Summary :
Materials Planning challenges with reorder point planning (MRP types VB or VM) are identified where reservations, sales orders, and other future requirements are not factored into material planning runs, causing potential material shortages. This note emphasizes the non-inclusion of certain demand types during automatic planning which affects reorder triggering and lot-size calculation. SAP recommends using MRP type 'PD' for more comprehensive demand planning or adjusting Customizing settings to include these external requirements from Release 3.0D onward. Additionally, the note details changes in MRP types and the systematic consideration of reservations and dependent requirements tailored to specific business process needs. Modifications in system behavior post-Release 4.0A are also explained for better planning accuracy.
