Lot Size

Lot-sizing procedures calculate procurement quantities by defining static, period-based, or optimized lot sizes. Static procedures use fixed quantities from the material master, like lot-for-lot or fixed lot size. Period procedures group requirements into lots based on time intervals like weeks or months. Optimized procedures calculate optimal lot sizes based on costs. The document provides details on static lot-sizing procedures like lot-for-lot, fixed lot size, and replenishment up to maximum stock level and explains how to define period lot-sizing procedures.

Lot-Sizing Procedures

Use
Lot-sizing procedures serve to calculate the procurement quantities, that is, the purchase order
and production quantities.
Integration
You define lot-sizing procedures in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Check lot-sizing
procedure.
You assign the required lot-sizing procedure to the material in the Lot size field in the material
master (MRP 1 view).
Features
Three groups of lot-sizing procedures are available:

 Static lot-sizing procedures


 Period lot-sizing procedures
 Optimum lot-sizing procedures

You can also use the short-term and long-term lot size to divide the planning period for the lot-
size calculation into a short-term and a long-term area. Therefore, it is also possible to use a
different lot-sizing procedure for calculating the lot size in each of these areas.
The last lot can be planned exactly, independent of the selected lot-sizing procedure.
Static lot-sizing procedures

In static lot-sizing procedures, the procurement quantity is calculated exclusively by means of the
quantity specifications entered in the material master.
Features
The following static lot-sizing procedures are available:

 Lot-for-lot order quantity


 Fixed lot size
 Fixed lot size with splitting and overlapping (Lot Sizes with Splitting and
Overlapping)
 Replenishment up to maximum stock level

Lot-for-lot order quantity

You plan using lot-for-lot order quantity, when you want to procure the exact lot size again.
This procedure is also referred to as the lot-for-lot procedure
You have set the indicator EX for lot-for-lot order quantity in the Lot size field in the material
master (MRP 1 view) for the material.
When planning using lot-for-lot order quantity, the system uses the exact shortage quantity
(requirement minus available stock) as the order quantity in the case of a material shortage. At
the time of the requirements date, the planned plant stock is zero.
Fixed Lot Size

It is useful to select a fixed lot size for a material, if it is only delivered, for example, in pallets of a
certain quantity or in tanks of a certain size.

You have set the indicator FX and entered the fixed lot-size quantity in the Lot size field in the
material master (MRP 1 view) for the material.

When planning using fixed lot size, the system will use the fixed order quantity recorded in the
material master for the lot-size calculation if a material shortage exists. If the fixed lot size is not
sufficient to balance out the material shortage, then several lots are planned for the same date
until the material shortage is eliminated.
Now after planning run with MD02
All planned orders are generated for qty 300 only…..

Fixed lot size with splitting and overlapping


After planning run with MD02 you will get the results as follows
Replenishment up to Maximum Stock Level

You use the lot-sizing procedure Replenishment up to maximum stock level if you want to fill
the stock up to the highest possible level or if you can only store a certain quantity of a material
due to the container size. This applies to a tank, for example. The capacity of the tank determines
the maximum stock level.

You can use this lot-sizing procedure with reorder point planning or MRP.

You have set the indicator HB in the Lot size field and the maximum quantity to stock in the
Maximum stock level field in the material master (MRP 1 view) for the material.
Now do the planning run with MD02…

Period Lot-Sizing Procedures

In period lot-sizing procedures, the system groups several requirements within a time interval
together to form a lot.
Features
You can define the following periods:

o days
o weeks
o months
o periods of flexible length equal to posting periods
o freely definable periods according to a planning calendar
Now create PIR’s in weekly bucket through MD61 as shown below….
Now do the planning run with MD02
