Use

This function allows you to calculate the requirements for a header article of a structured article from the requirements for the components. If time-phased planning is used for the header article, the system uses the listing conditions for the assigned components to determine whether they have to be procured.

In other cases, the system can forecast demand for the components. The requirement for the header article is calculated on the basis of the requirements for the components.

Integration

The following general function is used for calculating the header article requirement: Requirements Planning: Calculation of the Quantity Required of Header Article from the Component Quantities

Prerequisites

· The function can only be used for time-phased planning. Enter a RP type for time-phased planning in the logistics data of the header article and of the components. The header article and the constituent components must have the same RP type.

· The header article and the constituent components must have the same period indicator.

· For technical reasons, the header article must have consumption values. These are not, however, used in calculating requirements. We therefore recommend entering a reference article for the header data.

· The same number of forecast periods should be maintained for the header article and the components.
