MRP controller as Navigational Attribute.

[Former Member]

APO Gurus,

One of the requirements I have is to use MRP controller as navigational attribute. My question is do we have to create a compound Characteristic (Material-plant) and assign this MRP controller as a navigational attribute to this compound characteristic created ? or do I have any other option where I can still have this mrp controller as navigational attribute without creating compound characteristic?

Hi,

The use of the navigational attribute is something you can configure and fill yourself and depends on your business model.

If you use the 0MAT_PLANT as indicated by Rishi, you are using a compound characteristic which is the default way of working.

However this is no prereq to create or set a navigational attribute.

You should have an main/header InfoObject en add the MRP controller to it and put the MRP controller to: NAVIGATIONAL attribute.

Good luck!

You can create a regular characteristic like 0MAT_PLANT which would have concatenated values of material + Plant (for eg.g, xxxxxxxxxx_yyyy) and then add navigational attributes to this characteristic.
