Staggering the Requirements Split 

Purpose

This process allows you to split planned independent requirements into smaller, staggered periods. The system can perform this split in intervals, for all or selected materials.

You can record a history and a results list for the report. You can also run the report in simulation mode causing no changes to the database.

Prerequisites

You must maintain a period split for the selection criteria in Customizing for Demand Management. (Choose Planned Independent Requirements ® Automatic Split ® Define period split for automatic split.)

Process Flow

  1. On the Demand Management screen, select Environment ® Staggered split.

    2. The system displays the initial screen of the report.

  2. Enter the selection criteria.
  3. Enter the period split.
  4. Determine whether:

    5. – A history is to be recorded.

    – A results list is to be created.

    – The report is to be run in simulation mode with no database changes.

  5. Start the report.

Result

The results list displays all selected materials that have warnings and error messages.
