SAP MM MRP Planning Result List

Depending on the creation indicator, the system creates MRP lists during the planning run. These lists contain the planning results for the material. The MRP list always displays the future stock/requirements situation at the time of the last planning run and it also provides a work basis for the MRP controller. The MRP list is stored in the system until it is either deleted manually or replaced by the new list from the next planning run.

Each MRP list is divided into a header and items. In the MRP header material data is recorded, such as the material number, the plant, and MRP parameters, for example. The items, on the other hand, contain information on the individual MRP elements (planned orders, purchase orders, reservations, sales orders, and so on).

In the standard setting, individual columns for the items include the MRP date, MRP element data (for example, the short text, the number, the item, and so on), the key to the exception message, the rescheduling date, receipts and requirements quantities, as well as the available quantity which represents planned warehouse stock. In addition, you can view the start/release and opening date columns by adjusting the width with the mouse .

The system displays the columns for scrap, production version, plant of destination, supplying plant, storage location, serial number and revision status if the data exists.

The system only displays the stock in transit column if you use stock transfer between two plants and only displays it in the receiving plant. The stock in transit is the quantity which is in transport to the receiving plant. It is likewise the quantity that for which a transfer posting is made in the goods receipt and stock transport order.

The individual columns for the items include the MRP date, data concerning the MRP element (for example, the short text, the number, the item, and so on), the key to the exception message, the rescheduling date, receipts and requirements, as well as the available quantity which represents planned warehouse stock.

By choosing the corresponding function keys, you can view the customer and vendor columns as well as the rescheduling date.

The items can be grouped together into individual segments according to the different planning types. Therefore, for example, you can have two segments in the MRP list for storage location MRP: firstly, a segment for net requirements calculation including all the elements, for which net requirements calculation was carried out at plant level, and secondly, a segment for storage location MRP for elements that are affected by the storage location.

Net requirements calculation is carried out separately for each segment.

Only the MRP lists of the materials whose material master record contains the specified procurement type are then displayed.

Special procurement type

By entering a special procurement type in the Special procurement field, you can select MRP lists for materials whose special procurement type in the material master record corresponds to the special procurement type you entered here.

Exception groups

Exception messages which occur during a planning run can be assigned to an exception group. You can determine which exception message is assigned to which group in Customizing. By selecting one or more exception groups, the system will then only display the MRP list for those materials which, during the planning run, received exception messages which belong to the exception group/groups you selected here.

Key to Exception Groups

Exception message	Exception group
MRP element newly planned, opening date lies in the past	1
MRP element newly planned, start date lies in the past	2
MRP element newly planned, finish date lies in the past	3

A split screen now appears.

The periods are listed in the top part of the screen. The selected period is highlighted. The MRP elememts which belong to the selected period are displayed in the lower part of the screen. You can scroll through both parts of the screen.

If you select a new period in the top part of the screen with a double-click of the mouse, then the individual MRP elements for this newly selected period will be displayed in the lower half of the screen. The new period which you have just selected is now displayed, highlighted, in the first line of the top section of the screen.

With Goto

® Back, you return to the MRP list according to the individual period split.

By pressing Goto

® Back again, you return to the overview screen.

Displaying MRP Segments Directly MRP Planning Result Evaluating MRP Lists

The MRP list can be divided into individual MRP segments according to the planning types. For storage location MRP, for example, in addition to the net requirements calculation segment, a so-called storage location segment is created for each individually planned storage location.

The net requirements calculation segment (or the net segment) also displays the part of the MRP list where net requirements calculation was carried out at plant level during the planning run. Below the storage location segment, you see the planned availability situation at storage location level.

If several segments are available in an MRP list, you can display them directly without having to search for them by scrolling. To do this, select Edit ® Next segment. You now only receive the segment for net requirements calculation (net segment). All of the other segments are suppressed. If you select this function again, the next segment is diplayed, and so on. If, for example, several storage location sections exist, then the first storage location segment is displayed and the others are suppressed. If you only want to see the net segment or the individual customer segment, select Edit ® Next segment or Ind.customer segment.

Current Stock/Requirements List Overview

In the stock/requirements list, the most up-to-date development of stocks and requirements is displayed. The layout of the list on the screen is the same as that of the MRP list.

The main difference between the MRP list and the stock/requirements list is that each time the stock/requirements list is called up, the system re-reads the various MRP elements and displays the most up-to-date situation. As a result, you always see the most recent availability situation for the material in the stock/requirements list whereas the MRP list reflects the stock and requirements situation at the time the last planning was carried out and changes which have taken place after the planning date are not included.
