Use

In this IMG activity, you can specify that in the stock/requirements list in addition to the classical individual material view the integrated planning situation for several materials belonging to a so-called material grouping is to be presented as a further view.

You have the following options for the selection of a material grouping:

  • APO supersession chains:The planning situation shows the planning data of all interchangeable materials belonging to a supersession chain (from APO).
  • Product groups: All materials belonging to a product group are integrated in the planning situation to an organizational unit (plant or MRP area).
  • Cross-plant material grouping: The planning situation comprises the planning data of a material in all plants (and MRP areas) in which the stipulated material has been created.
  • Customer-specific-defined material grouping: Here you can display the consolidated planning situation for a self-defined material grouping (defined and controlled via BADI).

These views can then be displayed as required on your own tab pages that can be switched on in Customizing in addition to the individual material view.

The new views thus provide you with an overview of the integrated planning situation for all materials that are part of a material grouping. This ranges from the integrated stock situation to the time sequence of requirements and receipts of the members and the horizons of the materials involved.

Under the personal settings for the stock/requirements list (Settings -> Settings), you can also specify whether:

  • The planning data is to be displayed in aggregated or non-aggregated form: In the aggregated view, the stock data is cumulated and the available quantity is calculated jointly for the integrated list of all materials. In the non-aggregated view, the stocks and horizons are listed for each material individually and the available quantity calculated for each individual material.
  • Stock transfers are to be shown or hidden: If they are hidden, you directly see the original requirement and the final requirement coverage element compared with each other.

Which views are offered in addition to the individual material view can be specified in this Customizing transaction. You can also change there the basic settings in your personal settings made here again on a user-specific basis:

  • You can specify that the tab pages for the material groupings are to be displayed automatically. The system then automatically determines for the material entered whether it belongs to an APO supersession chain, a product group, several plants, or a customer-specific-defined material material grouping and automatically shows the corresponding tab pages. In the process, however, only those groupings that you have already selected in Customizing are displayed. Without membership of a grouping, only the individual material view without tab pages is displayed.
  • You can specify that the tab pages are always to be displayed. Here, too, you must previously have selected the groupings in Customizing. Even if the material is not part of a grouping with this setting, at least the Individual List tab page is displayed in the stock/requirements list.
  • You can specify that irrespective of the Customizing settings the groupings are never to be displayed. In this case, you see only the usual individual material view (without tab pages).

With the Business Add-In MD_CREATE_GROUPING, you can also create customer-specific-defined material groupings of your own. No Customizing setting is necessary for the display of the customer's own groupings, but the setting Never must not have been made in the stock/requirements list.
