Carrying Out The Planning Run Using MRP Live

MRP Live allows planning runs to be executed more frequently and quickly on SAP HANA. This provides benefits like more up-to-date demand and supply information, faster response to changes, and improved matching of demand and supply. MRP Live supports planning at different levels like for a material at a location or across multiple locations. The appropriate planning method, classic MRP or MRP Live, is determined by material master and customizing settings.

Carrying Out the Planning Run

Using MRP Live


Use

Using MRP Live, you can benefit from improved performance and execute the planning run in much
shorter cycles. This means that you can execute several planning runs daily providing the MRP
controller with the following benefits, for example:

 More up-to-date supply and demand information on which to base decisions.

 Faster reaction to demand changes reduces the risk of stock-outs and means that you can
reduce safety stocks.

 Match demand and supply more efficiently than was previously possible.

 Identify and react to issues faster than was previously possible.

The report MRP Live (with the technical name PPH_MRP_DISPATCHER) is a copy of the
report RMMRP000 and provides the following options for carrying out the planning run:

 MRP Live (transaction MD01N) calls MRP on HANA

 MRP Live (transaction MD01N) calls classic MRP

Note

The transaction MD01N is a copy of the transaction MD01.

Which planning run is used depends on the MRP parameters defined for the materials in the
material master record and in Customizing. For more information, see When to Plan in MRP Live
and When to Plan with Classic MRP.

Prerequisites
You must have activated the Business Function Performance Optimizations for MRP.

As total requirements (customer requirements and dependent requirements) are not supported when
working with MRP Live, you have to make sure that you have no total requirements in your system
before carrying out the planning run. In this case, proceed as described in the
document Prerequisite: Clean Up Total Requirements.

Features

In addition to the planning scopes covered by the classic MRP transactions, MRP Live also supports
the following planning scopes, for example:

 The planning of a selected material in a selected location (such as a distribution center) and
its supplying locations (such as a production plant).

 The planning of the distribution of a selected material across several locations.

 The planning of a selected material in a selected location and its supplying locations and the
components in the production location or locations, multilevel across the complete supply chain.

 The planning of all the materials for which one MRP controller is responsible.

 Using the settings and control parameters in the initial screen of the MRP Live planning run,
you can determine how the planning run is to be carried out. For more information, see Settings and
Control Parameters for MRP Live.

Constraints

Currently, the classic MRP run supports a very large number of business processes for a wide-range
of industries. The new MRP Live is designed to be faster but will not support all these existing
business processes right away. Therefore, during the planning run, the system determines whether
a particular material can be planned with MRP Live on SAP HANA with high performance or whether
it has to be planned in the classic application server. In future support packages, additional planning
functions will be implemented for the MRP Live on HANA run meaning that the system will plan more
and more materials in MRP Live on HANA. For more information, see:
 MRP Live: Incompatible Changes for details on longer-term incompatible changes.

 SAP Note 1914010   for details on short-term incompatible changes.
