You create the properties of the MPO to MPO assignment as an additional part on the Additional Parts tab page of the higher-level material planning object .

Integration

If you assign a force element or material container an MPO that is assigned to additional parts, you can decide whether to also assign these additional parts to the higher-level object.

By choosing Organizational Flexibility Assignments Define Settings for Assignments in Customizing for Defense Forces & Public Security , you can set the ASSIGN_OP_PARTS switch to specify whether you want to assign dependent additional parts and select one of the corresponding two user dialogs to be available:
- Automatic dialog
  
  When you assign a material planning object with additional parts to a force element or material container, the system automatically displays a dialog box in which the user can decide whether to assign dependent additional parts.
- Assign Additional Parts pushbutton
  
  This pushbutton is provided on the tab pages for assigning MPOs to force elements or material containers so that you can assign dependent additional parts for MPOs already assigned.
In Customizing for Defense Forces & Public Security , you can define whether mandatory parts, optional parts, and parts without any special identification are to be preselected for the assignment and whether the selection can be changed during detailed planning, by choosing Organizational Flexibility Assignments Control Assignment of Additional Parts .
