Predictive Material and Resource Planning (pMRP)
Hello Friends,
In this Blog will discuss What’s New about Predictive Material and Resource Planning (pMRP)
With SAP latest release on 1909 HANA On-Premises Version, new functionality has been introduced to improve Capacity Issues, the new functionality is pMRP – Predictive Material and Resource Planning
The same is available in 1905 Cloud version as well
Before we go in detail it’s not Existing MRP (Material Requirement Planning) it’s a brand new functionality.
PMRP helps us to identify capacity load issues and solve them early in the planning stage itself.
The main motto of pMRP is to identify capacity issues and to evaluate possible cases at early based on the requirements plan it uses a simplified material requirements algorithm.
Based on the results of the simulation, production planners or Shopfloof incharges will take decisions on changed conditions, for example, whether to make the product or buy the product.
pMRP Process
pMRP Process will as per below flow, will discuss in detail one by one. before that Master Data is Important
Basic Data for pMRP
Before working on pMRP simulations, we need to make sure that we have basic MRP data active versions.
Make sure that we have the following basic data available:
- Material
- Bill of Material
- Work center
- Routing
- Production version
- Planned Independent Requirements (PIRs)
- Define Simulation
- Copy and Simplify Master Data = Reference Plan
- Create pMRP Simulations
By using New Fiori Apps Schedule pMRP Simulation Creation
With this App, we can schedule pMRP simulations. In order to process simulations, the system creates data based on our operative data for material resource planning. This data is used as reference data in pMRP
- Process pMRP Simulations
With this App, we can create multiple simulations, check the impact of simulated changes to capacity or demands, and make decisions for our production planning team.
with this app we can also perform Demand Plan Simulation & Capacity Plan Simulation in each simulation we will have different parameters that can be simulated or adjust accordingly
This is a high-level overview of pMRP, and my understanding of the functionality very soon the same will be processed in the HANA 1909 system and will share in detailed knowledge with step by step process
Please like and share with others as well.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Ruthvik Chowdary
Really it's very Interesting innovation in 1909,
Looking Forward to seeing in System with steps 🙂
Sure L V K Janardan Vaitla, Once I get hands-on 1909 will share in detail with steps

Hi Ruthvik,
Great Work and effort in sharing your knowledge to SAP World,
Keep it up.
Thank you very Much Former Member
Hi Ruthvik,
I am looking for Predictive Material and Resource Planning (pMRP) documentation or the process steps. If available can you please share .
Email: vamsiakula26@gmail.com
Thanks & Regards,
Akula.
Sure I'm working on Process Steps, once done will share with you
Hello Ruthvik, do you have step to step process pMRP?
Please share Surajrajak108@gmail.com
Thanks For Sharing.....
Welcome Lalit Rawat
Hey Sivaji, Can you find out step to step process document, please share with me Surajrajak108@gmail.com
Hi Sivaji Kumar Madhu Kiran Akula
Refer https://blogs.sap.com/2019/12/22/predictive-material-and-resource-planning-pmrp-steps/
two questions:
Hi Doug
1 They are Planning Steps before we start Simulation .
2. Check if App OData is activated along with CIF Path with the help of Security & Basis Team
Hi Doug Gibson , Ruthvik Chowdary ,
I’m having the same issue with #2. Everything specified on the fiori apps library page is activated.
User has sap-all and the role SAP_BR_PRODN_PLNR. Other scheduling apps such as "Schedule mRP run " , for example, do not show this behavior.
Did any of you find a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Dear Maxim,
Did you find a solution for the same.
Regards
Naveen Jain
Good Explanation on pMRP. can you please share steps to execute pMRP in terms of activation and all
I'm Working on it once completed will share
