Storage Location MRP (SAP Library - Material Requirements Planning (PP-MRP))

Storage Location MRP

Use

Material requirements planning is usually carried out at plant level. This means that the system adds together stocks from all of the individual storage locations, with the exception of individual customer stock, to determine total plant stock. It may be necessary to exclude storage location stock from the plant's MRP run, or you may want to plan certain stocks separately.

A warehouse is geographically too far away from the production location that is planned with the storage location MRP.
The stock of a storage location is only available for service and not for production.

Integration

If you plan several storage locations together or also want to plan storage locations using MRP, you can plan with MRP areas.

Features

The following options are available:

The storage location is to be planned separately. Fundamentally, separate storage location MRP is carried out using consumption-based planning. In this case, you must also define a reorder level and a replenishment quantity (fixed lot size) at storage location level. In so doing, it is possible to monitor this storage location's stock automatically, and if the stock level should fall below the reorder level the storage location is also replenished automatically.

In the planning run, stock that lies in this storage location, and which is planned separately, is not contained in the available stock at plant level.

If a receipt element (planned order, purchase requisition, purchase order, production order, and so on) or an issue element (reservation, sales order) refers to either a storage location that is excluded from the planning run or one that is planned separately these elements are not taken into account at plant level.

Reservations and sales orders, which are planned in a storage location for which MRP is carried out separately, are not included when calculating plant stock. The net requirements calculation for these requirements is restricted to this storage location.

The storage location is excluded from the planning run. In this case, the storage location's stock is not contained in the available stock at plant level, nor is it included in the planning run. The exclusion of storage location stock is only relevant to the planning run. You can, however, still make withdrawals from this stock.
