Hello All,
We have one activity which is being scheduled for duration of 4 months. It has one component & the requirement quantity is 1000 kg.
The requirement for this component gets generated at the start of the activity for the whole quantity.
Because of the budget gets locked up in the first month itself. Can we spread this quantity over a period based on the days. For ex. if the start date is 15th of June then out of 1000 kg the requirement of 125 kg should be generated for the month of June. For July, August & Sept it should be 250 kg each & for Oct it has to be 125 kg as it completes on 14 Oct.
How to map this? If this is not possible then can we distribute the planned cost of the material across the period equally?
Awaiting your positive responses.

Hi,
You can have 1000 kg requirement on activity. When buyer creates PO, let buyer provide split delivery schedule to vendor so that you will have multiple GRs as you needed.
Thanks,

Plan material costs in network activities are not distributed over the activity duration.
You can use material components and possibly invoice plans
to plan your material costs by period.
a Modification to Function module KALK_MATERIAL_PREPLANNING
may help achieve the functionality

Don't do any extra activity as you create PR for required qty as do that, then you can manage this scenario via PO with split delivery schedule.

Hello Sudhakar/ Sanjeev,
The solution suggested by you will require manual intervention. I need something auto wherein the cost of the quantity (or the quantity) will get distributed evenly across the activity period.
I am also thinking for suitable lot size procedure to map this.
Any other solution/ suggestion on this?

Manoj,
Distribution of material requirement over activity duration is possible in Standard SAP. You have to configure the distribution key, you will find that key in the general data tab. But, it will distribute only the quantity not the cost, say if your activity duration is for 30 days and let say 15days fall on current month and last 15days on next month and you need 1 PC of material every day, it is possible using distribution key, system will generate requirments for every day 1 PC, you can see it in MD04, but the cost will not get distributed like that.
Hello Sanjeev,
I elaborate you with the example.
We have planned one activity from 15th June to 15th of July. The material is assigned to the activity. Under normal condition the requirement of the material will be generated on the requirement date, say 15th of June.
As the whole quantity is not required at the start of the activity we want to distribute the quantity over the activity period. So half of the quantity will be for the month of June & remaining will be for July. Accordingly the cost also have to be split.
Hope you have understood my requirement.
Manoj P.
