Documentation

Definition

The overlapping indicator along with the cycle time in the material master record is used to split the planned orders into several partial quantities whereby the in-house production time overlaps by the cycle time.

You can determine whether,

  • the planned orders are allowed to overlap in the future
  • the planned orders are allowed to overlap in the past
  • no overlapping is allowed

Use

You can define the overlapping for each lot-sizing procedure. Here, you must maintain the following additional parameters in the material master record:

  • You must maintain the cycle time (MRP data screen) for all lot-sizing procedures. The cycle time defines the number of days that the planned orders are to overlap each other.
  • For the fixed lot size, you must enter the partial quantity to be used for splitting in the field Rounding value.
  • For all other lot-sizing procedures, you enter the partial quantity in the field entitled Maximum lot size.
