New Graphical
Display of the Planning Result
Use
The information in the MRP list and the
stock/requirements list always refers to a concrete time period: in the case
of the MRP list to the time of the last planning run and in the case of the
stock/requirements list to the time of the transaction call.
Even when using the collective access for the
stock/requirements list and the MRP list, you can display the change
in the stock situation for one or more materials over a period of
time from the material list graphically.
The graphical display has the following
advantages:
- You can recognize outliers (for high
procurement quantities or shortage situations) quicker.
- You can compare materials directly with each
other.
You can display both the ranges of coverage and
the stock values:
- Displaying the range of
coverage
The system displays
the actual range of coverage that is calculated in the MRP
list and the stock/requirements list in the daily period totals display. As
this calculation is only correct on the day, the system enters every value at
the end of the day at midnight. The display does not start with today's date
but with the date of the first stock change.
- Displaying the stock
value
The system displays
the value results from multiplying the sum of the available quantity and the
safety stock by the moving price or the standard
price from the material master. The available quantity is then the
quantity that is calculated in the MRP list and stock/requirements list in the
daily period totals display. As this calculation is only correct on the day,
the system enters every value at the end of the day at midnight.
The stock values are
given in the currency for the material that is selected first in the material
list. If the values for the other materials are in different currencies, these
are automatically converted into this currency.
In order to display
the stock values, you require a corresponding
authorization.
Effects on
System Administration
In the standard SAP System, the authorization
for displaying stock values is not activated. You must therefore activate the
authorization for all users, who should have access to the display of stock
values:
- Authorization object M_MTDI_ORG
(Organizational levels in MRP)
- Authorization field MDAKT (Activity category
in MRP)
- Fixed value W (MRP: Stock value display in the
collective display graphic).
