Settings 

Use

You have numerous possibilities to control the selection and format of data in the MRP list and the stock/requirements list so that your own work with the lists is supported to an optimum.

You always want to work with a particular preselected filter, or you always want to display the header details for a material and the material tree.

Features

In the Settings dialog box, you are provided with the following settings on various tab pages:

You define the activation of the period totals display and select a particular period value, which means Days, Weeks or Months. If you have made corresponding settings in Customizing, you can also select Posting periods, Individual split or Planning calendar. The period value that you select determines which tab page is preferred in the period totals display and is therefore displayed in the foreground.

If you want to preset the period values planning calendar or individual split, certain standard settings in Customizing determine which planning calendar or which individual split is activated. You can overwrite these standard settings by selecting different values.

You define that calculations in the lists are not based on the base unit of measure, but are based on the order unit or the unit of issue, for example. The setting refers to the first of the two possible units in which the receipts or requirements, and the quantity available, can be displayed.

All materials for which this alternative unit of measure is maintained are then displayed with the selected unit. The system also uses this unit for calculations in the detail dialog boxes for the individual MRP elements.

You define by which validation rule the availability check (or the missing parts check in inventory management) is carried out (see also Availability Check According to ATP Logic, Availability Check for Components in the Planned Order).

If you select a checking rule here, it is copied to the initial screen for the availability overview. If you then choose the menu path Environment ® ATP quantities and branch to the availability overview, the system skips the initial screen.
