Symptom
If the requirement quantity or date or BOM is changed, then you run MRP with planning mode 1, the existing procurement proposals such as purchase requisitions or planned orders are deleted and recreated.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Run MRP for the material.
- A purchase requisition is generated. Note down the purchase requisition number.
- Run MRP again for the material with planning mode 1.
- Observe that MRP generates a new purchase requisition with a different number.
Cause
Standard system design.
There are 2 planning modes for MRP in public cloud:
- Planning Mode 1: Adapt Planning Data
If the system finds an unfirmed procurement proposal that completely matches a requirement, it reuses this procurement proposal. If the system finds an unfirmed procurement proposal that only partially matches a requirement (for example, the quantity is correct but the date does not suit the requirement), the system deletes this unfirmed procurement proposal and creates a new one. The system explodes the BOM again for the recreated procurement proposals. - Planning Mode 3: Delete and Recreate Planning Data
The system deletes all unfirmed procurement proposals and creates new procurement proposals to match the requirement situation.
Resolution
Firm the procurement proposals to avoid them to be deleted and recreated by MRP unexpectedly.
