Use

There are numerous possibilities for displaying information for a material or for Customizing from the MRP list or stock/requirements list quickly and easily, for calling up other materials or branching into other transactions. You can thus set up your work station around the MRP list or the stock/requirement list so that all of your activities can be executed from there and you do not have to leave the transaction.

Prerequisites

You have called up the MRP list or the stock/requirements list for a material.

Procedure

Function

Starting the function

What you should know

Access to lists for the same material in different plants/MRP areas.

F4 possible entries help on the Plant or MRP area field

The system only proposes the plants or MRP areas in which the material is actually available. If the material is not available in any other plant, the fields are not ready for input.

The material in the new plant or MRP area is directly added to the material tree.

Access to lists for other materials

Double-click on a material in the material tree or overwrite the material number in the list header and confirm with Enter

If necessary, the new material is added directly to the material tree.

Display Customizing settings

Double-click on the fields

Double-click the Lot size entry field, for example, in the header details for the material, to branch directly to Customizing for lot sizes. The system displays the appropriate information, but you are not able to make any changes. You must have the corresponding authorization to display tables.

Further entry fields that branch to Customizing are, for example, MRP type, Coverage profile, MRP controller, Special procurement, and Strategy group.

The Display horizon and selection rule fields also branch to Customizing. You activate these by double-clicking on the field label itself after you have set a display horizon or selection rule.

Fields that you can double-click are highlighted.

Display data from other applications (material master and so on)

Double-click on the fields

Double-click a material number to branch to the material master without exiting the transaction. Further fields from which you can branch to applications are, for example, Vendor (vendor master) and Customer (customer master).

Fields that you can double-click are highlighted.

Use fixed branches to other transactions.
