Sample Scenario: Strategy 70

Process Flow

This example is based on a production plan in which 100 pieces are planned for <reqdat1>, <reqdat2>, and <reqdat3>.

Stage 1: Demand Management

In this scenario, planned independent requirements are created as follows for the production plan. For information on how to create planned independent requirements, see Creating Planned Independent Requirements with Reference or Creating Planned Independent Requirements without a Reference .

Period indicator	Reqmts date	Planned qty	Value
T (= day)	<reqdat1>	100	10,000.00
T (= day)	<reqdat2>	100	10,000.00
T (= day)	<reqdat3>	100	10,000.00

The system will find requirements type VSFB because the strategy group has been set to 70 . See the table of planning strategy assignments .

The requirements are passed on to MRP. The stock/requirements list ( Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Production MRP Evaluations Stock/reqmts list End of the navigation path ) displays the following information:

Date	MRP element	MRP element data	Received/ required quantity	Available quantity
<today>	Stock			0
<reqdat1>	IndReq	VSFB	100 -	100 -
<reqdat2>	IndReq	VSFB	100 -	200 -
<reqdat3>	IndReq	VSFB	100 -	300 -

Stage 2: Procurement Before Use in Production

A procurement requisition is created in the MRP run ( Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Production MRP Total planning End of the navigation path ). The stock/requirements list displays the following information:

Date	MRP element	MRP element data	Received/ required quantity	Available quantity
<today>	Stock			0
<reqdat1>	PlOrd.	123/STCK	100	100
<reqdat1>	IndReq	VSFB	100 -	0
<reqdat2>	PlOrd.	124/STCK	100	100
<reqdat2>	IndReq	VSFB	100 -	0
<reqdat3>	PlOrd.	125/STCK	100	100
<reqdat3>	IndReq	VSFB	100 -	0

This procurement requisition is the starting point for production or external procurement. You have a variety of options for handling the procurement process in the SAP system. One possibility would be to convert the planned order into a production order, release of the production order and a goods receipt of the yield quantity. It is also possible, however, to use returns or other goods movements for make-to-stock production.

After goods receipt for the order, the stock/requirements list displays the following information:

Date	MRP element	MRP element data	Received/ required quantity	Available quantity
<today>	Stock			200
<reqdat1>	IndReq	VSFB	100 -	100
<reqdat2>	IndReq	VSFB	100 -	0
<reqdat3>	PlOrd.	125/SDeb	100	100
<reqdat3>	IndReq	VSFB	100 -	0

Stage 3: Production Order and Allocation

A production order that uses the planned component is created ( Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Production Production control Order Create End of the navigation path ).

An availability check is performed in the order ( Start of the navigation path Component Next navigation step Availability Check availability End of the navigation path ).

Note Note

In this example, it is assumed that production is 50 pieces of the material and the material has an in-house production time of zero.

A popup appears containing the following information:

End of the note.

Requirements date	<today >
Requirements quantity	50
Availability check (checking group)	02
ATP quantity	200
Confirmation date	<today >
Confirmation quantity	50

This availability check is always performed according to ATP logic. See Availability Check .

The production order quantity, which is not visible in the production order, is allocated to the component quantity. You can, however, control the allocation in the stock/requirements list or in the total requirements list. The total requirements list displays the following information:

Requirements type	Date	Allocated quantity	Total quantity
VSFB			300
	<reqdat1>		100
RESE	<reqdat1>	50
	<today>	50
	<reqdat2>		100
	<reqdat3>		100

After creation of the production order, the stock/requirements list displays the following information:

Date	MRP element	MRP element data	Received/ required quantity	Available quantity
<today>	Stock			200
<today>	OrdRes	SZ-10	50 -	150
<reqdat1>	IndReq	VSFB	50 -	100
<reqdat2>	IndReq	VSFB	100 -	0
<reqdat3>	PlOrd.	125/STCK	100	100
<reqdat3>	IndReq	VSFB	100 -	0

Any parent material that consists of this component is automatically allocated to this plan. In practice, there are several header materials (like SZ-10 in this example) that allocate this material.

Stage 4: Procurement After Production

This does not apply to this strategy.

Stage 5: Goods Issue for Production Order

After goods issue for the production order ( Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Materials management Inventory management Goods movement Goods issue End of the navigation path ), the stock/requirements list displays the following information:

Date	MRP element	MRP element data	Received/ required quantity	Available quantity
<today>	Stock			150
< reqdat1>	IndReq	VSFB	50 -	100
<reqdat2>	IndReq	VSFB	100 -	0
<reqdat3>	PlOrd.	125/STCK	100	100
<reqdat3>	IndReq	VSFB	100 -	0
