Requirement (Demand) Data

The fields on the Requirements (Demand) tab page in location product master data maintenance are only relevant if you are working with Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (SAP APO).

Requirement Strategy
Fields/area	Use to define...
Default strategy	How quantities forecast in APO Demand Planning are generated and sales orders are offset against the sales forecast (demand/requirement forecast).
Dependent requirements
Always collective requirement	That a collective dependent requirement is to be generated
Possible individual customer requirement	That an individual dependent requirement is generated if possible
Consumption
Consumption mode	Whether you want to use backward and/or forward consumption
Consumption period	Number of calendar days for forward or backward consumption
Assembly planning	Whether the system performs forecast consumption for the product's dependent demand or transportation requirements when the dependent demand or transportation requirements change
Pegging
Fields/area	Use to define...
Dynamic pegging
Pegging strategy	How product requirements are covered
Maximum earliness of a receipt	The maximum period of time that a requirement element may lie before a receipt element in order for the system to establish a pegging relationship between them by setting a pegging edge.
Maximum lateness of a receipt	The maximum period of time that a receipt element may lie before a requirement element in order for the system to just about set a pegging edge between the two elements, thus establishing a pegging relationship.
Date/time alerts
Alert threshold for earliness	As of when an alert is issued if a receipt element lies before a requirement element in terms of time and there is a pegging relationship between the two. Note You also use the alert thresholds to specify that premature or delayed receipts are taken into account to cover requirements or in the range-of-coverage (days' supply) calculation. End of the note. For more information, refer to the PP/DS documentation on the calculation of the range of coverage (days' supply).
Alert threshold for lateness	As of when an alert is issued if a receipt element lies after a requirement element in terms of time and there is a pegging relationship between the two.
Individual product tolerance
Product tolerance minus or plus	The maximum allowed under- or overcoverage of the individual product tolerance in the requirement element as a percentage.
Overall delivery tolerance
Underdelivery tolerance	The percentage tolerance value that specifies by how much the quantity actually delivered may fall short of an order quantity
Overdelivery tolerance	The percentage tolerance value that specifies by how must the quantity actually delivered may exceed an order quantity
Use quantity
Use total order quantity (use total receipts)	That the total order quantity must be consumed
Consume quantity from total stock (use total stock)	That the total stock must be consumed
Available stocks
Fields/area	Use to define...
Blocked stock, stock in transfer, stock in quality inspection, etc.	Which stocks are regarded as available in Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling and in Capable-To-Match (CTM). This means that the system takes these stocks into account in the net requirement calculation and in dynamic pegging.
