When performing MRP Run in SAP, how to exclude certain Storage locations

The Issue

There are times where a certain storage location in a warehouse is to be excluded from MRP Planning. How do we achieve this?

The Solution

It is certainly possible in SAP. There are 2 steps to follow.
1) For materials that are already extended to the storage that you would like to exclude from MRP, go to Change Material in t-code MM02. Then select MRP 4 View. Here, put value 1 at field Sloc MRP Indicator.

2) For materials which are not created, the above setting can be done automatically in SAP. Go to T-code OMIR, set value 1 at the MRP Ind. column for the related storage locations. By doing this, future materials which are extended to the particular storages will automatically have a value 1 at field Sloc MRP Indicator in MRP 4 view.
