Executing a BOM Transfer 

Use

Preliminary requirements are created by assigning material components to the advance procurement activity in the generator network during BOM transfer. Preliminary requirements serve as coverage for real requirements that are generated at a later stage. This is useful for material components with a long replenishment lead time.

Planned independent requirements are generated (instead of reservations) for materials that are procured using MRP (item category L).

You can find further information in the SAP library under Logistics ® Project System ® Material ® Bill of Material Transfer.
