Hi

Please see below for Individual and collective indicators

Dependent requirements ind. for individual and coll. reqmts

Indicator determining whether the following requirements are allowed for the dependent requirements of the material:

Individual requirements

Requirement quantities of the dependent material are stated individually.

Collective requirements

Requirement quantities of the dependent material are grouped together.

Use

You can maintain this indicator in the following places:

In the material master record

For the explosion type of the BOM item (in Customizing for Basic Data in Define Explosion Types)

The setting for the explosion type overrides that in the material master record.

Dependencies

If the material is assigned to a material type that does not allow quantity-based inventory management in this plant, you can set the indicator to individual requirements only.

If the stock is to be managed in sales order stock or project stock, the indicator must be set to one of the following options:

Individual and collective requirements

Individual requirements only

If a material managed in project stock is to be procured from another plant using a cross-company-code stock transport order, the indicator must be set to 2 (collective requirements) in the issuing plant because, in this specific context, individual project stock management is not possible in both plants.

For Configuration profile in variant configuration

The configuration profile for a material controls the configuration process in sales order. Configurable profile also used to define central settings for configuring the object. Using this profile it is possible to hide some of the characteristic value defined during characteristic creation. We can assign any number profile for a configurable material in which selection is based on either priority or manual selection during configuration.
