Schedule MRP Runs (f11339)
Key Features
- During the MRP run, the system checks whether current material demand can be covered by current inventory and expected material receipts. In a regenerative MRP run, the system plans all materials irrespective of whether they have been changed since the last MRP run. In a net change MRP run, the system only includes materials that have been changed since the last planning run in the new planning run. If current demand is not covered, the system creates planned orders in the case of in-house production and either purchase requisitions or schedule lines for external procurement.
- You can use this app to create and schedule a job for executing your MRP runs. To automate the planning process, the MRP run has to be carried out on a regular basis so you can use this app to create a job that performs this task for you; reducing your workload by running this task smoothly in the background.
You can perform the following tasks if the role Production Planning - MRP Runs is assigned to your user:
- Create and schedule jobs for your MRP runs. You can define
- The description, start date, start time and recurrence of the MRP run
- Specific control parameters for the MRP run
- The planning scope of the MRP run.
- Monitor the jobs and display information on the status, planned start, end, and duration, for example. In the Job Details screen you can display a log with information on the planning run
- Cancel the job.
Monitor Material Coverage - Net and Individual Segments(F2101A)
With this app, you can monitor all the materials in a selected area of responsibility. This includes collective requirements materials, make-to-stock and make-to-order materials, and materials for direct procurement. You are provided with a list of all materials with a net requirement segment or individual planning segments, which considers the following planning segments:
- Net segment – planning for the whole MRP area •Individual customer segment – using sales order stock
- Individual project segment – using project stock
- Segment for direct production planning – with direct creation of planned order
- Segment for direct procurement planning – with direct creation of purchase requisitions
The system calculates the requirements for each segment separately. The materials of these planning segments might have coverage issues according to a specified shortage definition. The shortage definition you choose contains a set of rules that the system uses for calculating the material shortages. These rules define the scope of the shortage calculation, meaning the supply and demand elements to be considered and the conditions that have to be met to be a relevant shortage. You can use the default filters Time till Shortage, Material, and Individual Segment to narrow down the scope of your list.
This app provides you with the information that you need to be able to react to the shortage situation on time, meaning that you can avoid disruptions to production or to the fulfillment of customer demands. From this app, you can directly navigate to the Manage Material Coverage app to view details of the selected materials and check different solutions.
