Sample Scenario: Strategy 11 

Process Flow

This example is based on a production plan in which 100 pieces are planned for each requirements date ¾ <reqdat1>, <reqdat2>, and <reqdat1>.

Stage 1: Demand Management

  1. In this scenario, planned independent requirements are created as shown in the following table for the production plan. For information on how to create planned independent requirements, see Creating Planned Independent Requirements with Reference or Creating Planned Independent Requirements Without a Reference.

    2. Period indicator

    10,000.00

    T (= day)

    <reqdat3>

    100

    10,000.00

     

    The system finds requirements type BSF because the strategy group has been set to 11. See the Table of Planning Strategy Assignments.

  2. The requirements are passed on to MRP. The stock/requirements list (Logistics ® Production ® MRP ® Evaluations ® Stock/reqmts list) displays the following information:

Date

MRP element data

Received/
required quantity

Available quantity

<today>

Entry of the independent requirements is very similar to that in strategy 10 (net requirements planning). The only difference is that the requirements have requirements type BSF because the strategy group has been set to 11. See the table of planning strategy assignments.

Note there is now a special segment in the stock/requirements list; this is used for planning purposes only.

Stage 2: Procurement Before Sales

  1. Procurement requisitions are created in the MRP run (Logistics ® Production ® MRP ® Total planning). The stock/requirements list displays the following information:

    2. Date

    MRP element

    MRP element data

    These procurement requisitions are the starting point for production or external procurement. Various possibilities exist for handling the procurement process in the R/3 System. One option would be to convert the planned order into a production order, then release the production order and a goods receipt of the yield quantity. It is also possible, however, to use returns or other goods movements for make-to-stock production.

  2. After goods receipt of 90 pieces of the order (you can work with all kinds of orders, such as production orders, run schedule headers in repetitive manufacturing, and purchase orders), the stock/requirements list displays the following information:

  3. The Demand Management screen displays the following information:

Period indicator

Reqmts date

Planned qty

Withdrawal qty

T (= day)

<reqdat1>

10

90

T (= day)

<reqdat2>

The planned independent requirement is reduced during processing of the goods receipt. Old quantities can still be accessed via Goto ® Schedule line history, or by using the total requirements list (Evaluations ® Display total requirements) in Demand Management. The quantities received are displayed in the Withdrawal qty field.

The system always reduces the oldest planned independent requirements unless the consumption fields (Consumption mode, Fwd consumption per., Bwd consumption per.) are maintained in the material master or in the MRP group.

The Demand quantity as seen in the planned independent requirements, is reduced when the goods receipt is posted for the production order. To view the original demand quantity in Demand Management (choose Logistics ® Production ® Master Planning ® Demand Management ® Planned Ind. Reqmnts ® Display) choose Goto ® schedule line history, or choose Environment ® Display total reqmnts. In this view the total demand is the sum of the goods movement quantity plus the Total quantity.

 

Stage 3: Sales Order

  1. You create a sales order by choosing Logistics ® Sales and distribution ® Sales ® Order ® Create).

    2. Note the following:

    · It is possible to confirm any quantity up to the stock quantity (100 pieces in this example). Choose Goto ® Item ® Schedule lines ® Quantities/dates.

    · The system finds the requirement type KSL (under the Procurement tab title) because the strategy group has been set to 11.
    The     Table of Planning Strategy Assignments shows this mechanism.

    · The system finds the schedule line category CP and the item category TAN because the item category group was set to NORM.

  2. After the sales order has been entered, the stock/requirements list displays the following information:

    3. Date

    MRP element

  3. In strategy 11, the order does not create a requirement; it is only displayed. It is possible to hide the display of the orders as described in the Other Areas section of Net Requirements Planning (10). In the above table, you can see that the order does not reduce the Available quantity in the right-hand column, which remains at 90 pieces. When you perform the availability check (in the sales order or in the stock/requirements list by choosing List ® Calculate ATP quantity), however, no stock is available.

Stage 4: Procurement After Sales

This does not apply to this strategy.

Stage 5: Goods Issue for Delivery

After delivery (choose Logistics ® Sales and distribution ® Shipping ® Delivery ® Create) and goods issue, the stock/requirements list shows only the remaining planned independent requirements and their associated planned orders.
