Documentation
Definition
Controls the display of additional tab pages for material groupings in the stock/requirements list. These can be shown as further views of the planning situation in addition to the classical view for the individual material.
If a material is part of a material grouping (jump in Cust. definition!), the planning data of the materials involved is consolidated to form an integrated planning situation.
The following can be classed as material groupings:
- APO supersession chains
- Product groups
- Cross-plant material view
- Customer-specific material grouping
Use
You can choose the following settings:
- Automatic - When the stock/requirements list is invoked, the system automatically displays those tab pages for which the material is part of a material grouping. If the material is not part of a grouping or exists in several plants, the tab pages are not displayed.
- Always- The system always displays the tab pages.
If with this setting the material is not part of a grouping and has not been created in several plants, only the Individual List tab page is displayed in the stock/requirements list.
- Never - The system displays no further tab pages other than the individual view, even if the material belongs to at least one active material grouping.
Dependencies
Only those tab pages for which the relevant indicators have been set in Customizing under Production -> Material Requirements Planning -> Evaluation -> Display Material Groupings are displayed.
To define and activate a customer-specific grouping, create a new implementation of the Business Add-In MD_CREATE_GROUPING.
