Single Roles in MRP

Use

The following single roles are available in MRP:

MRP PP - Master Data (SAP_PP_MRP_MASTER_DATA)

Functions for the maintenance of master data in MRP for in-house production. It does not contain any functions that refer to the master data for production types themselves (production with production orders, repetitive manufacturing, Kanban). The maintenance of the master data forms the basis for MRP.

MRP PP - Planning (SAP_PP_MRP_PLANNING)

Functions for carrying out MRP for in-house production. You can use these functions to plan individual materials, for which the requirements or stock situation has changed, and thereby ensure that the material is available in the correct quantity at the correct time.

MRP PP - Evaluation (SAP_PP_MRP_EVALUATIONS)

Functions for evaluating the result of the MRP run for in-house production. You can use these functions to get information about material availability as well as recognize shortage and exception situations quickly.

For this role, there are mini-applications that you can use to display ranges of coverage and exception messages.

MRP PP - Planned Order (SAP_PP_MRP_PLANNED_ORDER)

Functions for processing planned orders in in-house production. You can use these functions to adapt planned orders so that they suit the exact requirements situation and then trigger the procurement of individual assemblies or components by converting planned orders.

MRP PP - Coordination (SAP_PP_MRP_COORDINATION)

Central functions in MRP for in-house production, which are connected with particular responsibility. You can use these functions to control MRP using higher-level values as a basis.

Long-Term Planning (SAP_PP_MP_LONG_TERM_PLANNING)

Functions for long-term production planning and simulative short-term and mid-term planning. Using these functions, you can

gain an overview of the future requirements and stock situation and compare demand planning with the available capacities

plan materials in advance, which almost plan themselves in the operational process: reorder-point materials, bulk material, KANBAN materials

enable your purchasing department to estimate the order volume and purchasing budget in good time and to carry out negotiations about scheduling agreements and contracts with vendors using this estimate as a basis

Master Production Scheduling (SAP_PP_MP_MPS_PLANNING)

Necessary functions for the planning of master schedule items, that is, finished products and important assemblies, which greatly influence company profits. You use these functions to plan master schedule items separately and with particular care. You then only plan the subordinate BOM levels, once you have fine-tuned the production plan for the master schedule items.

Functions for evaluating the result of the MRP run in external procurement. You can use these functions to get information about material availability as well as recognize shortage and exception situations quickly.

For this role, there are mini-applications that you can use to display ranges of coverage and exception statistics.

MRP - Planned Order (SAP_MM_CBP_PLANNED_ORDER)

Functions for processing planned orders in external procurement. You can use these functions to adapt planned orders so that they suit the exact requirements situation and then trigger the procurement of individual assemblies or components by converting planned orders.

MRP - Coordination (SAP_MM_CBP_COORDINATION)

Central functions in MRP for external procurement, which are connected with particular responsibility. You can use these functions to control MRP using higher-level values as a basis.
