What the AFS MRP Statuses Mean

Use

During the planning run, the AFS MRP creates different AFS MRP statuses. The description of the AFS MRP statuses should help the user to better understand the stock and requirement situation of an AFS Material.

Features

AFS MRP statuses are created both in the AFS MRP List and in the AFS Stock/ Requirements List.

Note

The AFS MRP statuses that are created in the AFS MRP list are not the same as in the AFS stock/ requirements list. This is because the MRP list only displays the result of the latest MRP run, whereas the stock/ requirements list reflects the entire stock/ requirement situation of a material.

In the following table, all AFS MRP statuses are described that can be created during the AFS MRP.

MRP status	Description
3	Consumed planned independent requirements. Planned independent requirements that have been consumed by sales orders. You can call it using both the AFS MRP list and the AFS stock/ requirements list (Goto ® reduced planned requirements). Sales orders for which you have already posted a goods issue are not displayed in this status.
A	Unrestricted-use stock.
B (after the MRP run in the AFS MRP list)	MRP blocked requirements. Blocked requirements can arise from both planned independent requirements and sales orders. These requirements could not be taken into account during the latest MRP run. Possible causes are: Wrong maintenance of the category tables Discontinuation of a material or an SKU (AFS Customizing).
B (before the MRP run in the AFS stock/ requirements list)	MRP blocked requirements. If new requirements arise to which no stock was able to be assigned, and if the MRP run has not been carried out, these requirements are displayed in status B in the AFS stock/ requirements list.
D	Assignment by delivery note. The delivery in Sales was already carried out.
E	Sales order stock. It is posted in the inventory management with reference to a sales order. The sales order must be flagged with an item category according to make-to-order production or purchase-to-order procurement. The MRP does not change this assignment. The allocation run changes this assignment to status F (fixed).
F	Fixed – ready for delivery. Two reasons are possible: You carried out the allocation run. The allocation run made a fixed assignment of sales orders to stock elements according to its own rules. You carried out a fixed batch assignment for dependent requirements within the combined orders.
G	Production requirements from another plant. They can be created in the material master, using the special procurement key. You can see this status in the producing plant.
I	Additional information. Statistics overview and total function for the latest planning run.
J	Special requirements. This status is created for a material that is flagged with the MRP type AFS: no MRP, transfer of requirements. Important for the flagging of value-added services (Sales). In the MRP list this requirement is only displayed, but not planned.
K	Vendor consignment. You post stock from the inventory management with reference to the vendor who delivers the goods. You can do that by creating a consignment order. MRP uses this stock for requirements coverage.
N	Stock with account assignment without requirement. Example: First a sales order (make-to-order) was planned and the customer rejected it later. The stock remains in status N until it becomes unrestricted-use stock again after a balance sheet transfer. Stock in this status is not used for the requirements coverage by MRP.
P	MRP blocked requirements. Requirements that are outside of the planning horizon.
R	Reserved by the allocation run. Display of requirements whose quantities are only partially confirmed by the allocation run (status F).
S	Information on the third-party order processing.
T	Temporary assignment of requirements to stock.
W	Customer consignment. You post stock to the stock from the inventory management with reference to the customer. You can increase and reduce stock by consignment fill-up and consignment withdrawal.
X	Stock with account assignment. Special stock that is assigned to a cost center. This stock is available for this particular cost center. This is only valid for one posting with the indicator V (consumption). This stock is not used for the requirements coverage by MRP. Stock with this status can only be manually posted. Example: A purchase requisition is created for an internal department (cost center). The stock is reserved exclusively for this department.
Z	Special planned independent requirements Special requirements from the planning with the version number individual customer requirements without MRP (make-to-order and purchase-to-order) and third-party orders without MRP get this status during MRP. The displayed planned independent requirements are only statistical. They are only displayed and not planned. The planned independent requirements are reduced by incoming sales orders.
