Updating Component Requirements

Use

If you change the production quantity of an assembly in the planning table, the system updates the requirement and available quantities of the components produced in-house. When you make changes, the system immediately displays the updated requirements in the planning table. This means you can see whether sufficient components are available and take any necessary actions. For example, you may also have to increase the production quantities of the components in the planning table.

Prerequisites

The component is an assembly and is processed in the planning table. Therefore, you have to create a valid production version in the material master record of the component.

In the initial screen of the planning table, you have to select the assembly and the components produced in-house (lower-level assemblies).

You do this by entering the MRP controller (if the MRP controller is responsible for the assembly and for the components) or the product group (in this case, you must create a product group for the assembly and the components) to access the planning table.
