You have just installed MRS on your ERP system and now you want to kick start your planning with MRS. It is easy and basic tests can be done in just 15 minutes ! Step 0: Check if the system is ready for tests. Check the following points. If one or more checks fail - write a mail to the system administrator and get it resolved before proceeding for testing. - Check in table T000 if the logical system for the defined for the testing client.
- Check that the system is open for customizing changes and correction changes.
- If the testing client is not delivery client (000) then make sure that the delivery customizing is imported before you proceed.
Step 1: Make sure that you have employees created in your SAP HR system and make sure that the work schedule is created.
Step 2: In transaction PPOME check that the resources are assigned to the org units (positions).
Step 3: Customize settings in MRS (transaction /MRSS/IMG). Note: Maintain only the settings described here. Do not maintain / change any other MRS customizing. This will be a test to check if the delivery customizing is maintained correctly or not!
a) HR Integration->Configure Settings for HR Integration - Define the work and work break entries here. The entry should look like this:
b) MRS Basis->Define Time Allocation Types - Define the time allocation types WORK and WORK_BREAK here. The entries should look like this:
c) MRS Basis->Assign Time Allocation Types to Resource Types - Assign the time allocation types to the Human resources
d) Sources of Demand->Orders->Define resource planning relevance for PM/CS orders - Define the Order integration here.
e) Basic Settings->Assign ERP Objects->Assign Work Center Types - Assign the work center category (Of the work center to be created in step 6) to WCPN (WC for Planning node). This is required so that during the forward integration, the linked Org unit for a work center can be found.Step 4: Run the availability transfer report /MRSS/HCM_RPTWFMIF for the resources.
Step 5: Implement the note 1380802 (if you are running MRS 700) for PM/CS integration. Make sure that no manual corrections are required. The note implementation should be automatic.
Note: If you are running MRS 610 use note: 1135513 instead of 1380802. Step 6: Check that in CR03, the work center (that you plan to use) has the HRMS link to the org units.
Step 7: Create a sample order from transaction IW31 and save. If you want to integrate the existing orders, then just open and save the order again.
Step 8: Launch planning board via transaction /MRSS/PLBOORG. You should see the resources and their working times transferred. You should also see the sample order created in Step 7. Drag and drop the demand on the resource. The assignment must be created.
What have we tested?
With the above 15 minute test - we have validated following points: - The minimum required customizing is maintained correctly.
- The MRS integration works
- The resource availability is transferred correctly.
Troubleshooting:
- The Order I created does not appear on the planning board - Check the customizing in step 3-d. Confirm the note in step 5 has been correctly implemented. Check that the work center is correctly created as described in step 6. If you still don't get the order... raise a flag!
- I can see the resources in planning board but the work timings are weird - Check your customizing in steps 3-a, 3-b and 3-c. If necessary, delete the resource data using the same report and run the availability transfer report once again after correcting the customizing. If you still don't see the correct data... raise a flag!
