Blocking Requirements

Use

You can block the generation of requirements until the processing of order BOMs is completed. In this way, you can prevent the system from generating requirements during the planning run, for assemblies that are still to be post-processed in the design.

Features

You can stop the generation of requirements on different levels:

in the schedule line category in the sales order item

A requirement generation is stopped by some schedule line categories, for example, in the standard system, by the schedule line category CN. At the time when you want to generate requirements, set the schedule line category CP for example. This schedule line category allows the generation of requirements in the standard system.

In Customizing SD you define, for specific combinations of item categories and MRP types:

Which schedule line category the system recommends as standard.
Which schedule line categories can be set manually.

In Customizing SD choose Sales Sales document Schedule lines Assign s chedule line categories .

for configurable BOMs, you can stop it in the configuration status in variant configuration

In the BOM status
