Documentation
Definition
This value defines how items in an alternative group are selected for withdrawal postings.
This strategy is ignored in material requirements planning (MRP).
Use
The withdrawal posting for the reservation in the production order can be selected as follows:
- According to usage probability (manual changes possible)
For all items that you want to reserve, enter:
- Strategy (value 1 or no entry)
- Priority (only influences how materials are sorted)
- Usage probability
- Withdrawal if 100% availability
For all items that you want to reserve, enter:
- Strategy (value 2)
- Priority
- If you do not enter a priority, the system checks the items in the sequence in which they are transferred to the availability check.
- Usage probability
Procedure
Enter the same strategy for all alternative items in an alternative item group.
Example
Withdrawal if 100% availability (strategy 2)
This strategy uses ATP logic to check availability in the defined ranking order.
Gross requirements: 100 pieces
M UP (%) RO RQ ATP qty Issue qty
A 20 1 20 30 0
B 30 2 30 150 100
C 50 3 50 180 0
Key
M Material
UP Usage probability
RO Ranking order
RQ Requirements quantity
The first material in the ranking order that is supplied 100% on the requirement date is reserved in the required quantity (material B).
If a partial withdrawal is carried out in a production order, when additional partial withdrawals take place, no further checks are carried out for this production order. Additional partial withdrawals result from the alternative item, from which the first withdrawal took place.
If when using strategy 2 none of the alternative items cover the requirements 100%, the availability check for all items will confirm the available. A reservation only occurs for the available quantity.
