planning without final assembly??

Hi PP Gurus,

I have maintained a Sales Relevant BOM for a Finished Good. How do i set up the material master of the Component and Header Material (MRP TABS) such that when I create a Sales Order for the Finished Good, it automatically creates Purchase Requisitions for the Components WITHOUT running MRP. Then when I receive the purchased Components, I only need to issue them to the Sales Order.

My current setup now is that the components explode in the Sales Order but I need to run MRP to generate PRs for the components and issue them to the Production Order of the Header Material.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me.

Thanks,

Heinrick
