SAP MRP 2 View

MRP 3 View:

The following are the fields in MRP 3 View:

Strategy Group:

A Strategy Group represents the procedure used for planning a material. Primarily for Made to
Stock the strategy is 10 in SAP and For Made to Order the Strategy is 20 in SAP.

There are many other strategies in the system other than Made-to-order and Made-to-Stock like

a) Planning without final assembly - Strategy Group or Strategy = 40

This is a made to stock scenario where production is not only driven merely by planned
independent requirements set in MD61 for a material, but any shortage is stock recognised by
incoming sales orders or demand is fulfilled through a procurement proposal added in MRP.
In a mere Made-to-stock scenario (Strategy = 10) , the production is only driven by planned
independent requirements set in MD61 for a material and on any shortage identified by incoming
demand does not result in additional procurement proposals in MRP.

You can use Strategy - 10, when you know that the forecasted demand is correct and you cannot
afford to produce more than that.

You can use Strategy - 40 when you want to accomodate for evergrowing changes in demand
and satisfy the shoratages not identified by the forecast.

Note - Using Strategy 40 is wise.

b) Make-to-Order - Strategy Group or Strategy = 20

In a make-to-order scenario, the production is initiated upon receipt of an incoming customer

requirement, i.e., production is made specifically for the customer requirements.

In this case the production order and the stock is assigned to the customer order avioding any
divertions to another customer demand for a similar or same product.

Consumption Modes:

The consumption mode controls the direction on the time axis in which the system consumes
requirements.

Backward Consumption period:

Determines how far in the past on the time axis, the system should look for consuming the PIRS
(planned independent requirement). The Sales Orders, Dependent Requirements, etc are assigned
to & consume the PIR quantities that within this consumption period (before the requirements
date

Forward Consumption period:

Determines how far in the future on the time axis, the system should look for consuming planned
independent requirement. The Sales orders, Dependent Requirements, etc are assigned to &
consume the PIR quantities that within this consumption period (after the requirements date).
Availability Check:

Using this field the system specifies whether and how the system checks availability and
generates requirements for materials planning. It specifies which MRP elements the System
takes into account (Purchase Orders, Production/Process Orders, etc) during availability check.
