Documentation

Definition

Specifies that the stock query for generic materials is broken down according to the related variants.

Use

If you set this indicator, the system determines the variants for the generic materials in the stock query and determines the stocks separately for these variants. The breakdown is for all the queried stocks, including stocks at storage location level, special stocks, and stock commitments.

Dependencies

If you set this indicator, the system ignores the variants that are explicitly specified.

For information about how the queried stock data (broken down or aggregated, if applicable) is made available, see the documentation for method GET of class CL_INVENTORY_LOOKUP.

Example

You run a stock query for stock data at storage location level for material M001 in plant P001. Material M001 has variants M001001, M001002, and M001003. If you set this indicator, the system determines the stock data for the following combinations. The entry for the generic material contains the total of the stocks for the variants:

Material    Generic Material    Plant

M001    M001    P001

M001001    M001    P001

M001002    M001    P001

M001003    M001    P001
