Defining a View for a Where-Used List
You can influence a where-used list by entering the following quantities: required quantity and resulting quantity. When you enter one of these quantities, the system calculates the other one.
The required quantity is interpreted as a component quantity (in the base unit of measure) for determining where-used lists.

Required QuantityWhen you enter a required quantity, the system calculates the resulting quantity. This tells you how many assemblies you can make with the required quantity of the material you entered.
The following formula is used to calculate the resulting quantity:
Resulting quantity = |
Base quantity * Required quantity -------------------------------------------- Component quantity |
The material Paint is produced from the components PP-PAINT01 and PP-WATER. The material Paint has a multiple BOM with three alternatives for different lot sizes. The required quantity of the component PP-WATER varies in accordance with the lot size of the alternative. For example, for each alternative you obtain different resulting quantities of the component Paint when you use 30 liters of PP-WATER.
The quantity of an assembly material that is produced with a specific required quantity is the resulting quantity. This replaces the base quantity in where-used lists.
When you enter a resulting quantity, the system calculates the required quantity.
The required quantity tells you how much of the material is required to produce the resulting quantity of the assembly that you entered. When you change the resulting quantity, the required quantity changes as well.
The system calculates the required quantity (= new base quantity) as follows:
Required quantity = |
Component quantity * Resulting quantity |
The following table shows how many liters of the component PP-WATER are required to produce 100 liters of paint for the three alternatives of BOM PP-FARB01.
