Documentation

Definition

This field has two uses:

  1. Specifies whether and how the system checks availability and generates requirements for materials planning.
  2. In Flexible Planning, defines - together with the checking rule - the different MRP elements that make up this key figure. The sum of these elements gives the key figure.

Use 1: Availability Checking and Materials Planning

Use

The value you enter for use 1 (see above) is a default value which defines:

  • Which MRP elements (for example, purchase orders, reservations) the system includes in the availability check
  • Whether the system checks availability only until the end of the replenishment lead time or whether it checks availability over the entire period for which MRP elements exist
  • Whether the system generates individual requirements or summarized requirements if you enter sales orders or deliveries for the material

Use 2: Flexible Planning

Dependencies

If you use this field to define the MRP elements of a key figure for Flexible Planning, you must also select Document KF in the Customizing parameters of the information structure.
