Independent and Dependent requirement

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I have following questions on this topic:

1 - the planned independent requirement can ONLY be generated or take place from Material Forecast procedure or S&OP procedure, is this correct?

2 - the planned independent requirement CANNOT be generated from MPS nor MRP, is this correct?

3 - the planned dependent requirement can ONLY be generated using MPS (i.e. first level) or MRP (second level onwards), is this correct?

thanks

Hi Tuffy

1 - the planned independent requirement can ONLY be generated or take place from Material Forecast procedure or S&OP procedure, is this correct?

Planned independent requirements can be created

Demand management, SOP and forecast

2 - the planned independent requirement CANNOT be generated from MPS nor MRP, is this correct?

3 - the planned dependent requirement can ONLY be generated using MPS (i.e. first level) or MRP (second level onwards), is this correct?

No wrong

Based upon planned independent requirements MRP or MRS creates procurement praposals

Dependent requirements

dependent requirements will be created by system ( MRP )

When MRP runs system explodes BOM and creates dependent requirements
