Hi Shakthi,

It is also possible to set the priority for Requirement Type determination like

0 Material master strategy, then item category and MRP type

1 Item Category and MRP Type

2 as 1, with check for allowed requirement type.

The transaction for this is same as "Requirement Type Determination :

Sales and Distribution --> Basic Functions --> Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements --> Transfer of Requirements --> Determination Of Requirement Types Using Transaction

Look for "Source".

In this transaction, Please, check "Requirements".

Please, make sure of the following 2 things :

1. If you do not set an indicator for maintaining the requirements class: Transfer of requirements is not carried out, irrespective of the specification you make at schedule line level for the transaction.

So it is necessary to mantain the setting first at the Requirements Class. As mentioned in my earlier posts, the requirement class for the material can be found out from Planning Strategy / MRP3 view --> Main strategy (defined in the strategy group) --> Requirement Class for Customer Requirements.

The IMG path for "Define Strategy" is Production --> Production Planning --> Demand Management --> Planned Independent Requirements --> Planning Strategy --> Define Strategy.

2. Once the "Requirements" indicator is set in Requirement Class, the requirements indicator at the Schedule Line decides whether or not you require transfer of requirments for the relevant transaction.

I hope this should solve your problem.

Dear Sandeep Mandhana,

Could you tell me the IMG path for Requirement type determination by using MRP type and Item Category

Hi Shakthi,

The path is as follows:

Sales and Distribution --> Basic Functions --> Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements --> Transfer of Requirements --> Determination Of Requirement Types Using Transaction

Dear Sivakumar,

The planning strategy is 82

Hi Shakthi,

The requirement type is detemined using 2 of the following methods which i mentioned in my earlier post.

1. Strategy definition - This can be found by Planning strategy in MRP3 view and then the Main strategy in the Strategy group in SPRO.

2. The requirements type determination also is done with "Item Category" and "MRP type" combination

It is also possible to set the priority for Requirement Type determination like

0 Material master strategy, then item category and MRP type

1 Item Category and MRP Type

2 as 1, with check for allowed requirement type.

Using this can you maintain / change the requirement type.

Sandeep

Hi Shaktivel,

Strategy 82 is assembly processing.

It creates production orders directly once the sales order is saved. (because the KMFA req type is assigned to this strategy)

You do not have to run MD50 to create planned orders and then convert to production order for this strategy.

You can check if a production order is already created. If you dont want this to happen change your strategy group in MRP3 view to an MTO strategy group like 20 and then try

MD50.

Even after changing the strategy if it does not work, you can check the areas mentioned by Sandeep.

Ashok

The requirement type in the Sales order can be found in "Procurement" tab.

Hi,

Please, take a look at the Planning strategy group maintained in Material Master / MRP3 view.

Find the Main strategy for this Strategy group in SPRO.

Check the definition of strategy in SPRO. "Requirement transfer" indicator should be ON.

If the "requirements" is not checked here, you can take a look at whether the "requirement" indicator has been set at the schedule line level.

The requirements type determination is done with "Item Category" and "MRP type" combination.

Hi,

Check in the Sales Order, procurement Tab: Requiremnt Type: KE is there or not?

(Check whether th planning stategy is MTO for eg., 20.. in Material Master)

If it is not there then you can not execute MD50 with reference to this SO.

Then you need to use MD02 to have planned Orders.

Check and revert for further discussion..

Siva
