Lot-for-Lot Remaining Order Quantity 

Use

You can determine in the lot-sizing procedure that the last lot of the planning run is always planned exactly. You thus prevent that the procurement quantities exceed the requirement quantities and, for example, cause remaining stock levels of discontinued materials with high scrap costs.

Integration

This function can be used for all lot-sizing procedures. It is valid for the whole planning horizon.

You cannot use the function in reorder point planning and time-phased planning.

Prerequisites

You have assigned a lot-sizing procedure, for which lot-for-lot remaining order quantity has been defined, to the material in the material master.

You set the Last lot exact indicator in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Check lot-sizing procedure, in order to define lot-for-lot remaining order quantity.

Features

The last lot is planned exactly in the net or gross planning segment of the MRP list and the current stock/requirements list. The available quantity at the end of these segments is thus equal to zero.
