Q. What is MRP List and what is the use of it?

De nition of the MRP List
The system creates MRP lists during the planning run according to how you set the creation
indicator. These lists contain the planning result for the material. The MRP list always displays the
stock/requirements situation at the time of the last planning run and it also provides a work basis
for the MRP controller. Changes that are made after the planning date are not taken into
consideration, so the list is static. MRP lists are stored in the system until they are either deleted
manually or replaced by new lists from a subsequent planning run.

Q. What is the use of Stock Requirement List?
In the stock/requirements list, the most up-to-date stock and requirements situation is displayed.
The main difference between the MRP list and the stock/requirements list is that each time the
stock/requirements list is called up, the system selects the various MRP elements and displays the
most up-to-date situation. You thus always see the current availability situation of the material in
the stock/requirements list. Changes that are made after the planning date are displayed directly,
so the list is therefore dynamic. Stock/requirements lists are not saved in a xed state in the
system, but are subject to change and only exist in the working memory.
Comparison
The screen layout of both lists is basically the same. The system automatically runs the
rescheduling check directly when both lists are created and puts forward rescheduling proposals.
The number of exception messages displayed in each list is roughly the same. The only difference
lies in the fact that, due to the nature of the list, no exception messages can occur for newly
planned MRP elements in the stock/requirements list. Directly after the planning run, both lists
contain the same information. As soon as a change relevant to MRP is made, the system updates
the information in the stock/requirements list. As stock/requirements lists are subject to change,
they cannot be set with a processing indicator.

Q. What is MRP controller Means?

The MRP controller is a person or a group of persons responsible for monitoring material
availability. You can use the number entered here, for example, to select the planning results per
MRP conroller. Every material that is relevant to the planning run must be assigned an MRP
controller number in the material master record. You can also determine a special person for
backorder processing who receives a mail if a goods receipt was posted for a missing part. You
must enter the mail name of this person in the eld entitled, recipient name. In addition, you can
de ne a person or a group of persons, who are to informed if you send a mail from the MRP list or
stock/requirements list to the MRP controller for the material displayed. Actions

Q. What is MRP group and what is the use of it?

MRP Groups
In this step, you can carry out the total maintenance of the MRP groups and you can allocate a
material type to an MRP group. The MRP group is an organizational object that can be used to

https://mindmajix.com/sap-pp-interview-questions 2/11
5/9/2018 The Best SAP PP Interview Questions [UPDATED] 2018

allocate special control parameters for planning to a group of materials. You can maintain MRP
groups if planning control per plant is not precise enough for your requirements and you want to
allocate certain material groups different control parameters from the plant parameters. For this
purpose, MRP groups are de ned with these speci c control parameters and are assigned to the
material in the material master record (MRP 1 screen).
For example, the following control parameters can be set for the total planning run:
1. the creation indicator for the plarequisitions, MRP lists, and so on)
2. the planning horizon
3. the consumption mode
The following is valid for total planning and single-item planning:
1. for all materials without an MRP group, the system uses the plant parameters, or the entries in
the initial screen of the planning run
2. for all materials with an MRP group, the system uses the parameters recorded in the MRP
groupnning run (creation of purchase)

Q. What is Purpose of Schedule Margin Key?

In this step, you specify the oats for determining the basic dates of the planned orders. The oats
are allocated to the material via the release period key in the material master record.
Opening period: The opening period represents the number of workdays that are subtracted from
the order start date in order to determine the order creation date. This time is used by the MRP
controller as a oat for converting planned orders into purchase requisitions or into production
orders.
Float before production: The oat before production represents the number of workdays that are
planned as a oat between the order start date (planned start date) and the production start date
(target start date). On the one hand, this oat is intended to guarantee that delays in staging a
material do not delay the production start. On the other hand, the production dates can be
brought forward by means of the oat to cope with capacity bottlenecks.
Float after production: The oat after production should provide a oat for the production process
to cope with any disruptions so that there is no danger that the planned nish date will be
exceeded. You plan the oat after production between order nish date (planned nish date) and
scheduled end (target nish date).
Release period: The release period represents the number of workdays that are subtracted from
the order start date in order to determine the production order release. The release period is only
relevant for production order management.

Q. What is opening period?

Opening period : The opening period represents the number of workdays that are subtracted
from the order start date in order to determine the order creation date. This time is used by the
MRP controller as a oat for converting planned orders into purchase requisitions or into
production orders.

Q. What is SLA ? Service Level Agreements

Service Level Agreements (SLA) de ne the attributes for service products (for example,
maintenance, Hotline) that have been agreed upon with the customer in service contracts. The
SLA con rms different parameters, such as response time, availability time and system availability.

Q. What are Basic Dates?

Earliest date for the execution of the production order. This date takes into account the oat
before production. If, on order creation, a planned order exists for the production order or process
order, then the order dates are taken from the planned order. When scheduling the production
order the system tries to adhere to the order dates (if necessary, with reduction measures).
1. If it is not possible to adhere to the basic dates and if the control parameter in Customizing
allows the basic dates to be adjusted, the system adjusts the basic dates of the order during the
scheduling run.
2. If the control parameter in Customizing does not allow the basic dates to be adjusted, the order
keeps the basic dates of the planned order.
3. If the production order is created manually, you must enter at least one order date manually.
4. The scheduling type determines, which order dates you must enter.

Q. What is planning time fence?

1. The planning time fence speci es a period within which no automatic changes are to be made
to the master plan.
2. The planning time fence is maintained in workdays.

Q. What is Planning Horizon?

In this step, you de ne the planning horizon. This planning horizon speci es the period for the
“Net change planning in the planning horizon”.
In this kind of net change planning, only those materials that have undergone a change that is
relevant to MRP within the planning horizon are included in the planning run. Such materials
receive a net change planning indicator in the planning le.   You make this speci cation for a
plant. You can de ne an alternative planning horizon for MRP groups

Q. What is Group BOM?

Alphanumeric character string used to uniquely identify a BOM.
Use
If you assign a “meaningful” number to a BOM group, this gives you an additional way of
accessing the BOM.
The system stores the following under a BOM group:
1. all the alternatives in a multiple BOM
2. all the BOMs entered for a variant BOM

When you calculate production costs using a quantity structure, the system automatically
determines the BOM and all the BOM items that are relevant to costing, in order to calculate
manufacturing costs.

Q. What are all the settings done for con guring integration of PP with FICO?
1. Do availability check. You will get missing parts list. Procure those missing parts. Then con rm
the production order. One more thing you can do, change customize setting so that user cannot
release if parts are missing during order release.
2. Standard cost is the cost which is xed for a period, variable cost is varying with period. As for
example cost of semi nished, nished materials are xed & cost of raw materials are varied.
3. You will nd in master data tab page of production header data overview, CO02 – Read PP
Master Data. Also from Functions menu you will get Read PP Master Data.  This means that you
want the system to re-update the production order with the latest BOM structure.
4. Assigning of Cost center to work center. Assigning Activity type to work center, Standard Cost
estimate, Costing Run, Order settlement, Product costing.

Q. Can MRP be carried out for one particular level of a bom ( Level code : 0001/0002 etc).
Yes it can be done by running for speci c materials (Single Material Single Level)

Q. How Requiements( PIR,Sles Order, Customer Requirement)   are reduced   after they are
produced?
Reqmts are reduced automatically after Delivery is made to the Particular Order
(In case of Strategy 11, the PIRs are consumed after the GR for Production Order)

Q. Can’t one material be assigned to more than one operation in a routing?

One material from a BOM CANNOT be assigned to different Operations.
It can be done by de ning the material for so many times as required in the BOM

Q. How to insert an inspection checkpoint at the end of an operation?

If in process sample is to be de ned, assign inspection type 03 in the Material Master. Then create
MICs and assign them in the Routings. System automatically generates the Inspection Lots

Q. Where we have to specify the teardown time in one operation?

Teardown time can be de ned as one of the Standard Parameters…

Q. How the process time is calculated in a WC when both labour, Machine categories exist?
Scheduling is done based on the Capacity Category we de ne in the Workcenter

Q. How to create opbject dependencies in a BOM FOR A CONFIGURABLE MATERIAL?

Go to Extras -> Object Dependency -> Assign
For this U need to create Characteristics and Class (of Class Type 300) earlier

Q. Can any body explain me why work scheduling view is required for semi nished and
nished products?
(Because we’ll mention all details in MRP views)
We need to maintain working scheduling view in order to make that nished or semi nished
