Comparing MD07 – MD04 Vs Monitor material coverage app – 2/2

[Narasimha]

The blog post aims to evaluate the Monitor material coverage app features WRT  classical tools MD04 and MD07 with use cases.

Please go through the previous blog for other use cases while comparing MD04-MD07- Monitor Material coverage app

Use Case 3: Material type – Raw material, Initial stock -0, No supply elements, Future demand exits.

Let us create future demand (Say tomorrow) by creating a manual reservation -MB21

Use Case 4 : Material type – Raw material, Initial stock -200, No supply elements, Future demand exits and surplus situation.

The above screens show the surplus situation in MD04, MD07, and Green bars in the Material coverage app.

Let us add future demand.

There are many blog posts on features of the Monitor material coverage app. I will not repeat them, however, will put a few screenshots to cover a few important features.

When you access Manage materials, you will get into the monitor coverage app, which looks like the one below.

The stock requirement list in Fiori would look like below when MRP is run

You can see that you can easily edit PO date and other options.

 

Conclusion: Material coverage and monitor material apps are very useful apps which add value to existing MD07 transaction.

Do give feedback on any other important features I may have missed comparing these objects.

Thanks for the blog.The PO option- "requested-waiting for answer-" does it change S/R date ?.

[former_member834835]

Simple explanation

[former_member834837]

Thanks.MD04 in Fiori is looking much simpler

[Narasimha]

Thanks Chandra

[Narasimha]

Thanks Hasan

[Narasimha]

No Girija.

As always, very useful. I liked your way of testing it with manual reservation.

[former_member834956]

Good one. For PO 3 radio buttons, is there any report which says , which are the pOs where ate changed/ requested-waiting for answer /request later ? This report would be very helpful for procurement team

[former_member807425]

Running MRP every now and then, somehow doesn't look practical in live environment

[former_member43157]

Does this solve MD06 issue ? Looks like revoke acceptance shortage can do some trick

[former_member807228]

That is a very good point.

[Narasimha]

No. This works on MD07  (live data) , revoke acceptance - I am still testing. will come out with its features

[Narasimha]

Although, I have implemented in 2 sites, users are still hesitant to use this feature.

[Narasimha]

Not explored Sahil

Thanks Deepa

Another quality document. Keep posting

[former_member820002]

Good one. What do you mean by MD04=-MD07- Monitor Material coverage app?

[former_member834835]

Can you explain new features for Manufactured materials just like you id for Raw materials?

[former_member834837]

I think It is MD04-MD07 (Typo) , but in my opinion, the app is to be compared only with MD07. Md04 is not relevant here.

[former_member834837]

Yes Deepa, even I liked it. I don't have to wait for SD/MM/PP guys to give me demand to complete my demo to user. Super cool way of demo.

[former_member807425]

We need to check if we run MRP and create PR-convert to PO and rerun MRP. Will it create another dependent requirement?

[former_member834837]

Yes, but only one issue is how it shows exceptions (I know how it shows schedule in and out)

[Narasimha]

Will do Hasan.

[Narasimha]

I am not sure, if it shows all error messages in the Fiori

[Narasimha]

Thanks Chavi

[Narasimha]

Yes It is mistake.  I used MD04 because, in Fiori S/R list shows different layout

[former_member811987]

Good questions

[former_member811987]

There are many Monitor material coverage apps. Which one should be used for which scenarios?

[former_member830911]

I believe some are for MTO and some are for MTS
