Definition

Specifies the number of materials for which forecast requirements exist.

Use

Materials with forecast requirements are not displayed in the apps for Material Requirements Planning in the following cases:

  • If the reduction of the forecast requirements is calculated using consumption values. (However, note that reduction by average value is allowed.)
  • If the distribution of forecast requirements is performed using a splitting indicator.

Dependencies

With transaction md_mrp_force_classic, you can check and maintain the exclusion of such materials from the MRP apps.
