Planning File Entry MRP

The planning file in SAP MRP contains a list of materials relevant to the planning run. When a material master record is created with MRP data and a valid MRP type, the material is automatically included in the planning file. During an MRP run, the system only plans materials that have an activated indicator in the planning file. This reduces MRP run time. The planning file entry is deleted after an MRP run and reactivated when there are changes to a material's MRP data, stock, requirements, or receipt elements. Users can check the planning file indicator using transaction MD21.

Planning file entry

The first process in MRP is the checking of the planning file entry.

The planning run and the scope of the planning run (which materials are planned in which
planning run) are controlled by the planning file.

The planning file contains a list of all materials relevant to the planning run. As soon as a
material master record is created with MRP data and a valid MRP type, this material is then
automatically included in the planning file.

During MRP run at plant level system checks for the materials which are having indicator
activated in planning file and plans those materials and will not plan the materials for which this
indicator is not activated….this reduces the run time of the MRP..

Entry in planning file is deleted immediately after MRP run….

Entry in planning file is again activated when there is change to material with respect to MRP…
like below.

Change in stock

Change in requirement

Change in MRP data in material master

Change in receipt elements like Planned orders or purchase requisitions…

How to see the planning file indicator…go to transaction MD21


Enter material and plant then execute

Initial situation of the material in MD04

Now check for the planning file entry

Now add requirement to the material with MD61

Now check for the planning file entry again….now indicator will be activated

Now carryout planning run….MD02


Now check for planning file entry again. It will be reset….as shown below…
