Calculating the Provision Date for Components

Implementation Options

The system also calculates the provision date of the material components during lead time scheduling.

Process Flow

The materials and required quantities are determined using the BOM explosion. The provision times are calculated as follows:

When the basic dates are calculated, the dependent requirements date of the components is calculated from the order start date of the source planned order. If a lead-time offset has been maintained, the dependent requirements date is rescheduled accordingly (see Calculating the Dependent Requirements Date).

In lead time scheduling, the dependent requirements date is based on the operation dates in the routing. The system uses the component assignment in the routing to determine the components that must be available at the operation start date.

Note

In Customizing for the scheduling levels, you can also set that the dependent requirement dates can be scheduled to the order start date instead of the operation start date in lead time scheduling.
