Hello Umapathy,
- PIR to be miantained for the finished products in MD61. Maintain against each Finished Material or in MD61 enter the requirement plan for each year Eg: 2014-15 and maintain the demand(PIR) for all materials at one Go for that particular year.
- MRP can be executed in background(MDBT) or online (MD01) or for Finished material (MD02). If for single material if you want to execute MRP ad check the results then execute MD02 where it will explode entire BOM of FG and plan for all the dependent materials. You also use MD01 - Plant level MRP which will explode all the demand for FG maintained as PIR and plan accordingly. During normal operations time if you execute this tcode its processing time can be high. MDBT is for executing the MRP in background. Schedule this background MRP in non operational time so that all the materials gets planned as per PIR maintained. Suggest you to go by this method.
- Once MRP is executed last MRP results can be viewed in MD05.
- MD04 is dynamic screen with latest updated information Eg: After MRP run if some GR for FG or Issue for Raw material or GR against PO are done it will update in MD04 sreen.
- From MD04 screen you can convert the planned order to process order. Double click the planned order number -Another Pop screen appears where you can convert the planned order to process orders.
- You can use COR7 or COR8 for converting the planned order to process orders.
Hope its clear to you.
Thanks & Regards,
