Documentation
Definition
Indicates whether an external requirement (sales order or manual reservation) is included in the net requirements calculation for reorder point planning.
If yes, you can decide whether it is to be included:
- in the complete planning horizon, or
- only within the replenishment lead time
Example
The reorder point for a material is 30 pieces and the current warehouse stock is 35. A customer requirement exists for 10 pieces for a requirements date in three weeks. The replenishment lead time for the material is one week.
If indicator 1 External requirements in total horizon is set, the system takes the customer requirements into account in the next planning run. This means, the system creates an order proposal because the system considers the warehouse stock as having fallen below the reorder point (35 pcs - 10 pcs = 25 pcs) even if the requirements date is not until after the replenishment.
If indicator 2 External requirements within the replenishment lead time is set, the system does not include the customer requirement with a requirements date outside the replenishment lead time. In this example, the system would not include the customer requirement in the planning run for two weeks.
