Production Planning and Quality Management

MRP (Material Requirement Planning)

• The SAP MRP(Material Requirement Planning) is used to procure or produce the required material
quantities on time for in-house purpose or for fulfilling customer demands. In manufacturing, the
function of MRP is to guarantee material availability on time.
• The main objective is to plan the supply based on requirements and considering the current stock in
hand and meet the shortages.
• We will use the Make to Stock (MTS) process in AB InBev Implementation.
• Whenever the customer sales order placed for finished product will run the multilevel MRP run and
generate the requirements for semi-finished and raw materials.
• MRP profiles are created for inhouse and procured material to take care the all MRP parameters –
• MTS (Make to Stock MRP Profile) – In-house manufacturing
• PTS (Procure to stock MRP Profile) – Procured materials
MRP Profiles and Parameters for Material Master –
• MTS (Make to Stock MRP Profile) – Can be assign to Finished product and semi-finished product
which manufactured inhouse.
• Procurement Type – E (Inhouse)
• MRP type – PD (MRP)
• Lot size – EX (Lot-for-lot order quantity)
• Schedule Margin Key – 000
• Strategy Group – 40 (Planning with final assembly)

• PTS (Procure to Stock MRP Profile) – Can be assign to Raw materials and packaging materials which
are procured from vendor or outside company.
• Procurement Type – E (Inhouse)
• MRP type – PD (MRP)
• Lot size – EX (Lot-for-lot order quantity)
• Schedule Margin Key – 000
• Strategy Group – 40 (Planning with final assembly)
Work Scheduling view in Material Master –
• This view can be extended only for Finished Product and semi-finished product.
• Production scheduling profiles –
• ZPCK – This scheduling profile created for finished product process order.
• ZBLK – This Scheduling profile created for Semi-finished (Bulk) product process order.

QM view in Material Master –

• This view can be extended to all types of materials (Finished, Semi-Finished and Raw materials).
• The below inspection types can be assigned to Materials –
• Finished Material – 89 and 09 inspection type
• Semi-Finished Material – 04 and 89 inspection type
• Raw Material – 01 and 89 inspection type
Need below materials to run the PP and QM Process –
• US Plant – AAP1
• Finished Material – 1 (Extend the material to AAP1 and AAP2 for STO scenario)
• Semifinished material – 1
• Raw materials – 3 (Barley, HOP and Yeast)
• Pipeline Material – 1 (Water)
• Packaging Materials – 3 (Tin or bottle or box)

• US Plant – AAP2
• Finished Material – 1 (Extend the material to AAP1 and AAP2 for STO scenario)

• Canada Plant – CAP1

• Finished Material – 1 (Extend the material to CAP1 and CAP2 for STO scenario)
• Semifinished material – 1
• Raw materials – 3 (Barley, HOP and Yeast)
• Pipeline Material – 1 (Water)
• Packaging Materials – 3 (Tin or bottle or box)

• Canada Plant – CAP2

• Finished Material – 1 (Extend the material to CAP1 and CAP2 for STO scenario)
