Display receipt elements in total quantity or required quantity

Edit ® Complete receipt quantities or Quantity needed

The display differentiates

  • whether the receipt quantities for the components are only checked for the amount required to cover the dependent requirements for the production of the order or
  • whether the system checks the total quantity of dependent requirements that was created for a BOM level

Example:

An order is scheduled for 50 pieces. As the components are frequently used, a dependent requirement from another material for 50 pieces is added. Therefore, 100 pieces in total must be available for this BOM level.

Check for required quantity: a warehouse stock of 50 pieces would be sufficient. The system would indicate that there are no problems on this particular BOM level.

Check for complete receipts quantity: the total quantity would have to be in stock or scheduled, so that the system could indicate that there are no problems on this particular BOM level.
