1. 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 Reference.

Period indicator	Reqmts date	Planned qty	Value
T (= day)	<reqdat1>	100	10,000.00
T (= day)	<reqdat2>	100	10,000.00
T (= day)	<reqdat3>	100	10,000.00

 

The system will find requirements type VSF because the strategy group has been set to 40. See the Table of Planning Strategy Assignments.

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

Date	MRP element	MRP element data	Received/ required quantity	Available quantity
<today>	Stock			0
<reqdat1>	IndReq	VSF	100 -	100 -
<reqdat2>	IndReq	VSF	100 -	100 -
<reqdat3>	IndReq	VSF	100 -	300 -

1. A procurement requisition is created in the MRP run (Logistics ® Production ® MRP ® Total planning). The stock/requirements list displays the following information:

Date	MRP element	MRP element data	Received/ required quantity	Available quantity
<today>	Stock			0
<reqdat1>	PlOrd.	1234/Stck	100 +	100+
<reqdat1>	IndReq	VSF	100 -	0
<reqdat2>	PlOrd.	1235/Stck	100 +	100+
<reqdat2>	IndReq	VSF	100 -	0
<reqdat3>	PlOrd.	1236/Stck	100 +	100
<reqdat3>	IndReq	VSF	100 -	0

 

This procurement requisition is 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, release of 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 receipt of the order and a second MRP run, the stock/requirements list displays the following information:

Date	MRP element	MRP element data	Received/ required quantity	Available quantity
<today>	Stock			100
<reqdat1>	IndReq	VSF	100 -	0
<reqdat2>	PlOrd.	1235/Stck	100 +	100
<reqdat2>	IndReq	VSF	100 -	0
<reqdat3>	PlOrd.	1236/Stck	100 +	100
<reqdat3>	IndReq	VSF	100 -	0

1. A sales order is created (Logistics ® Sales and distribution ® Sales ® Order ® Create).

Here you need to note the following:

· It is possible to confirm any quantity up to the stock quantity according to the ATP checking rule (100 pieces in this example) under Edit ® Check availability.

· The system will find the requirement type KSV (under the Procurement tab title) because the strategy group has been set to 40.
See the Table of Planning Strategy Assignments.

· 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 displays the following information:

Date	MRP element	MRP element data	Received/ required quantity	Available quantity
<today>	Stock			100
<today>	Order	326/010/01	90 -	10
<reqdat1>	IndReq	VSF	10 -	0
<reqdat2>	PlOrd.	1245/Stck	100 +	100
<reqdat2>	IndReq	VSF	100 -	0
<reqdat3>	PlOrd.	1236/Stck	100 +	100
<reqdat3>	IndReq	VSF	100 -	0

Date	MRP element	MRP element data	Received/ required quantity	Available quantity
<today>	Stock			10
< reqdat1>	IndReq	VSF	10 -	0
<reqdat2>	PlOrd.	1245/Stck	100 +	100+
<reqdat2>	IndReq	VSF	100 -	0
<reqdat3>	PlOrd.	1236/Stck	100 +	100
<reqdat3>	IndReq	LSF	100 -	0

Reduction of the independent requirements is not visible now, because the planned independent requirement was allocated during sales order processing. Technically speaking, however, the planned independent requirement is reduced by the delivery. See Statistics in Demand Management under Other Areas in Planning with Final Assembly (40).
