MRP Area
MRP Area can be defined as an organizational unit in which material requirements planning can be carried out individually.The different types of MRP Areas that can be defined and planned independently are Plant MRP Area, MRP Areas for Storage Locations andMRP Areas for Subcontractors.
MRP Without MRP areas
Without MRP Areas, MRP takes place at plant level.MRP considers all the requirements for a material such as dependent requirements, planned independent requirements, customerrequirements etc., for all storage locations, which are not planned separately or are not excluded from the planning.The MRP settings defined for the Material are valid for all the storage locations within the Plant except for the storage locations that areexcluded from the planning.
Planning with MRP areas
Each MRP area is planned separately.Storage Location MRP area can be defined for an individual Storage location or collectively for a group of Storage locations which can beplanned independently from the Plant MRP area.Subcontractor (Vendor) stock can be planned separately with MRP area for a subcontractorEvaluation of the Planning results which Stock/Requirements List (MD04) and MRP List (MD05) can be done individually for each MRP area.MRP Area facilitates the option for setting different MRP parameters (E.g.; MRP Type, Lot size, Special Procurement etc.,) from that of PlantMRP area.
Process flow for MRP with MRP Areas
These process steps describe the configuration needed and the master data that is to be maintained in order to be able to carry outmaterial requirements planning at MRP area level.

1. Conversion of Planning File Entries
In order to use MRP areas in materials requirements planning, conversion of the existing planning file at Plant level to the new planning file atMRP area level needs to be carried out using a report in IMG activity ‘Convert planning file entries for MRP areas’. Key functions carried out with the report:
- System creates a plant MRP area for every plant
- Individual planning file entries at Plant MRP area are converted to individual file entries at MRP
area level.

In the IMG activity Activate MRP for MRP areas, set the MRP area active indicator.Navigation: SPRO > Production > Material Requirements Planning > Master Data > MRP Areas > Activate MRP for MRP Areas
A material can be assigned to one or more MRP areas by creating a segment for each MRP area.For each MRP area, individual MRP and forecast parameters can be defined which are different from those defined in the material master atplant levelMRP Areas are assigned in MRP1 View of Material Master
Material Master – MRP1 View
