Performing Material Quantity Calculations 

Use

You use this procedure to manually start material quantity calculation in the process order. Depending on your requirements, you define the scope of the calculation as follows:

You transfer the formula results to the order.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Choose Materials in the process order.

    2. The material list appears.

  2. Choose .

    3. The system uses the current formulas and data to calculate the component, operation, phase, and scrap quantities and displays the results on the maintenance screen of material quantity calculation.

    If required, you can change the formulas from this screen (see Defining Material Quantity Calculation).

  3. If you also want to recalculate the product or order quantity, choose Calculate product qty.

The system calculates the product quantity and subsequently updates all component, operation, phase, and scrap quantities for which formulas have been maintained.
  1. If you want to transfer the formula results to the order, choose and save the process order.

The system also copies the calculated material quantities to the order if the Fixed quantity indicator has been set for the component of the material list.
