In this step, you define:

  • the periodicity in which forecast requirements are taken into consideration and are split on the time axis in MRP
  • for how many periods the forecast requirements are taken into consideration in the net requirements calculation

The splitting indicator is defined depending on the period indicator.
The period indicator defines the periodicity used to record the historical values for the forecast and the periodicity to be used to output the forecast values.

However, this periodicity may be too large for the planning run. Therefore, you can use the splitting indicator to,

  • split monthly values into daily and weekly forecast requirements, and to
  • split weekly forecast values into daily forecast forecast values.

In this step, you can also limit the number of forecast requirements for which the net requirements calculation is to be carried out.

To split the forecast requirements for a material, the splitting indicator defined here is assigned in the material master record.

Note

The splitting of the forecast requirements is only relevant for capying forecast values to MRP. It has no influence on the forecast execution.

Example

Month                1   2   3   4   5   6
Forecast values     100 100 100 100 100 100

The planning run should provide the following forecast values:

in the 1st month     daily

2nd month     weekly

3rd - 6th month     is also taken into account

Here, you must set the following defaults in the system:

Number of days = 1
Number of weeks = 1
Periods = 4

The following forecast values result for material requirements planning:

Month 1: forecast requirements are created for every workday

Month 2: on the first workday of the week, a requirement of 25 is created

Month 3 to 6: on the first workday of the month, a requirement of 100 is created

Planned orders are not created for the entire planning horizon but only for 6 months.

Actions

Define the following in the field entitled, "No. of days":

  • how many periods are to be calculated to the day in MRP

Define the following in the field entitled, "No. of weeks":

  • how many periods are to be calculated 'to the week' in MRP

Define the following in the field entitled, "No. of periods":

  • for how many periods - in addition to the periods to be split - is the system to carry out the net requirements calculation in the planning run.
