Missing Parts Check 

Use

A missing parts check is possible at the time of a goods receipt, other receipt, or transfer posting. If the missing parts check function is active in the plant, the system checks whether the material posted as a receipt is a missing part. If it is a missing part, the system issues a warning message and sends an e-mail to the MRP controller responsible in the plant.

Prerequisites

You have to activate the missing parts check function in Customizing for Inventory Management.

Features

There are two types of missing parts messages:

The MRP controller receives one e-mail for each material, containing a maximum of five MRP elements.

The MRP controller receives one mail for each material document and plant. This e-mail contains a list of the materials for which there are missing parts (missing part materials), but it does not contain any MRP elements.

You send these e-mails via the output function (output type MLFH).

By selecting Document ® Execute, the MRP controller can access backorder processing of the missing part material in order to distribute the quantity received.
