With transaction /AFS/MRP_S430 you can use the data from the AFS information structure S430 as follows:

• To calculate the distribution at grid value and category levels
• To calculate the planning requirements

The distribution calculation is a simplified option when compared to the SIS calculation. You can make different settings for each target material for the data transfer. The entry for the distribution of requirements generally takes place at material level (J4A1). The grid value settings or category settings of the target material are then transferred.

You can transfer the target materials to the planning in different target versions as well as at grid value level or material level. The checks of the selection periods of the source material and target material are important here. The selection periods must be identical.

After you have called the transaction /AFS/MRP_S430, you must create a structure for source materials and target materials.

You can group the source and target materials in a two-level hierarchy. The first level always contains the source materials. At the time of the data transfer, the source materials must have data in the AFS information structure S430.
