SAP MM: MRP Planning Result List

Depending on the creation indicator, the system creates MRP lists during the planning run. These lists contain the planning results for the material. The MRP list always displays the future stock/requirements situation at the time of the last planning run and it also provides a work basis for the MRP controller. The MRP list is stored in the system until it is either deleted manually or replaced by the new list from the next planning run.

Each MRP list is divided into a header and items. In the MRP header material data is recorded, such as the material number, the plant, and MRP parameters, for example. The items, on the other hand, contain information on the individual MRP elements (planned orders, purchase orders, reservations, sales orders, and so on).

In the standard setting, individual columns for the items include the MRP date, MRP element data (for example, the short text, the number, the item, and so on), the key to the exception message, the rescheduling date, receipts and requirements quantities, as well as the available quantity which represents planned warehouse stock. In addition, you can view the start/release and opening date columns by adjusting the width with the mouse .

The system displays the columns for scrap, production version, plant of destination, supplying plant, storage location, serial number and revision status if the data exists.

The system only displays the stock in transit column if you use stock transfer between two plants and only displays it in the receiving plant. The stock in transit is the quantity which is in transport to the receiving plant. It is likewise the quantity that for which a transfer posting is made in the goods receipt and stock transport order.

The individual columns for the items include the MRP date, data concerning the MRP element (for example, the short text, the number, the item, and so on), the key to the exception message, the rescheduling date, receipts and requirements, as well as the available quantity which represents planned warehouse stock.

By choosing the corresponding function keys, you can view the customer and vendor columns as well as the rescheduling date.

The items can be grouped together into individual segments according to the different planning types. Therefore, for example, you can have two segments in the MRP list for storage location MRP: firstly, a segment for net requirements calculation including all the elements, for which net requirements calculation was carried out at plant level, and secondly, a segment for storage location MRP for elements that are affected by the storage location.

Net requirements calculation is carried out separately for each segment.
