Sample Scenario: Strategy 10 

Process Flow

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

Stage 1: Demand Management

  1. In this scenario, planned independent requirements are created as follows 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.

    The system finds requirements type LSF because the strategy group has been set to 10. 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:

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:

    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 is 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 for the order, the stock/requirements list displays the following information:

Stage 3: Sales Order

  1. A sales order is created for 90 units (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) under Edit ® Check availability.

    · The system will find the requirement type KSL (under the Procurement type tab title) because the strategy group has been set to 10 and it is not possible to select another requirement type. 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. In net requirements planning according to strategy 10, the order does not create a requirement; the sales order is displayed, but does not generate planned orders. In the above table, you can see that the order does not reduce the Available quantity in the right-hand column which remains at 100 pieces. When you perform the availability check (in the sales order or in the stock/requirements list, choose List ® Calculate ATP quantity), only 10 pieces are available.
  4. The planned quantity is still 100 pieces. The source of the requirement is the independent requirement alone. The planned independent requirement is unchanged, and no allocation is carried out.

Stage 4: Procurement After Sales

This stage does not apply to this strategy.

Stage 5: Goods Issue for Delivery and Reduction of Planned Independent Requirements

After goods issue for the delivery (Logistics ® Sales and distribution ® Shipping ® Delivery ® Create), the stock/requirements list displays the following information:

Date

The planned independent requirement is reduced during processing of the goods issue. Old quantities can still be retrieved by using either Goto ® Schedule line history in Demand Management, or by using the total requirements list (Evaluations ® Display total requirements from the Demand Management menu). The quantities issued are displayed in the Withdrawal quantity 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.
