Plan Material Requirements for Sales Order Items

Use

This procedure describes how you plan material requirements for sales order items when the multi-level BOM for the sales order is finished. It also describes how you then handle order assemblies that have already been planned or have already been manufactured.

Prerequisites

You have created a sales order and a sales order item.

You have planned material requirements for detached order assemblies when necessary, as described in Plan Material Requirements for Detached Order Assemblies.

You have created a multi-level BOM for the sales order item and integrated any necessary detached order assemblies in the BOM structure.

Procedure

Starting from the MRP node, choose Planning ® Single-Item, Sales Order. Enter the number of the sales order and the sales order item as well as the MRP and process parameters. Click twice.

The system explodes the multi-level BOM for the sales order item from the lowest level to the highest level and plans all the materials. The system displays the runtime statistics for the planning run.

Starting from the MRP node, choose Evaluations ® Stock/Reqmts List. The material for the sales order item is the default material number. Click twice.

The system displays the stock/requirements list for the material. The MRP elements are displayed in a separate individual customer segment.

Choose Show overview tree.

The overview tree is displayed on the left of the screen. Only the material for the sales order item is displayed in the tree.

Click

to access the order tree for the first procurement element.

All the materials that the system planned when it exploded the BOM are displayed hierarchically in the order tree.

Double-click a material that was the header material for a detached order assembly. Check the stock/requirements situation for the material.

Result

The system has planned all levels of the multi-level BOM for the sales order item. At the same time, it has settled any planned independent requirements from assembly planning against the dependent requirements that were transferred from top to bottom in the planning run.
