Hi Sudhakar,

Please take a look if this article that explains how the Requirement class and rquirement types are linked to the planning strategies and how these strategies are seen in APO:

Hi Sudhakar,

The requirement class that gets determine in ECC is nothing but the Check mode in APO. However, the business event is something to do with the type of transaction that you are executing in ECC.

For example, if you're creating a sales order -> Requirement class determined in R/3 + Business Event "A" will give you the direction to pick the Check insturciton in APO.

Similarly, if you're creating a delivery document -> Requirement class determined in R/3 + Business Event "B" will give you the direction to pick the Check instruction in APO.

You can look for various threads within SCN on "How requirement class is determined".

Hope this helps.

Hi babu

Thanks for your response!

I know that how it will pick the check instruction. Correct if am wrong

Req.class<> check mode

Checking rule <> Business event

But what iam trying to ask is how req.class and checking rule are linked in ECC. will they linked any where in ECC?

Is Checking rule realated to SaleOrder type If yes, then guide how to find

Requirement class is not a direct configuration. It gets derived from various factors such as MRP type, material type, item category etc, please search for "determination of requirement class" in help.sap.com You will find good information.

And coming to the question of checking rule, it is pretty kuch predecided within SAP that it will always be A for sales order.. B for delivery etc., You can identify this in SPRO config in ECC. You can also create custom checking rules to handle certain business scenarios.

Hope this helps.
