Dear PP Gurus ,

Can you suggest a report that details the changes in the requirements generated in the output of the two successive MRP runs .

Kindly let us know .Changes may be 1. Quantity changes 2. rescheduling dates 3.addition /deletion of a new BOm component/product.

We would be interested if only the changed items are flagged.

Ram,

If you are running MRP with NETT change, then system will only run MRP for those items that have undergone some change namely date changes, material master MRP changes, BOM changes etc...

In short MRP will run for any change that resulted in an entry in planning file.

So after the MRP run at plant level you can go to Tcode MD06 ( MRP LIST ) & get a list of materials that had MRP run on a particular date.

This has always been an excellent tool for planners to analyse MRP, read exception messages, take action to avaoid delays & know well in advance where shortages can arise. One can analyse shortages by Days of supply etc...

I am sure you will find this useful. It is a bit cumersome in the begining. Once user sees the amount of information he gets by going through this MRP list he begins to like it like never before.

Good Luck.

thanks,

Ram

Thank you very much for your reply .MD06 doesnt seem to fulfill our direct requirement . Wonder if there are some options that you know that fulfill our requirement.The option of taking a list and then storing it in excel for comparison with any subsequent MRP results was/is open to us .

However we are looking for a single T code entry transaction where we can get the results display for materials in previous and present MRP.

The requirement is ...

In case there are any changes in BOM, Quantity ,addition ,deletion then the suppy chain team needs to compare the effects of the beginning of Month MRP with a later MRP so as to change/fine tune their PO etc.

Kindly let me know .. Feel free to give alternatuive solution or workaround if the main requirement is not possible.

Ram,

Sorry to say but I still think MD06 has all your answers. It gives you MRP list by each material's run date.

It has option for each suppy chain team member ( MRP controller) to insert processing indicator for materials which have gone through shortage analysis. MRP displays if any new exception messages have been generated since the last MRP run by inserting a NEW exception indicator in the MRP list

"An exception message is treated as 'new', it it has not yet been created for an MRP element.

To differentiate between 'old' and 'new' exception messages, you must set the processing indicator for an MRP list. Then in the next planning run for each MRP element, the system checks whether the exception message also existed in the last planning run or whether a 'new' exception message was created "

As you would be aware this is the Best Practise Method used by large organisations to keep looking for potential shortages. Just my 2 cents...

However as you mentioned Downloading to excel & keeping track in Excel is the other option available. It looks more cumbersome but certain users always like excel better than SAP. Good Luck.

Thanks,

Ram

The only solution is perhaps a workaround of keeping MRP lists in excel

Ram,

There is no possibility to get a report like that in Standard SAP. MRP results are not stored for every run, meaning it would just upend the records and not insert new records in table.

What are you trying to achieve?
