective PR is required for 45 days and for all C class materials one PR for requirement pending for 6 months, There is no PP here and all the materials are externally procured and sold.
Solution:
Well, I can only think of the lot-sizing procedure in MRP 1 view.
You can configure your own lot-size to accommodate your requirement.
You need the new period lot sizes for the materials B and C classes.
Please go to customization transaction OMI4 then create new lot sizes as below and assign to the material master.
Class B:
Lot size for short-term period.
Lot-sizing procedure P Period lot-sizing procedure No. of periods 45
Lot-size indicator T Daily lot size
Class C:
Lot size for short-term period.
Lot-sizing procedure P Period lot-sizing procedure No. of periods 6
Lot-size indicator M Monthly lot size
Question:
The client has an requirement as follows.
For a certain X material system has to generate PR after every two months for 100 KG. Please guide how it can be achieved using MRP or any other functionality.
Solution:
Maintain the MRP data for the material and maintain the MRP profile for the material as fixed quantity and then whenever you run the MRP for the Material system will create a firm 100 quantity, you can convert that for creation of PR.
To include the Period factor:
Maintain the MRP Type as VB and lot Size as FX and maintain the fixed quantity. MDBT Create a variant and give the transaction code MD02 and maintain the plant & create purchase req. as 1 and schedule it for every two months, then automatically it will create for every two months.
This is the way you can achieve it.
