Since the entries in the planning file are permanent, they must be examined regularly for their MRP relevancy. If, for example, a plant is excluded from material requirements planning at some point, its materials will still be contained in the planning file. The same applies to materials which are later excluded from MRP. The entries in the planning file are no longer needed and should be deleted. To do this, proceed as follows:
- Starting from the menu screen of material requirements planning , select Planning file entry ® Batch consistcy chck.
- Here, by using a selection variant, you can either plan the consistency check of the planning file entries to take place at a later date or you can or start the process immediately. Please refer to ABAP/4: Generating and Printing Reports for more detailed information on the background request procedure.
The initial screen for batch request appears.
Once the consistency check has started, the system checks each entry for the following information:
- Does the material still exist, that is, does a material master record still exist for the material?
- Is material requirements planning activated for the plant?
- Does the material have a valid MRP type in the material master record?
- Does the low-level code still match the one in the material master record?
If one of these criteria no longer applies, the respective entry is deleted from the planning file.
If the low-level code no longer corresponds to the one in the material master record, the entry is deleted from the planning file and a new one is created with the current low-level code.
