Executing MRP

MRP can be run at:

- Single Item single level
- Single Item multi level
- Plant level
- Multiple plants in defined sequence
5.1 Single Item Single level:
Single Item Single level MRP system runs MRP only for the material that is entered in the initial screen. System
does not plan for lower level materials. Since, MRP does not plan for lower level materials, it runs all too
quickly. This is useful for quick analysis of problems.
Call transaction MD03 and enter following data in the initial screen:
- Material
- Plant
- Processing key: NETCH
- Create Purchase Request: 2
- Delivery Schedules: 2
- Create MRP List: 1
- Planning Mode: 2
- Scheduling: 2
- Planning date: Current date

5.2 Single Item Multi Level Planning:

Single Item Multi level MRP system runs MRP for the material entered in the initial screen and all the
dependent requirements for that material. This is useful when some changes are made to the requirements of
some materials such as forecast changes, new Sales orders entered etc. and results are required urgently.
Call transaction MD02 and enter following data in the initial screen:
- Material
- Plant
- Processing key: NETCH
- Create Purchase Request: 2
- Delivery Schedules: 2
- Create MRP List: 1
- Planning Mode: 2
- Scheduling: 2
Check the box Also plan unchanged components
After entering data as above, press Enter threetimes.
After the MRP is executed system displays the statistics of the MRP run.

5.3 Plant Level:

When MRP is executed at Plant Level, the MRP plans all the materials in the plant that are relevant to MRP.
Depending on the Processing key selected, MRP is executed for either all the materials or only for the materials
that have undergone changes that impact procurement proposals after the last MRP run.
Call transaction MD01 and enter values in the following fields:

- Plant
- Processing key:
- NETCH for executing MRP on materials that have under gone changes after the last MRP
- NETPL for executing MRP within a defined Planning Horizon
- NEUPL for executing MRP for all the materials in the plant irrespective of changes
- Create purchase request: 2
- Schedule lines: 2
- Create MRP list: 1
- Planning Mode: 2
- Scheduling: 2
- Planning date: Current date
After entering data as above, press Enter threetimes.
After the MRP is executed system displays the statistics of the MRP run.

5.4 Multiple Plants in a defined Sequence.

MRP can be run for multiple plants in a defined sequence. This is useful in situations where there is
interdependence of supply of material between numbers of plants.
MRP must be run first on the receiving plant and then on supplying plant.
Call transaction MD01 and enter values in the following fields:
- Scope of Planning: USC
- Processing key:
- NETCH for executing MRP on materials that have under gone changes after the last MRP
- NETPL for executing MRP within a defined Planning Horizon
- NEUPL for executing MRP for all the materials in the plant irrespective of changes
- Create purchase request: 2
- Schedule lines: 2
- Create MRP list: 1
- Planning Mode: 2
- Scheduling: 2
- Planning date: Current date
- Select check box Parallel processing

After entering values as above, press Enter three times and that will trigger MRP run.
After the MRP is executed system displays the statistical result of MRP run.
