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 display both the ranges of coverage and the stock values:

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.
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:
