If material requirements planning is activated for a plant, it is necessary to generate an entry in the planning file for all materials relevant to MRP in this plant. You can only carry out this function in background mode. To do this, proceed as follows:
- Starting from the menu screen of material requirements planning, select Planning file entry ® Bckgrnd processing.
- Here, by using a selection variant, you can either plan the creation of a planning file entry to take place at a later date or you can or start the process immediately.
The initial screen for the background processing now appears.
Please refer to ABAP/4: Generating and Printing Reports for more detailed information on the background processing procedure.
Once you have started the process, the system checks each material in this plant to see whether it is relevant for MRP. If a material fulfills the prerequisites which were mentioned above, it is included in the planning file, and both the total change indicator and the net change planning indicator are set.
These materials are then included in the following MRP run.
