Question:
Hi all,
While creating a phantom item material master, is it nessesary to use the settings on MRP1 (MRP type as PD and an MRP controler)? Wouldn't it work without?
Also, I think we don't have to maintain the 'inhouse prod time' and 'scheduling margin key', am I right?
Can anyone let me know what all keys are mandatory in MRP1,2,3 &4 views during the creation of a phantom item?
Thanks in advance,
PPjunior.
Answer:
Hi pp junior,
It is not mandatory to maintain the fileds that U have mentioned. However, there is no harm maintaining them in case U decide to regularise the material later.
cheers
Answer:
In MRP1 view,
1. Procurement type -'E'
2. Special procurement type - '50' and
3. MRP type type -'PD' is must.

Hi,
You've mentioned that MRP type 'PD' is must, can you explain its significance?
Thanks,

Answer:
Hi PP junior,
While creating any material certain fields are mandatory depending of the materiall type you use.
Most material types will have mandatory fields in MRP1 & 2 screens.
eg Base UOm, MRP type, lot size , procurement type as mandatory fields.
You are right ;you dont have to mainatin the 'inhouse prod time' and 'scheduling margin key'
For phantom materials E & 50 is most important. Mrp type U may maintain ND as well.
If you still dont want certain mandatory fields then only option is to customise a new material type with relevant fields only for phantom materials
Hope this helps you.

Answer:
Hi RRS
In creation of material master we can make the fields optional/mandatory or hide. MRP type can also be set optional. In T.Code OMSR find the field selection group for MARC-DISMM.In field selection data screen find the field selection group. Here you can define wether the entry is optional or required.
