Requirement type

[Former Member]

Hi everyone..

Can you please tell me the significance of Requirement type and what role it plays in the availability check?

Please tell me something else than-

Reqmt type is assigned to reqmt class.

Reqmt type defines the attributes or characteristics of Reqmt class.

Reqmt type = item cat + MRP type.

Thx. - Prashant

dear prashant,

requirement is to be carries out for the respective transaction. It is a prerequisite for TOR. We can deactivate TOR at schedule line category level as long as it is not already activated in the requirement class.

Ex: We need not to activate requirement type for transaction type ex: IN &QT as this function is most irrelevant for these transaction types.

Requirement type is going to be determined for sales document by following a search strategy. .

First System checks strategy group in MRP3 view if it trend requirement type then system takes from it, otherwise.

It will go to MRP group in MRP1 view, otherwise

It will check to Material type, otherwise

It will go to item Category + MRP type, otherwise

It will go to Item category only, otherwise

Finally system determines the transaction b not relevant for TOR & Availability check.

Choose Item category TAN+MRP type PD=Requirement type =0

we can define our own requirement with the help of ABAPer for TOR

Ex: - a) 102- prevent reservation in the event of credit block

b) 102-purchase requisitions.

System doesn’t create purchase requisitions for sales order line items if it has a credit limit

hope it clarifies

rewards if it helps

hi,

requirment type:

what type of requirments are needed to manufacture a product are identified thru requirment type.two kinds of requirment type exists

1.sales /customer requirmnets

2.planned indivual requirments.

requirments are identified thru different ways as mentioned by others,

once they are identified based on the settings for AVC & TOR the requirmrnts are transfered to production planning .

so requirment type plays a major role in identifiying requirments and transfering to to PP.if system could not determine the reqt type thru the abiove mentioned ways the sytem declares the product not relevant for AVC &TOR.

regards

sriram.

Dear Prashant

As you know how Requirement Type is determined and how Requirement Class is determined.

Requirement Class is key link between SD and PP.

In OVZG you can see the link points mainly Assembly, it decides which kind of Production order will be generated for requirement of SO

If you want to learn AC and TOR in detail you can go to

Availability Check and Requirements in Sales and Distribution-

For every transaction system determines requirement type that specifies what

kinds of requirements are available like Sales Order Requirement, Delivery

Requirement or Customer Specific Requirement.

· Requirement type is going to be determined automatically by following a search

strategy

1. System checks “Strategy Group” in MRP 3 view of the material master.

2. Then it will go to MRP Group in MRP 1 view of the material master.

3. Then it will try to determine using Material type.

4. Then it will go to Item Category + MRP type (SD Assignment).

5. Then it will go to Item category to determine and finally

6. System will assume that the transaction is not relevant for TOR and

Availability Check.

· Requirement type points towards Requirement class that specifies whether the

system has to carry out TOR and AC functions. And also it specifies

configuration process, costing, assembly order processing, special stock details

etc.

· The configuration settings for TOR and AC from Requirement class globally

copied into schedule line category as system takes same factors to determine

requirement type as well as schedule line category

· At schedule line category level fine tuning off Transfer of Requirement and

Availability Check functions can be carried out for particular transaction i.e. for

particular transaction if the user does not want to carry out TOR and AC functions

that can be deactivated.

Hi Prashanth,

Requirement type, as name suggests tells that what type of requirement is it, whether sales order requirement, delivery requirements or individual customer requirements.

The role it plays in AC is that on basis of the combination of RC and RT, it define sthe Checking rule which controls how AC should be carried out.

Hope it'll clarify you.

Reward if so

Regards
