Feature | Classic MRP (t-codes MD01/MD02/MD03) | MRP live (t-code MD01N) | Related Note/KBA |
MRP list | MRP parameter “Create MRP list” can be used to control whether MRP list should be created. | No MRP lists are written by MRP live as MRP lists were intended for checking the MRP result. MRP lists were used to find materials with issues quickly. MRP lists are snapshots of the material supply and demand situation at the time of the last MRP run. The snapshot is often outdated. With HANA, stock/requirements lists can be read with high speed. MRP cockpit can be used to determine materials with late supply issues in real-time. T-code md_mrp_force_classic shows all master data related issues(like no production version found). In SAP S/4HANA there is no need for outdated MRP lists. | 2268085 – S4TWL – MRP live on SAP HANA – MD01N 2554382 – MRP List (MD05) can’t be found after MRP Live run 2327795 – MRP on HANA: Requirements aggregated on the MRP List |
Scope of planning | MRP parameter “Scope of planning” can be used to combine a group of plants or MRP areas. | Scope of planning is not supported. MRP Live can plan many materials in many plants. It always plans all MRP Areas. |
