Documentation
Definition
Percentage probability that a material will be used in the assembly.
Use
The usage probability is always taken into account for requirements planning.
Procedure
Maintain selected usage probability
Requirements planning for alternative items is based on the usage probability.
Quantities are suggested based on the usage probability for the withdrawal posting according to strategy 1. You can plan in excess for the alternative items since the usage probability is not limited to 100%. You can change the proposed quantities. Maintain no usage probability If you do not enter a usage probability, the alternative item just serves as information that can be evaluated, for example, in a situation with a missing part.
You receive a warning since dependent requirements with 0 as quantity are created.
Examples
Withdrawal based on usage probability
Strategy: value 1
An alternative item group is maintained for each assembly. This alternative item group contains four materials with differing usage probabilities. Dependent requirements are passed on with 100 as quantity.
Material Usage probability (%) Requirement
M-1 70 70
M-2 20 20
M-3 20 20
M-4 0 no requirement
In this case, the materials are planned in excess since the sum of the usage probabilities is greater than 100%.
Dependencies
Supplementary Documentation - EWAHR 0001
Use
The usage probability serves as a tool for planning material requirements for BOM components or for advance planning of variant parts of a standard product.
