MD04 has many hidden powerful and useful functions. Knowing them could make our daily work easier to evalute MRP results.

1.  **Set a manual firming date.**
    
    You can set a manual firming date by menu ‘Edit’ > ‘Set Firming Date’.  
    [![MD04-firm 01.png][]][MD04-firm 01.png 1]Receipts lying before the firming date are firmed (an asterisk is added to the MRP element)and won’t be changed by MRP running.   For example, if you increase the PIR quantity to 10 and run MRP again, the firmed proposal (schedule line in this case) within 12.12.2014 is not changed. A new proposal is created to cover the requirement on the manual firming date.   
2.  [![MD04-firm 05.png][]][MD04-firm 05.png 1]  
    Please note this is an examplle when using MRP type “PD” with blank firming type.  Read the F1 help of this field for restrictions and dependencies.
3.  **Add additional navigation buttons**  
      
    You may also refer to the following SCN document with similar information:  
    [Icons for frequently used transactions in MD04][]
    
    You can add an additional navigation button for a particular MRP element by maintaining favorites, or add a series of buttons for different MRP elements by defining a navigation profile.
    
    **– Maintaining favorites for an MRP element**  
      For example, display a purchase order in MD04.  Click the button ‘Maintain favorites’.  
    [![MD04-button 01.png][]][MD04-button 01.png 1]  
    Click button ‘New entries’.  You can maintain the fields by yourself or make use of existing examples by clicking button ‘Examples’.  
    [![MD04-button 02.png][]][MD04-button 02.png 1]
    
    [![MD04-button 03.png][]][MD04-button 03.png 1]  
    Check the result in MD04.  A new button is displayed which can lead you to transaction MDM2.  
    [![MD04-button 04.png][]][MD04-button 04.png 1]  
    **– Navigation profile**  
    In MD04, go to menu ‘Settings’ > ‘Settings…’.  
    [![MD04-button 05.png][]][MD04-button 05.png 1]  
    Enter a navigation profile in tab ‘General settings’ > field ‘Navigation profile’

    Check MD04 again.  Additional buttons are added.  
    [![MD04-button 07.png][]][MD04-button 07.png 1]  
    Define or view a navigation profile. Go to SPRO > Production > Material Requirements Planning > Evaluation > Define Navigation Profiles

5.  **Filter displayed MRP elements**
    
    If there are many MRP elements displayed, you may want to use filter to display certain type of MRP elements.   
    [![MD04-filter 01.png][]][MD04-filter 01.png 1]
    
    **– Display filter**  
      You can define a display filter in customizing : SPRO >  Production > Material Requirements Planning > Evaluation > Filter > Define Display Filter  
    [![MD04-filter 05.png][]][MD04-filter 05.png 1]  
    [![MD04-filter 06.png][]][MD04-filter 06.png 1]  
    [![MD04-filter 07.png][]][MD04-filter 07.png 1]  
    [![MD04-filter 08.png][]][MD04-filter 08.png 1]  
    **– Selection rule**  
    You can define a selection rule in customizing : SPRO >  Production > Material Requirements Planning > Evaluation > Filter > Define Selection Rules  
    ![md04\_filter\_09\_577410.png][md04_filter_09_577410.png]![uploading.4e448015.gif][]转存失败重新上传取消[![MD04-filter 09.png][md04_filter_09_577410.png]][MD04-filter 09.png_md04_filter_09_577410.png]  
    [![MD04-filter 10.png][]][MD04-filter 10.png 1]  
    [![MD04-filter 11.png][]][MD04-filter 11.png 1]
    
    You can also configure whether you’d like to use filter by default when accessing MD04, menu ‘Settings’ > ‘Settings’.  
    [![MD04-filter 12.png][]][MD04-filter 12.png 1]
    
    So what is the difference between ‘Display filter’ and ‘Selection rule’?  I’ll explain it with a simple example.
    
    **– Original situation in MD04**  
    [![MD04-filter 13.png][]][MD04-filter 13.png 1]  
    **– Apply a display filter which only displays receipts**  
    [![MD04-filter 14.png][]][MD04-filter 14.png 1]  
    **– Apply a selection rule which only displays receipts**  
    [![MD04-filter 15.png][]][MD04-filter 15.png 1]  
    As you can see, selction rule will affect the available quantity displayed in MD04.
6.  **Material Grouping and Cross-Plant View**
