What determines the Requirement Type?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Would appreaciate if anyone can tell what determines the Requirement Type (ReqTy) of the Sales Order.

Two sales order are created using the same material:

(Material used is of Strategy Group 20 : Make-to-order production)

Sales Order #1: The ReqTy is KSL-Sale frm stck w/o ind.req.red. (accept the default ReqTy)

Sales Order #2: The ReqTy is 011-Delivery requirement (accept the default ReqTy)

For the same material, sometimes the ReqTy is KSL, sometimes it is 011.

Another question is that in the ReqTy field, when F4 is clicked to show all the possible selections for ReqTy, there ain't KSL. Although there is no KSL in the ReqTy list, but KSL is defaulted in the Sales Order.

Please shine some light.

Thanks.

Hi,

Some sort of search strategy is used in determining Req. Type.

1.If the strategy group has been maintained for the material, it'll use that to find the req. type.(Tcode: OPPS)

2.If the strategy group has not been maintained, it'll determine req. type using MRP Group.

3.If MRP group has not been maintained for the material,the system will use special rules to determine req. Type.

i.It'll use item category and MRP Type to determine Req. Type.(TCode: OVZI)

ii. If this is not possible, it'll use item category only to find req. type.

iii. If all these things fail, system declares the transaction as not relevant for the availablity chk or TOR.

Hope it'll be useful to you.

Thanks & Regards,

Requirements type is triggered from the requirement class. Requirement class is triggered from two places:

1) Strategy group in material master which is turn will check for requirements class maintained in the strategy in OPPS transaction as explained by Lashmipathi.

2) From the configuration done in OVZI for Item category and MRP type. If origin is maintained as 1 then always this will be given priority over the requirements class triggered from material master.

Dear Wooi Ling

First, for Strategy Group 20, the Requirement type would have been KE and not KSL.

Second, if you wanted to check from where it is flowing, go to T.Code OPPS and see what is maintained for strategy 20.

Of course, for strategy 11, Requirement type KSL is correct.
