Function documentationDisplaying and Changing of Results of Kit-to-Stock Planning

 

You can display the planning results of kit-to-stock planning in the DRP Matrix.

The system generates the following documents as a result of kit-to-stock planning:

  • Planned orders

    If you selected internal kitting as the type of kitting, the system generates planned orders based on the required quantity of kits.

  • Production orders

    After DRP has generated a planned order, DRP transfers the order to SAP ERP. In SAP ERP, you generate a production order from the planned order. SAP ERP returns this production order to DRP for display.

    Note Note

    To generate a production order from a planned order, proceed as follows:

    1. On the SAP Easy Access screen in SAP ERP, choose Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Materials Management Next navigation step Material Requirements Planning (MRP) Next navigation step MRP Next navigation step Evaluations Next navigation step Stock/Reqmts List End of the navigation path (alternatively, call transaction MD04).

    2. Specify the product and location for which DRP has generated a planned order and choose Continue.

    3. In the Addl Function column and the row of your planned order, choose Element Details. A dialog box appears.

    4. Choose Prod. Ord.

    5. Enter the header data for the production order and save your entry.

    End of the note.

  • Subcontracting purchase requisitions

    If you selected external kitting as the type of repair, DRP generates subcontracting purchase requisitions based on the required quantity of kits.

  • Subcontract orders

    After DRP has generated a subcontracting purchase requisition, DRP transfers the requisition to SAP ERP. SAP ERP generates a subcontract order from the subcontracting purchase requisition and returns the subcontract order to be displayed in DRP.

Display Planning Results

You can display the results of kit-to-stock planning in the DRP Matrix.

  • The system displays kit demand and stock in the same way as for other location products. For more information about this, see DRP Matrix.

  • The system displays receipts of kits in the following key figures of the DRP Matrix:

    • Products Rcpt (Kit-to-Stk/Rep, Not Froz)

      In this key figure, DRP displays the quantity of kits contained in planned orders and subcontract orders that can still be changed.

    • Products Rcpt (Kit-to-Stk/Repair, Froz)

      In this key figure, DRP displays the following quantities of kits:

      • Kits contained in planned orders and purchase requisitions that can no longer be changed. This includes, for example, subcontracting purchase requisitions that you created manually in SAP ERP.

        Note Note

        DRP generates subcontracting purchase requisitions with one item only. However, you can also create subcontracting purchase requisitions with multiple items manually in SAP ERP. DRP takes these subcontracting purchase requisitions into account but does not change them.

        End of the note.

      • Production orders and subcontract orders

      The receipts displayed by the system in these DRP Matrix key figures are also contained in the DRP Matrix key figure Total Gross Receipt (Confirmed).
