MRP

Purpose

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) enables you to plan material requirements for amanufacturing or procurement process.

MRP calculates gross requirements for the highest Bill of Materials level based on sales orders andindependent demands. It calculates gross requirements at the lowest Bill of Materials levels bycarrying down net parent demands through the Bill of Materials structure. The dependent levelsmight 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 intoconsideration the existing stock levels and existing purchase and production orders. The MRP runalso takes into account defined planning rules for Order Multiple, Order Interval, and MinimumOrder 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 havingthe same attributes.

Use

If you enter parts of the description or the number of the materialgroup, the system finds the relevant group or suggests several for you to choose from.

ExampleYou have created the following material groups:

Materialgroup Description

011 Office materials112 PC monitors

113 PC hard disks

911 Advertising and promotional giftsIf you enter PC , the system will suggest the material groups '112'and '113' for you to choose from, because their descriptions


7/29

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 systemdetermines the overall priority of a material requirement by meansof 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 therequirement urgency you assigned, the system determines therequirement priority (overall priority) of a material requirement.

This also applies to purchase requisitions and reservations that areimplemented as requirement coverage elements withinrequirements planning. The requirements themselves are not

prioritized. Subsequent changes to the priorities do not result inrequirements planning being carried out again for the relevantmaterials.

Controlling AreaUniquely identifies a controlling area .


8/29

The controlling area is the highest organizational unit inControlling.

Use

Whether controlling area and company code are in a 1:1relationship 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 adefined 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


9/29

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 itemare 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 piecesfor cost center C.

A partial delivery of 70 pieces was posted for this purchase order.The system can distribute this quantity as follows:

Account Assignment Category

Specifies whether accounting for an item is to be effected via anauxiliary account (such as a cost center ).

UseThe account assignment category determines which accountassignment data (such as cost center, account number and so on) isnecessary for the item.

Item Category in Purchasing Document

Key defining how the procurement of a material or service item iscontrolled.

Use

The item category determines the field selection and whether anyadditional data screens are shown.In addition, it determines whether a goods receipt or invoicereceipt is to follow.

The following list contains the item categories defined in thestandard SAP R/3 System:

Standard Consignment Subcontracting Third-party Stock transfer Service Material unknown Material group

Text


11/29

Examples

In the standard SAP R/3 System, an item of the category"standard" requires goods receipts and invoice receipts. Bycontrast, invoice receipts are not allowed for items of the category"consignment".

With the item category "subcontracting", a screen is displayedcontaining the components provided or to be provided.

With the item category "third-party", a dialog box appears inwhich you can enter the delivery address. (This box does notappear for requisitions).

With the item category "service", screens are displayed on whichyou can create and set up a hierarchical structure for detailedservice 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 priceunits 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 theliter, 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 2dollars per kg as purchase order price and purchase order priceunit.

In addition, you enter the conversion factor "order unit -> purchase order price unit" (for example 2 l per 1 kg) in the


12/29

"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 andapproved by the department requiring the goods or services.Typically, it contains a description and quantity of the goodsor services to be purchased,preferred make, a requireddelivery date, account number and the amount of money thatthe purchasing department is authorized to spend for thegoods or services. Often, the names of suggested supplysources are also included.

SAP SD Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked SD Interview Questions.

In R/3 you can represent a company's structure by defining andassigning corporate structure elements. What is the purpose of doing that?

Enterprise organization diagram. Chart showing the organizationalstructure of an enterprise, its organization units and how they arerelated. 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


13/29

briefly explain their function?

Sales organization: An organizational unit that sells and distributes products, negotiates terms of sale, and is responsible for thesetransactions.

Distribution channel: Channel through which salable materials or services reach customers. Typical distribution channels includewholesale, retail and direct sales. You can assign a distributionchannel to one or more sales organizations.

Division: Product groups can be defined for a wide-rangingspectrum of products. For every division you can make customer-

specific agreements on, for example, partial deliveries, pricing andterms of payment. Within a division you can carry out statisticalanalyses or set up separate marketing.

Name the three internal organizational elements within a salesorganization and briefly explain their function.

Sales Office. Geographical aspects of the organization in businessdevelopment and sales are defined using the term sales office. Asales office can be considered as a subsidiary. Sales offices areassigned to sales areas. If you enter a sales order for a sales officewithin a certain sales area, the sales office must be assigned to thatarea.

15/29

Which organizational element is central in shipping? Give adefinition of it.

Shipping Point: Organizational unit at a fixed location that carriesout shipping activities. A shipping point could, for example, be acompany'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 anenterprise according to production, procurement, maintenance,and materials planning aspects.

A plant is a place where either materials are produced or goodsand services provided.

Classification: Business object

Structure: A plant can assume a variety of roles:As a maintenance plant, it includes the maintenance objects thatare spatially located within this plant. The maintenance tasks thatare 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 materialvaluation.

The preferred shipping point for a plant is defined as the default

shipping point, which depends on the shipping condition and theloading condition.For the placement of materials in storage (stock put-away), astorage location is assigned to a plant. The storage locationdepends on the storage condition and the stock placementsituation.

The business area that is responsible for a valuation area is

determined as a function of the division. As a rule, a valuationarea corresponds to a plant.

Plant & Storage Location. Sales and Distribution - Transfer of

Requirements The MRP department is informed about thequantities and deadlines by which incoming orders should be


17/29

delivered. The system checks the availability of the goods basedon the requested delivery date of the customer and creates MRPrecords which contain all necessary information for passing on to

planning. It ensures that the goods are available in time for thedelivery. Materials planning transfers the reported requirementsand creates orders or purchase requisitions from them etc. For controlling transfer of requirements, you have to carry out thefollowing steps: 1. Each requirement type has to be allocated toone requirement class only.2. The transfer of requirements must beswitched on at requirements class level, the sales documents atschedule line level.3. You must define a check group. It is possible

to have this check group proposed for the initial creation of amaterial master record.4. Note that a plant must exist for transfer of requirements to be carried out at document itemlevel. 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 CheckingGroupV_TMVFU - Define the checking group that the system proposes when you create a new material master record. You canoverwrite the default value for the checking group in the materialmaster record.Define whether the Material can be used at which Sales andDistribution process

Here you define how the system responds when entering a salesand distribution document with this material in the different Sales


18/29

and Distribution Process Flow..

You can use the material status, for example, to prevent ordersfrom being entered for

parts to be discontinued.

OR

To temporary block the creation of Sales Order for a certainmaterials.

Set the material status parameters in transaction SM30, TableViews 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 documentcannot be entered on

the basis of the material status)

Define Tax Determination Rules

You specify the valid tax types in transaction OVK1. More thanone tax type can be defined for a country by defining thesequence.

The SAP System determines the taxes automatically within pricing.

In the standard SAP R/3 System, the elements of tax calculationare predefined(for example, tax condition type "MWST" for taxes on sales and

purchases).

Assign the plant for Tax Determination in OX10, using thecountry key, the SAP System


19/29

recognizes which tax type is valid for a plant and thus which taxesare relevant whencreating an SD document.

Define the Customer Taxes in OVK3, you will maintain the taxcode in Customer Master.

Define the Material Taxes in OVK4, which will then be maintainin Material Master.For example :-

MWST GST 0 Tax ExemptMWST GST 1 Liable for Taxes

Now, you define the Tax Determination in VK12.VK12 - Domestic Taxes/Export TaxesCondition Type MWST

Customer Taxes Material Taxes Rate Taxes0 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 SalesOrder.

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 itemsare copied from Material master of MM.

2. MRP and availability check related data is also taken from MMalthough 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 thehelp of the loading group, plant data, shipping conditions etc. This


20/29

also refers to Material Master.

4. The material which you are entering in a sales order must beextended to the sales area of your sales order/customer otherwiseyou 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 salesorder, goods movement takes place in the background. eg. In caseof standard sales order, you create an outbound goods delivery tothe customer.

Here movement 601 takes place. This movement is configured inMM. Also, this movement hits some G/L account in FI. Everysuch 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 inSD. 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

SAP FAQ (SD)

Master Data Q: Some materials have been blocked for procurement and

production. Even though deletion flag is set for a material/plantlevel, 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 materialmaster may be used to block any transaction for the material.

Q: We can define our own exchange rate types and use theminstead of the defaulted types, 'M', 'B' and 'G'. How can weoverwrite 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


24/29

sales screen of the customer master record.Shipping

Q: The PL00 condition is fine in delivery. But when we try to printto 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 youhave to key in the shipping point. The above described scenariowill only work if all items on the sales order are to be shippedfrom the same shipping point.

Billing

Q: SAP allows a non-inventory item and an inventory item to bein the same document till delivery but splits at the time of creationof billing document. Can we combine a non-inventory item withan inventory item in one invoice? Can we treat it as a value itemin sales order so that it is priced and then make it as a text item indelivery documents so that it appears in the same invoice and doesnot split?

A1: Make the non-stock material deliverable, but not pickable.Both items will carry into the delivery, and therefore appear on thesame 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, POnumber, payment terms, sales organization, and distributionchannel must be identical. Else undesirable combinations may becreated by the system.


25/29

Pricing Conditions

Q: It is impossible to price at the material level (matnr) , when amaterial has a pricing reference (mvke-pmatn) set up against it inthe master data. Pricing always look for the pref, even if a price isset up against the material and not the pref. How can we price bymaterial and pref?A: The field used to look up at the price is defined in Accesssequence. 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 willlook for the pref.Customizing

Q: We generated a new condition table. Assigned the condition toaccess sequence. Created a condition record. Access sequence isassigned to the output type. But when we create a billingdocument, output screen comes up blank for the output type.

When we look up Determination Analysis, we get an error "Note524 Access not made (Initialized Field)". What else is required to

be done?

A: Assign output determination procedure to the header of thedocument and the output type.Q: How can we set up to have the VAT# be accepted in the Ship-To 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

Save the settings to makecustomer 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 thedelivery process when activating Post Goods Issue button. Wewant 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) andEK02 Calculated Cost.

These are the condition type that will display the results of the unitcosting for certain type of sales document.

EK01 :If you use this condition type, the result of unit costing is issued tothe first position on the conditions screen for the item. The valuecan be used as a basis for price determination.


27/29

EK02:If you use this condition type, the result of unit costing is simply astatistical 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 definedfor unit costing in the pricing procedure.

Q. I have a customer who is being offered two discounts ie k007and 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 stillthe condition is being accepted when I create a sales order. Am Imissing something, how do I do it?

Need to change the validity of the condition record for thecondition type K007 defining it not valid for that particular 2months. And also the settings of the Requirements as it is correctthat it overrules the exclusion. Accumulate the amount of condition types in accounting document

To accumulate the amount of condition types in accountingdocument without affecting the pricing display in billingdocument.

As an illustration :-

ZPXX 3500ZDXX 1000-

ZWXX 500-(all condition types are shown separately in pricing view)

Journal:Dr Vendor 2000Cr Sales 2000 (ZPXX - ZDXX - ZWXX)

One way to do it is :-

Mark the condition types you want to group as statistical andremove the account assignment key.


28/29

Create a subtotal in your pricing procedure that will add themtogether and put in the account assignment key for it. This way theindividual components will still display on your pricing screen butFI 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 thesales price.You created a condition table with the above key fields, andmaintained the relevant setting (access sequence, condition typeand 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'sdocument structure is KOMK.Can you put to item level field in the condition table and accesssequence?
