Creating Planned Independent Requirements (PIRs) in SAP (MD61): Driving Demand-Based Production Plan

Welcome to this session on creating Planned Independent Requirements (PIRs) in SAP using transaction MD61. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to create, manage, and validate forecasted demand for finished products — a foundational activity in SAP’s Demand Management and Production Planning modules. Planned Independent Requirements (PIRs) represent anticipated customer demand before actual sales orders arrive. By maintaining PIRs, organizations ensure that their production and procurement plans are proactive, not reactive. You’ll walk step-by-step through how to access the PIR creation screen, enter forecasted quantities, save your entries, and verify that your planned requirements appear in the Stock/Requirements List (MD04). This validation ensures the data you enter feeds directly into MRP runs, supporting efficient and synchronized planning across departments. Using PepsiCo as an example, you’ll see how planners across global bottling plants rely on PIRs to anticipate seasonal peaks, promotional campaigns, and new product launches. By the end of this lesson, you’ll understand how to use SAP to create, save, and verify PIRs — helping your organization achieve demand-driven planning, optimized production, and timely procurement. 📘 What You’ve Learned 1️⃣ Understand the concept of Planned Independent Requirements (PIRs) and how they drive demand-driven production planning in SAP. 2️⃣ Learn how PIRs connect forecasting, production scheduling, and procurement planning. 3️⃣ Navigate to the PIR creation screen using the SAP menu path or transaction code MD61. 4️⃣ Enter the Material Number to identify the product for which demand is being forecasted. 5️⃣ Input the Plant Number (e.g., 1000) to define the specific production location. 6️⃣ Specify the Planning Version, typically “0” for the active version, used for standard operational planning. 7️⃣ Press Enter to access the planning table and confirm system readiness for data entry. 8️⃣ Input forecast quantities into the relevant period fields (e.g., weekly, monthly, or quarterly). 9️⃣ Learn how PIRs are used by MRP to automatically generate procurement proposals and planned orders. 🔟 Click Save to store your PIRs in SAP, ensuring they are available for future planning runs. 1️⃣1️⃣ Verify PIRs through the Stock/Requirements List (MD04) to confirm their successful creation and visibility to MRP. 1️⃣2️⃣ Navigate to MD04 via the SAP menu path or directly using transaction code MD04. 1️⃣3️⃣ Review the requirement elements in the Stock/Requirements List and identify the newly created PIR entries. 1️⃣4️⃣ Understand how PIRs appear alongside sales orders, purchase requisitions, and planned orders in MD04. 1️⃣5️⃣ Recognize the critical role of PIR accuracy in preventing shortages, overproduction, and emergency purchasing. 1️⃣6️⃣ See how regularly updating PIRs keeps supply chain plans current and aligned with changing market conditions. 1️⃣7️⃣ Learn how PIR data supports collaboration between sales, production, and procurement teams. 1️⃣8️⃣ Explore how SAP uses PIRs to improve forecast accuracy and production stability. 1️⃣9️⃣ Understand that consistent PIR maintenance contributes directly to inventory optimization and cost efficiency. 2️⃣0️⃣ Apply the full PIR creation and validation process to build more responsive and proactive planning workflows in your organization. 👥 Who It’s For ❶ Production Planners and Demand Managers who forecast material requirements and ensure production schedules match expected demand. ❷ Procurement and Supply Chain Teams responsible for ensuring timely material availability based on future demand. ❸ Material Requirements Planning (MRP) Analysts who run MRP and monitor planned orders derived from PIRs. ❹ Finance and Operations Managers who need better visibility into demand forecasts to plan budgets and resources effectively. ❺ SAP PP and MM Consultants, Power Users, and Learners seeking to master the integration of demand management with production planning and procurement. 🏁 Summary In this session, you learned how to create Planned Independent Requirements (PIRs) in SAP using transaction MD61 and verify them through MD04 (Stock/Requirements List). You walked through entering material, plant, and version details, inputting forecast quantities, saving your data, and confirming that the planned requirements appear in SAP’s planning tools. You now understand that PIRs are the foundation of demand-driven production planning, allowing organizations to prepare materials, labor, and capacity in advance of customer demand. Maintaining accurate PIRs ensures seamless MRP execution, optimized inventory levels, and smoother production flows. #SAPERP #SAPTraining #SAPLearning #SAPModules #EnterpriseResourcePlanning #DigitalTransformation #SAPForBeginners #SAPImplementation #ERPSolutions #ERP #SAP #ECC #sappp #sappptraining #sappptutorialforbeginners #sapppcourse
