The Component Detail Screen 

Use

The component detail screen provides you with more information about the component assignment.

Features

The detail screen is divided into tab pages:

General data

Here you enter general data for the component assignment. In particular you can maintain details of how the requirements date is aligned to the activity dates. For more details, see Requirements Date Determination and Aligning Activity Duration with Material Lead Time.

If reservations, purchase requisitions, or follow-on documents have been created for the component, the number is displayed on this screen.

Information about availability and the quantity withdrawn from stock is displayed. You can also determine whether the component is relevant to costing.

You can also enter details for delivery, such as the recipient and the unloading point here.

Proc(urement) Param(eters)

On this tab page details are displayed concerning the procurement, stock management, and account assignment. Some fields from the material master regarding procurement, such as the procurement type and the material type, are also displayed.

Here you can set the Backflush and Bulk material indicators. If applicable, you can also change the stock managing WBS element.

Purch(asing) data

Here you maintain the data that is required for procuring a component externally, for instance vendor , info record and account details. The screen only appears if the component is to be procured externally, that is, if a purchase requisition is created for it.

Here you can maintain the long text for the component.

Size

In the case of variable-size components, you enter the sizes of the component here.

If applicable, you can change the procuremet type (for instance reservation for a network or for a WBS element) by choosing Procurement. You can also maintain unit costings by choosing Unit costing.
