Plant wise Document Types with different Number Ranges for MRP PR’s
Hello SAP Friends,
Introduction
In this blog Post, we are going to achieve the different document types and the number range for MRP generates PR’s for each plant.
Different number range need for standard PR Document type “NB” read below SAP Blog Post (it already posted by one of our friends)
https://blogs.sap.com/2014/07/10/plant-wise-number-ranges-for-mrp-prs/
Here we are going to explain the different document types with different number ranges for MRP PR’s.
Solution
Step-1
Define a new PR Document Types
IMG path: Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Define Document Types
Create a new PR document type by Copying “NB” document type then only all dependent data will copy.
Step-2
Define a new number range
IMG path: Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Define Number Ranges (TCode – OMH7)
(or)
IMG path: Production->Material Requirements Planning->Number Ranges->Define Number Ranges for Planning Run (TCode – OMDN)
Select ‘Intervals’ under ‘Purchase Requisitions’. Click on ‘Change interval’ button. From the next window click on ‘New item’ icon and define the new number range there with a proper sequence.
Step-3
Create MRP group for each plant and assign a PR document type
IMG path: Production->Material Requirements Planning->MRP Groups->Carry out overall Maintenance of MRP Groups
Create the MRP group by giving “Plant” and “MRP Group name” and assign PR document types by clicking “Scheduling/Document Type” under the External Procurement heading
Step-4
Define MRP group for each Material Type
If we define MRP group for each material type then we avoid the manual intervention of maintaining in each Material Master.
IMG path: Production->Material Requirements Planning->MRP Groups->Define MRP Group for Each Material Type
Click “New Entries” then define MRP group by providing Material Type, Plant and MRP Group
Step-5
Assign the number range for Purchase Requisition
IMG path: Production->Material Requirements Planning->Number Ranges->Define Number Ranges for Planning Run
RUN MRP and check the results
Prerequisites – Set all necessary PP Master data
You can see MRP generate PR’s with different document types and the number range for each plant
Eg: PR#41000000 is generated for plant-1000 with “ZN1” document type
PR#51000000 is generated for plant-2000 with “ZN2” document type
Note: This configuration will overwrite the PR Number Range assigned in document type and default document type for requisition in PP (refer below screenshot)
I hope you will also have a great time at SAP. I would be happy if you could share your experience with us! Looking forward to your comments 😊

But it doesn't explain the number ranges of purchase requisitions document type , ZN1 or ZN2 in your example.
Mrp just used number ranged based on plant number ranges. How to assign different number range for different document type under same plant ?
For example ;
Plant MRP Group Document Type Number
1000 1000 ZN1 A001
1000 2000 ZN2 B001
