Output Coefficient

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

In the production source master data I'm setting an output coefficient different from 1, but the system seems to ignore it.

Example MD:

Production Source:

Location ID	Product ID	Source ID	Output Product Coefficient
LOC1	PROD1	LOC1_PROD1_S1	100
LOC1	PROD2	LOC1_PROD2_S2	100

Production Resource:

Resource ID	Source ID	Capacity Consumption Rate
LOC1_RES1	LOC1_PROD1_S1	8
LOC1_RES1	LOC1_PROD2_S2	8

I was expecting the following behavior:

Capacity demand = (production quantity / output coefficient) * capacity consumption rate

So, for the production of 100 pieces the capacity demand should be 8

Instead, the system ignore the output coefficient and for 100 pieces the capacity demand is 800.

Is the output coefficient relevant only for component quantity calculation?

Hello Patrizia,

OutputCoefficient is only relevant for Production Source Item or BOM item w.r.t ComponentCoefficient.

The   Capacity Demand = Net Demand * Capacity Consumption rate. (If all demand is sourced with PRATIO=1)

Capacity Consumption rate is units of capacity required to produce one unit of product on a resource.

In your example if NetDemand is 100 and capacity consumption rate = 8 then

capacity demand = 800

Hope this clarifies.
