SA not e 53235

SAP note 53235

Summary

 

Symptom

Materials planning is executed with purchase requisition creation indicator '2', that is, within the opening period purchase requisitions are created for materials procured externally and outside of the opening period planned orders are created for materials procured externally.
Materials that have not been changed in any way relevant to planning (MRP), that is, neither the requirements nor the stocks nor the material master were changed, are excluded from a net change planning with transaction MD01 and transaction code NETCH. This even applies if a previously generated planned order now lies within the opening period and the materials planning would now normally create a purchase requisition.

Additional key words

MD01, documentation, planning file entry

Cause and prerequisites

No planning file entry is created if the planned order is moved into the opening period. The material is excluded from the next materials planning with MD01 and transaction code NETCH.

Solution

Use transaction MD15 to convert planned orders into purchase requisitions. Execute transaction MD15 regularly to convert all planned orders within the opening period. Synchronize the length of the opening period with the frequency in which you execute transaction MD15.
Alternatively, you can use the MRP type 'Time-phased MRP'. In this case, the material is planned after every change relevant to MRP and additionally at the dates defined by the planning cycle. Synchronize the opening period with the length of the planning cycle.
