Sample Scenario: Strategy 56
Process Flow
Stage 1: Demand Management
Enter the planned independent requirements on the configurable material level.
Maintain the combination value keys usage probabilities individually per date and quantity (referred to as configuration supporting point) as described in Creating PIRs for Characteristics Planning.
If you use a multi-level configuration (also referred to as a nested KMAT), you can only enter the usage probabilities at the top-level (in other words, the $ROOT material). You cannot enter usage probabilities for the lower levels.
For the configurable material, the planning results in a stock/requirements list displays the following information:

Stage 2: Procurement before Sales
The dependent requirements are created in the MRP run. The actual required component quantity is calculated as the product of usage probability and the original component quantity from the BOM. See
Flagging a Comb. Value Key as Relevant for Planning.For a component, which was planned with a usage probability of 40%, the following stock/requirements list results:

The procurement proposals lead to the stock for the components.
Stage 3: Sales Order
The entry of a sales order with a specific configuration results in an allocation of the planned independent requirement for the configurable material; this is similar to
strategy 50.

The requirements type display for strategy 56 is KEKS, as seen in the Procurement tab strip of the Sales order.
The allocation at the level of the configurable material leads to a reduction of all dependent requirements of the configurable material. Also the components that are not sold with the actual order will be reduced with the next MRP run.
Consumption at Configurable Material Level
Stage 4: Procurement after Sales
Production of the configurable material takes place. This stage is similar to
strategy 50.Stage 5: Goods Issue for Delivery and Reduction of Planning
The goods issue of the configurable material takes place. This stage is similar to strategy 50.
