Carrying Out Single-Item, Single-Level Planning 

Use

Single-item planning only involves the planning of one individual material. Single-level means that the BOM is not exploded and that, therefore, only the level directly below the material is planned.

Procedure

  1. Starting from the MRP node, choose Planning ® Single-item planning, single-level.

    2. This takes you to the initial screen for single-level single-item planning.

  2. Enter the material number, for which you want to carry out single-item planning, and also the plant or planning area, in which you want to plan.
  3. Specify the control parameters you desire (see Control Parameters for the Planning Run).

    4. In single-item planning the creation indicators in the initial screen overwrite the creation indicators in the MRP group (see Creation Indicators in the Initial Screen and the MRP Group).

    If you want to save the parameters set in the initial screen, for the following planning, choose Settings ® Save. The parameters saved become the default for each following planning.

  4. Choose .

    5. The system displays the long texts explaining the settings selected.

Single-level single-item planning is carried out for the material selected.
