Material Requirements Planning 

Use

Up to the procurement phase of the project, only the primary requirement is planned for the cabin and the 50kW motor, in the form of the material components E-1300 and E-1500 assigned in the network.

BOMs and routings have been created for the cabin and the motor. A project-related MRP run generates planned orders for the procurement of both assemblies.

The assembly BOMs E-1300 and E-1500 are exploded in the planning run. Secondary requirements are generated for the components. When exploding the BOM, the MRP run takes account of the characteristic valuation from the sales order. The dimensions for the cabin walls and the selection of components, such as whether to use wood or metal for the walls, are based on the valuation in the sales order.

    Planned order

    The secondary requirements for cabin E-1300 and motor E-1500 are covered by reservations. Only components held in stock are assigned to the two planned orders. The reservations are not generated until the planned order is converted into a production order

    For this reason, the project report does not show any receipt elements (purchase requisitions or planned orders) for these components.

    To make the process simpler in this case, the planned orders are converted into production orders in the project report and the production orders are released for processing. Carry out the following processing steps for the planned order under E-1500 Motor Unit or E-1300 Cabin.

  4. Place the cursor on the planned order under E-1500 Motor Unit or E-1300 Cabin and choose Detail ® Plnd Ord. –> Prod. Ord.
