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. Assigning the missing part to a particular goods recipient takes place with the missing part processing in the application component Warehouse Management LE-WM (see also Processing Preallocated Stock ).

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.
