Requirements Planning
Features
The main task of the MRP in AFS is to guarantee the material availability at SKU level. You have to make the requirements quantity available internally and for sales and distribution, in the requested characteristic values and on time. (AFS also creates procurement proposals at material level if they are outside the
SKU horizon.)In AFS you can adjust both the planning of independent requirements (such as planned independent requirements) and the planning of dependent requirements (such as sales orders) to the existing and planned stock at SKU level early on. You can also prepare the production according to the different characteristics in fashion. The requirements planning tries to optimize the following tasks:
The AFS requirements planning uniquely assigns requirements quantities to available stock using grid values and categories and / or creates procurement proposals, such as planned orders, at SKU level for non-existing stock. The requirements planning plans both finished products and components at SKU level. The categories are subject to the MRP of a dynamic assignment which is defined according to the coverage strategy. The allocation of the grid values is not dynamic.
