Gross Requirements Planning (SAP Library - Material Requirements Planning (PP-MRP))

Gross Requirements Planning

Use

Gross requirements planning is initiated by planning with the planning strategy Make-to-stock prod./gross reqmts plng. Planned independent requirements, created using this requirements type, are not compared with warehouse stock in material requirements planning. The system only checks against the expected receipt quantity (from planned orders, purchase requisitions, and so on). This means that a mandatory master plan can be stored in the system.

The gross requirements plan is displayed in a separate segment in the MRP list as well as in the stock/requirements list.

Prerequisites

You have assigned the planning strategy Make-to-stock prod./gross reqmts planning to the material in the field Strategy group in the material master (MRP 3 view).

You have set the indicator for gross requirements planning for the material in the Mixed MRP field in the material master (MRP 31 view).

Features

Available stock is calculated as follows:

A shortage occurs if available stock is negative, that is, the requirement quantity is greater than expected receipts.

The system specifies the date of the issue (for example, customer requirement, planned independent requirement, reservation, forecast requirement) as the requirements date.
