MD04 has many hidden powerful and useful functions. Knowing them could make our daily work easier to evalute MRP results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Set a manual firming date.<\/strong><\/a><\/a>You can set a manual firming date by menu \u2018Edit\u2019 > \u2018Set Firming Date\u2019.

    Receipts lying before the firming date are firmed (an asterisk is added to the MRP element)and won\u2019t be changed by MRP running.   For example, if you increase the PIR quantity to 10 and run MRP again, the firmed proposal (schedule line in this case) within 12.12.2014 is not changed. A new proposal is created to cover the requirement on the manual firming date.   

    Please note this is an examplle when using MRP type \u201cPD\u201d with blank firming type.  Read the F1 help of this field for restrictions and dependencies.<\/li>
  2. Add additional navigation buttons
    <\/strong>
    You may also refer to the following SCN document with similar information:
    Icons for frequently used transactions in MD04<\/a>You can add an additional navigation button for a particular MRP element by maintaining favorites, or add a series of buttons for different MRP elements by defining a navigation profile.<\/a><\/a>\u2013 Maintaining favorites for an MRP element<\/strong>
      For example, display a purchase order in MD04.  Click the button \u2018Maintain favorites\u2019.

    Click button \u2018New entries\u2019.  You can maintain the fields by yourself or make use of existing examples by clicking button \u2018Examples\u2019.
    <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
    Check the result in MD04.  A new button is displayed which can lead you to transaction MDM2.

    \u2013 Navigation profile<\/strong>
    In MD04, go to menu \u2018Settings\u2019 > \u2018Settings\u2026\u2019.

    Enter a navigation profile in tab \u2018General settings\u2019 > field \u2018Navigation profile\u2019

    Check MD04 again.  Additional buttons are added.

    Define or view a navigation profile. Go to SPRO > Production > Material Requirements Planning > Evaluation > Define Navigation Profiles

    <\/li>
  3. Filter displayed MRP elements<\/strong><\/a>If there are many MRP elements displayed, you may want to use filter to display certain type of MRP elements. 
    <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>\u2013 Display filter<\/strong>
      You can define a display filter in customizing : SPRO >  Production > Material Requirements Planning > Evaluation > Filter > Define Display Filter




    \u2013 Selection rule<\/strong>
    You can define a selection rule in customizing : SPRO >  Production > Material Requirements Planning > Evaluation > Filter > Define Selection Rules


    <\/a>You can also configure whether you\u2019d like to use filter by default when accessing MD04, menu \u2018Settings\u2019 > \u2018Settings\u2019.
    So what is the difference between \u2018Display filter\u2019 and \u2018Selection rule\u2019?  I\u2019ll explain it with a simple example.    <\/a><\/a><\/a>\u2013 Original situation in MD04<\/strong>

    \u2013 Apply a display filter which only displays receipts<\/strong>

    \u2013 Apply a selection rule which only displays receipts<\/strong>

    As you can see, selction rule will affect the available quantity displayed in MD04.<\/li>
