MRP

Purpose
Material Requirements Planning (MRP) enables you to plan material requirements for a manufacturing or procurement process. MRP calculates gross requirements for the highest Bill of Materials level based on sales orders and independent demands. It calculates gross requirements at the lowest Bill of Materials levels by carrying down net parent demands through the Bill of Materials structure. The dependent levels might have their own independent demands, such as sales orders and forecasts. The results of the MRP run are recommendations that fulfill gross requirements by taking into consideration the existing stock levels and existing purchase and production orders. The MRP run also takes into account defined planning rules for Order Multiple, Order Interval, and Minimum Order Quantity. Recommendations are back scheduled by the defined lead time to arrive at the requirement dates for their own components.

most transactions start with 2 Letters. As an example:

Material Group Number and description of the material group. A material group comprises several materials or services having the same attributes. Use If you enter parts of the description or the number of the material group, the system finds the relevant group or suggests several for you to choose from. Example You have created the following material groups: Material group 011 112 113 Description

Office materials PC monitors PC hard disks Advertising and 911 promotional gifts If you enter PC, the system will suggest the material groups '112' and '113' for you to choose from, because their descriptions

Definition: material group Logistics - General (LO) A grouping of materials and services according to their characteristics. Examples: Ladies' wear Office supplies Beverages Maintenance work

Requirement Urgency Is used to prioritize material requisitions in detail. In Customizing, you assign specific requirement urgency groups to requirement urgencies and therefore define how the system determines the overall priority of a material requirement by means of the requirement urgency group and organizational priority. You can assign the requirement urgency in purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and reservations at item level. Depending on the requirement urgency you assigned, the system determines the requirement priority (overall priority) of a material requirement. This also applies to purchase requisitions and reservations that are implemented as requirement coverage elements within requirements planning. The requirements themselves are not prioritized. Subsequent changes to the priorities do not result in requirements planning being carried out again for the relevant materials. Controlling Area Uniquely identifies a controlling area.

The controlling area is the highest organizational unit in Controlling. Use Whether controlling area and company code are in a 1:1 relationship or a 1:n relationship, the number of posting periods in both controlling area and company code(s) must be identical. However, special periods may vary.

Definition: cost center Controlling (CO) An organizational unit within a controlling area that represents a defined location of cost incurrence. The definition can be based on: Functional requirements Allocation criteria Physical location Responsibility for costs IS Retail (IS-R) Part of a company seen as a separate area of responsibility, location or cost-accounting entity. Place at which costs occur.

Definition: WBS element Material Requirements Planning (PP-MRP) Individual structural element in a work breakdown structure (WBS) representing the hierarchical organization of an R/3 project. Describes either a concrete task or a partial one that can

be further subdivided. Definition: sales order Sales and Distribution (SD) A customer request to the company for delivery of goods or services at a certain time. The request is received by a sales area that is then responsible for fulfilling the contract. Distribution Indicator for Multiple Account Assignment Indicates how the quantity and value of this purchase order item are apportioned among the individual account assignment items: On a progressive quantity fill-up basis Proportional to the planned quantity distribution Example 100 pieces of a material were ordered for various cost centers, 50 pieces for cost center A, 40 pieces for cost center B, and 10 pieces for cost center C. A partial delivery of 70 pieces was posted for this purchase order. The system can distribute this quantity as follows: ordered 50 pcs 40 pcs 10 pcs Total 100 pcs cost proportion fill-up center al basis basis A B C 35 pcs 28 pcs 7 pcs Total 70 pcs 50 pcs 20 pcs 0 pcs Total 70 pcs

Account Assignment Category Specifies whether accounting for an item is to be effected via an auxiliary account (such as a cost center). Use The account assignment category determines which account assignment data (such as cost center, account number and so on) is necessary for the item. Item Category in Purchasing Document Key defining how the procurement of a material or service item is controlled. Use The item category determines the field selection and whether any additional data screens are shown. In addition, it determines whether a goods receipt or invoice receipt is to follow. The following list contains the item categories defined in the standard SAP R/3 System: Standard Consignment Subcontracting Third-party Stock transfer Service Material unknown Material group Text

Examples In the standard SAP R/3 System, an item of the category "standard" requires goods receipts and invoice receipts. By contrast, invoice receipts are not allowed for items of the category "consignment". With the item category "subcontracting", a screen is displayed containing the components provided or to be provided. With the item category "third-party", a dialog box appears in which you can enter the delivery address. (This box does not appear for requisitions). With the item category "service", screens are displayed on which you can create and set up a hierarchical structure for detailed service specifications. Price Unit Specifies how many units of the purchase order price unit the price is valid for. Use Invoices are created using price units and purchase order price units which constitute the basis for value postings. They can be stored in the purchasing info record. Example A material or commodity (for example, oil) can be ordered by the liter, but the vendor's invoice shows a price of 2 dollars per kilogram. You enter 10 l as the order quantity and order unit, but specify 2 dollars per kg as purchase order price and purchase order price unit. In addition, you enter the conversion factor "order unit -> purchase order price unit" (for example 2 l per 1 kg) in the

"details" data of the purchase order item. A purchase requisition is a request sent to the purchasing department to procure goods or services. It is originated and approved by the department requiring the goods or services. Typically, it contains a description and quantity of the goods or services to be purchased,preferred make, a required delivery date, account number and the amount of money that the purchasing department is authorized to spend for the goods or services. Often, the names of suggested supply sources are also included. A profit center is a part of a corporation that directly adds to its profit. Overview A profit center is a section of a company treated as a separate business. Thus profits or losses for a profit center are calculated separately SAP SD Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked SD Interview Questions. In R/3 you can represent a company's structure by defining and assigning corporate structure elements. What is the purpose of doing that? Enterprise organization diagram. Chart showing the organizational structure of an enterprise, its organization units and how they are related. A combined structure can be created from the point of view of accounting, MM, SD. This structure forms a framework in which all business transactions can be processed. Which three organizational elements make up a sales area and

briefly explain their function? Sales organization: An organizational unit that sells and distributes products, negotiates terms of sale, and is responsible for these transactions. Distribution channel: Channel through which salable materials or services reach customers. Typical distribution channels include wholesale, retail and direct sales. You can assign a distribution channel to one or more sales organizations. Division: Product groups can be defined for a wide-ranging spectrum of products. For every division you can make customerspecific agreements on, for example, partial deliveries, pricing and terms of payment. Within a division you can carry out statistical analyses or set up separate marketing. Name the three internal organizational elements within a sales organization and briefly explain their function. Sales Office. Geographical aspects of the organization in business development and sales are defined using the term sales office. A sales office can be considered as a subsidiary. Sales offices are assigned to sales areas. If you enter a sales order for a sales office within a certain sales area, the sales office must be assigned to that area. Sales Group. The staff of a sales office may be subdivided into sales groups. For example, sales groups can be defined for individual divisions. Salespersons. Individual personnel master records are used to manage data about salespersons. You can assign a sales person to a sales group in the personnel master record. What does the term "business area" refer to and how can it be used? Business Area. The system posts costs and revenue according to the business area. The business area can be equivalent to the :sales area (if the

accounts are to be posted according to sales) plant/division (if the accounts are to be posted according to products) The business area is defined in Customizing for Sales. o Business area. A unit in an enterprise, grouping product and market combinations as homogeneously as possible for the purpose of developing unified business policy. o Financial Accounting (FI). A business area is an organizational unit within financial accounting which represents a separate area of operations or responsibilities within an organization. Financial accounting transactions can be allocated to a specific business area. Briefly explain the relationship between sales organizations and company codes. Many to One. What is the central organizational element in purchasing? Purchasing Organization. Explain the relationship between sales organizations and plants. Many to Many. Explain the relationship between sales organizations, plants and company codes. Many to Many to One. Can one business area be assigned to several company codes? Which (sub) module of SAP could make business areas obsolete? Yes in CO . What is a credit control area? What relationship exists between credit control areas and company codes? Credit control area. Organizational unit in an organization that specifies and checks credit limits for customers. A credit control area can include one or more company codes. It is not possible to assign a company code to more than one credit control areas.

Which organizational element is central in shipping? Give a definition of it. Shipping Point: Organizational unit at a fixed location that carries out shipping activities. A shipping point could, for example, be a company's mail department or a plant's rail depot. Each delivery is processed by only one shipping point. Give a definition of plant (in SAP). Organizational unit within Logistics, serving to subdivide an enterprise according to production, procurement, maintenance, and materials planning aspects. A plant is a place where either materials are produced or goods and services provided. Classification: Business object Structure: A plant can assume a variety of roles: As a maintenance plant, it includes the maintenance objects that are spatially located within this plant. The maintenance tasks that are to be performed are specified within a maintenance planning plant. As a retail or wholesale site, it makes merchandise available for distribution and sale. As a rule, the plant is the organizational unit for material valuation. The preferred shipping point for a plant is defined as the default shipping point, which depends on the shipping condition and the loading condition. For the placement of materials in storage (stock put-away), a storage location is assigned to a plant. The storage location depends on the storage condition and the stock placement situation. The business area that is responsible for a valuation area is determined as a function of the division. As a rule, a valuation area corresponds to a plant.

Can you assign two different sales organization to the same company code? Yes. To what do you assign distribution channels and divisions? Sales Organizations. What are the highest organizational units in SD, MM.PP,FI,CO? SD: Sales Organizations. M: Plant PP: Plant FI: Company Code CO: Controlling Area Can you further subdivide a plant? If yes into what? A plant can be subdivided into storage locations, allowing stocks of materials to be broken down according to predefined criteria (e.g., location and materials planning aspects). A plant can be subdivided into locations and operational areas. Subdivision into locations takes geographical criteria into account, whereas subdivision into operational areas reflects responsibilities for production. Can a sales organization sell from a plant belonging to a different company code? Yes. How many shipping points can you assign to a plant? Many. How many shipping points can you assign to a sales organization? None. If you have a warehouse management system active, to what would you assign the warehouse number? Plant & Storage Location. Sales and Distribution - Transfer of Requirements The MRP department is informed about the quantities and deadlines by which incoming orders should be

delivered. The system checks the availability of the goods based on the requested delivery date of the customer and creates MRP records which contain all necessary information for passing on to planning. It ensures that the goods are available in time for the delivery. Materials planning transfers the reported requirements and creates orders or purchase requisitions from them etc. For controlling transfer of requirements, you have to carry out the following steps: 1. Each requirement type has to be allocated to one requirement class only.2. The transfer of requirements must be switched on at requirements class level, the sales documents at schedule line level.3. You must define a check group. It is possible to have this check group proposed for the initial creation of a material master record.4. Note that a plant must exist for transfer of requirements to be carried out at document item level. OVZG - Requirement class It specifies the following points: - whether an availability check and a transfer of requirements is carried out for a transaction (for sales documents, fine tuning using the schedule line category is possible),- whether the requirements are relevant for MRP,- the allocation indicator from the sales view which controls the settlement of customer requirements with requirements - whether an item is to be settled to an auxiliary account assignment,- the settlement profile,- the results analysis key. (Use transaction SM30 for V_* configuration)OVZH - Requirements typeV_TVEPZ_V Assignment of requirement type to TransactionV_TVEP_V Schedule line category OVZ2 - Define Checking GroupV_TMVFU - Define the checking group that the system proposes when you create a new material master record. You can overwrite the default value for the checking group in the material master record. Define whether the Material can be used at which Sales and Distribution process Here you define how the system responds when entering a sales and distribution document with this material in the different Sales

and Distribution Process Flow.. You can use the material status, for example, to prevent orders from being entered for parts to be discontinued. OR To temporary block the creation of Sales Order for a certain materials. Set the material status parameters in transaction SM30, Table Views V_TVMS. Click Maintain and double click into the Materials Status code. You can set three types of response for each Sales and Distribution process :1. no dialog 2. warning when entering the document 3. error message (that is, the sales and distribution document cannot be entered on the basis of the material status) Define Tax Determination Rules You specify the valid tax types in transaction OVK1. More than one tax type can be defined for a country by defining the sequence. The SAP System determines the taxes automatically within pricing. In the standard SAP R/3 System, the elements of tax calculation are predefined (for example, tax condition type "MWST" for taxes on sales and purchases). Assign the plant for Tax Determination in OX10, using the country key, the SAP System

recognizes which tax type is valid for a plant and thus which taxes are relevant when creating an SD document. Define the Customer Taxes in OVK3, you will maintain the tax code in Customer Master. Define the Material Taxes in OVK4, which will then be maintain in Material Master. For example :MWST GST 0 Tax Exempt MWST GST 1 Liable for Taxes Now, you define the Tax Determination in VK12. VK12 - Domestic Taxes/Export Taxes Condition Type MWST Customer Taxes Material Taxes Rate Taxes 0 0 0% 0 1 0% 1 0 0% 1 1 9% In this example, if both the Customer Master and Material Master Tax code is 1, Tax will be included when you create the Sales Order. Link Between SAP SD, MM & FI The link between SD and MM :1. When you create sales order in SD, all the details of the items are copied from Material master of MM. 2. MRP and availability check related data is also taken from MM although you control this data in SD also. 3. While you create inbound/outbound delivery with reference to a sales order, the shipping point determination takes place with the help of the loading group, plant data, shipping conditions etc. This

also refers to Material Master. 4. The material which you are entering in a sales order must be extended to the sales area of your sales order/customer otherwise you cannot transact with this material. There are many such links between SD and MM. Now the link between SD and FI :1. Whenever you create a delivery with reference to a sales order, goods movement takes place in the background. eg. In case of standard sales order, you create an outbound goods delivery to the customer. Here movement 601 takes place. This movement is configured in MM. Also, this movement hits some G/L account in FI. Every such movement of good s hits some G/L account. 2. The accounts posting in FI is done with reference to the billing documents (invoice, debit note, credit note etc) created in SD. Thus this is a link between SD and FI 3. Tax determination: In case of a tax determination also, there is a direct link between SD and MM How to do configuration for Credit Management function? Settings for determining the credit control area of a document. The settings of items 1 - 4 are taken into account according to their priority. The credit control area found is stored in field VBAK-KKBER. 1. Transaction OB38 Check which credit control area is assigned to the company code. Company code: Credit control area: 2. Transaction OVFL Check which credit control area is assigned to the sales area. Sales area: Credit control area:

3. Transaction XD02 or VD02 Check which credit control area is assigned to the payer. Payer: Credit control area: 4. Transaction SE37 Is user exit EXIT_SAPV45K_001 being used? 5. Transaction OBZK For the settings under items 2 - 4, field "All company codes" must be marked in Transaction OB45, or the credit control area must be entered under the relevant company code in table T001CM of the credit control areas allowed. Company code: Credit control areas allowed: 6. Settings for the credit checks 7. Transaction OVAK Which settings do exist for the sales document type used? Sales document: Check credit: Credit group: 8. Transaction OVAD Which settings do exist for the delivery type used? Delivery type: Credit group for delivery: Credit group for goods issue: 9. Transaction OB01 Credit management/Change risk category Definition of the risk category for each credit control area. This risk category can be assigned to a credit account by using Transaction FD32.

10. Transaction OVA8 Here, the individual credit checks for key fields o credit control area o risk category o credit group are set. Take these key fields from the above settings and go to the detail screen. In particular, check whether fields "Reaction" and "Status/block" are set correctly. To carry out follow-up actions in case of a credit block, the credit check status must be set (field "Status/block"). 11. Transaction FD32 Credit master data for the payer of the relevant document. Credit account: Credit limit: Risk category: Currency: 12. Settings for updating the credit values Update of the credit values is required for the limit check (static or dynamic credit limit check). 13. Transaction OVA7 Update of the credit value is active for the corresponding item type if the check box is marked. This field corresponds to field "Active receivable" in Transaction VOV7. Item type: Active receivable: 14. Transaction V/08, Pricing In the pricing procedure used for pricing, subtotal "A" must be entered in a line for determining the credit value (mark the pricing procedure and double click on "Control").Usually, the net value plus taxes is used. This way the system is determined to use this subtotal for

credit pricing. The credit price is stored in field VBAP-CMPRE and used for update and credit check. You can find the used pricing procedure of the order under "Item -> Condition -> Analysis". Pricing procedure: Line with subtotal = 'A': 15. Transaction OB45 Which update group (field "Update") do you use in the relevant credit control area? The default setting is "12". If you use another update group, check whether this is fine with you. If you open an OSS message, please tell us the alternative update group. Credit control area: Update: 16. Transaction OMO1 Which kind of update did you choose for structure S066? In any case, "Synchronous update (1)" has to be chosen as the kind of update. All other settings will lead to errors. SAP FAQ (SD) Master Data Q: Some materials have been blocked for procurement and production. Even though deletion flag is set for a material/plant level, the order can be still entered ( with a warning message). Is there a way to block such transactions for a material flagged for deletion? A: Sales Status field in the sales organization view of the material master may be used to block any transaction for the material. Q: We can define our own exchange rate types and use them instead of the defaulted types, 'M', 'B' and 'G'. How can we overwrite default types in SD? A: Exchange rate gets copied from the customer master record. Exchange rate types are to be maintained for the customer in the

sales screen of the customer master record.Shipping Q: The PL00 condition is fine in delivery. But when we try to print to either the screen or printer, an error V1032 occurs. Why? A: In order to use the Packing list PL00 (packing slip in delivery) you must do 'Packing' in the delivery note (edit->packing) Q: we have to enter a shipping point while creating a delivery. Is it possible to create delivery without shipping points? A: When you are releasing a sales order, choose Sales document -> Subsequent functions-> Create delivery, then the shipping point will be brought in from the sales order. In all other scenarios you have to key in the shipping point. The above described scenario will only work if all items on the sales order are to be shipped from the same shipping point. Billing Q: SAP allows a non-inventory item and an inventory item to be in the same document till delivery but splits at the time of creation of billing document. Can we combine a non-inventory item with an inventory item in one invoice? Can we treat it as a value item in sales order so that it is priced and then make it as a text item in delivery documents so that it appears in the same invoice and does not split? A1: Make the non-stock material deliverable, but not pickable. Both items will carry into the delivery, and therefore appear on the same invoice. A2: Change the copy rule for orders->invoices and deliveries>invoices to specify that invoice combination is permitted. However note that for system to create combined invoices, PO number, payment terms, sales organization, and distribution channel must be identical. Else undesirable combinations may be created by the system.

Pricing Conditions Q: It is impossible to price at the material level (matnr) , when a material has a pricing reference (mvke-pmatn) set up against it in the master data. Pricing always look for the pref, even if a price is set up against the material and not the pref. How can we price by material and pref? A: The field used to look up at the price is defined in Access sequence. You may find a step with PMATN as material number. If you insert a step with MATNR then the system will first look for the material, if not found (use the exclusion tick box) it will look for the pref. Customizing Q: We generated a new condition table. Assigned the condition to access sequence. Created a condition record. Access sequence is assigned to the output type. But when we create a billing document, output screen comes up blank for the output type. When we look up Determination Analysis, we get an error "Note 524 Access not made (Initialized Field)". What else is required to be done? A: Assign output determination procedure to the header of the document and the output type. Q: How can we set up to have the VAT# be accepted in the ShipTo Master File Data Control screen? A: IMG->Fin. Acct.>AR and AP ->Customer acct>Master Record -> Prepare to Create Customer-> Define Acct. Group. Q: We want to explode Bill of Material automatically at time of Order entry and explode an Equipment BOM in the sales order. What are the setting required? A: Use an item category that is configured for bills of material for having a sales BOM to explode automatically. Standard SAP item categories are : TAQ - Pricing and inventory control take place at the BOM header

level TAP - Pricing and inventory control take place at the BOM item level These can be automatically derived using the item category groups ERLA and LUMF, respectively. Q: How can we make the Customer Group 1 (or 2, 3, 4, 5) a mandatory field? A: Logistic General-> Logistics Basic Data: Business Partners -> Customers -> Control -> Define account groups and field selection for customer Choose Customer Acct. GR. (double-click). -> Field Status: Sales data (double click) -> sales (double click) .Check the radio button against Customer Gr as REQ. ENTRY. Save the settings to make customer GR entry mandatory . Q: Is there an user exit to copy the data into planning table? A: Use user exit MCP20001 and include ZXSOPU01. Others Q: We get a report screen: "Goods issue: Problem Log" during the delivery process when activating Post Goods Issue button. We want to include our own error message to this list if the selected batch is not on a customer defined table. What is the best way? A: Try User exit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE Difference between Condition Type Please explain the difference between Ek01 ( Actual Cost) and EK02 Calculated Cost. These are the condition type that will display the results of the unit costing for certain type of sales document. EK01 : If you use this condition type, the result of unit costing is issued to the first position on the conditions screen for the item. The value can be used as a basis for price determination.

EK02: If you use this condition type, the result of unit costing is simply a statistical value which you can compare with the price. Please note the following points : 1) The condition type must have condition category 'Q' (costing). 2) The condition type must agree with the condition type defined for unit costing in the pricing procedure. Q. I have a customer who is being offered two discounts ie k007 and k005, now I want to exclude k007 for the next 2 orders or so? I have set the exclusion indicator for the condition type, but still the condition is being accepted when I create a sales order. Am I missing something, how do I do it? Need to change the validity of the condition record for the condition type K007 defining it not valid for that particular 2 months. And also the settings of the Requirements as it is correct that it overrules the exclusion. Accumulate the amount of condition types in accounting document To accumulate the amount of condition types in accounting document without affecting the pricing display in billing document. As an illustration :ZPXX 3500 ZDXX 1000ZWXX 500(all condition types are shown separately in pricing view) Journal: Dr Vendor 2000 Cr Sales 2000 (ZPXX - ZDXX - ZWXX) One way to do it is :Mark the condition types you want to group as statistical and remove the account assignment key.

Create a subtotal in your pricing procedure that will add them together and put in the account assignment key for it. This way the individual components will still display on your pricing screen but FI will only get one posting. Determine sales price with shipping point (Scenario) You are trying to use shipping point as a key field (with sales org. distribution channel and ship-to party together) to determine the sales price. You created a condition table with the above key fields, and maintained the relevant setting (access sequence, condition type and pricing procedure). There is an error message in the sales order pricing analysis ("access not made" in the shipping point field). In the access sequence, you found that the shipping point field's document structure is KOMK. Can you put to item level field in the condition table and access sequence? Structure KOMK refers to header of the sales order, but shipping point of course is on item level. You'll have to do some settings to reach your goal, it is possible. Step 1 Append structure KOMP. Do this by changing through SE11 the table KOMPAZ. This is the include for structure KOMP. Add a component e.g. ZZVSTEL with component type VSTEL. Save, activate. If you want to make more points, assign search help H_TVST to the component. Ask a programmer if you don't understand this part. Step 2 Change user exit MV45AFZZ. Say there that field ZVSTEL should be filled with information from your shipping point. Do this under part FORM

USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP. The coding should be like tkomp-zzvstel = vbap-vstel. Save, generate. Step 3 Make a new table as you did before, but first maintain your new field in Condition: allowed fields. When you create your new table you will see you have two shipping points. With the button technical view you can check which one ZZVSTEL or VSTEL. Step 4 Finish with the steps you did before. That was ok.
