Dear Shridhar Jannu,
Transfer of Requirements
By means of the transfer of requirements, the MRP department is informed about the quantities and deadlines by which incoming orders should be delivered. The system checks the availability of the goods based on the requested delivery date of the customer and creates MRP records which contain all necessary information for passing on to materials planning. The transfer of requirements ensures that the goods are available in time for the delivery. Materials planning transfers the reported requirements and creates production orders or purchase requisitions from them, for example.
The following sections on the transfer of requirements describe how to control the transfer of requirements.
The transfer of requirements is basically dependent upon the following factors:
requirements type
requirement class
check group
schedule line category
Note
The transfer of requirements is controlled globally using the requirements class which is derived from the requirements type for all sales document types. For the sales document types, fine tuning is also possible at schedule line level. This fine tuning is described in the section "Defining the procedure for each schedule line category".
Note that the requirements classes are also used in production so you should coordinate any changes to the requirements classes with production. The requirements type and, eventually, requirements class are determined in the strategy group so all changes made there should also be coordinated with production.
Requirements transferred to planning are further processed in the module MM. You must, therefore, coordinate the transfer of requirements with the module MM.
Requirements
For controlling transfer of requirements, you have to carry out the following steps:
1. Each requirement type has to be allocated to one requirement class only.
2. The transfer of requirements must be switched on at requirements class level, the sales documents at schedule line level.
3. You must define a check group. It is possible to have this check group proposed for the initial creation of a material master record.
4. Note that a plant must exist for transfer of requirements to be carried out at document item level.
Note
Requirements transferred to planning are further processed in the module MM. You must, therefore, coordinate the transfer of requirements with the module MM.
