Documentation

Definition

A selection rule consists of particular time information, MRP elements and stocks that are grouped together in a rule. The selection rule controls the selection of this data in the stock/requirements list and the planning table in Repetitive Manufacturing:

• MRP elements are only displayed for the period that has been defined in the selection horizon.
• Only those MRP elements selected in the selection rule are displayed.
• Of the MRP elements displayed, only those flagged in the selection rule as relevant for availability are used to calculate the quantity available and the ranges of coverage.
• Only the stocks defined in the selection rule are used to calculate the unrestricted-use stock.

This forms a new business view on the data in the lists.

You define selection rules in Customizing for MRP, or Customizing for Consumption-Based Planning, in the IMG activitiy Define Selection Rules.
