dependent requirement v/s order reservations

[Former Member]

Dear Guru's,

Could you please explain me the difference between dependent rquirement & order reservations? As we check MD04 for any material we could see both for same material & both requirements are coming from upper or header material.

Reservations are done against production order & dependent requirement is generated due to the requirement at header material. Please explain in detail.

Hi,

Dependent req. are generated by o planned order (for its components), whereas order reservation are ceated by production orders (for its components).

One sets the other off, as planned orders are converted into production orders.

You see both in MD04, since you may have both planned and production order for the upper level material at the same time.

Hi,

Dependent Requirement is generated out of Planned order for any Header Material. Reservations are generated out of Production/ Process Order for any header Material. Dependent Requirement/ Reservations are for the Components of the Header Material as per BOM Structure. Dependent requirements are converted to Reservations when Planned Order is converted to Production/ Process Order.
