Features
The following component-specific functions are available:
Organizational priority of a force element
The organizational priority specifies what priority a force element has when material requisitions are determined.
You can manually assign the organizational priority to a force element (with MRP area) on the
logistics data
tab page of the
Structures Workbench
. The system determines the organizational priority in the documents on the basis of the receiving storage location (and thus the receiving force element).
To this end, you define the desired values for the organizational priority in Customizing by choosing
Materials Management
→
General Settings for Materials Management
→
Requirement Prioritization
→
Define Organizational Priorities
.
Manual Customizing entries for prioritizing storage locations (IMG activity
Assign Plants and Storage Locations
) are not required. If an organizational priority has already been assigned to the force element, the system carries out the plant/storage location assignment automatically when a force element is activated.
