Stock Requirements for days

[Former Member]

Dear Expert,

Please let me know if we can see the stock requirements for each day in MD04, our forecasting prediction shows the total requirement for each week but we need to know the requirement for each day or every two days in a week from the total requirement, it is to avoid stocking more inventory in our warehouse.

Please advise

Thanks.

Hi,

It is not an MD04 issue.

If you have demand plan (planned independent requirements) on a weekly resolution, then there's no way to see daily requirements in MD04, or in any other place.

If you need, business wise, to work with daily requirements, then you need to employ a split strategy at the demand planning level (from the week to the day).

Hi Mario,

Could you please explain the procedure to employ a split strategy at the demand planning level (from the week to the day). We input the total consumption values in of recent eight weeks and forecast for upcoming eight weeks. As you said so the requirements are shown for each week upto eight weeks in MD04. But they want to know the quantities to order for every two days in a week so that the inventory stock mayn't be necessary.

Thanks again...

I don't know where you run the forecast, but you can do it in SOP. Then when you transfer the weekly requirements from SOP to DM, you can activate a split function that will split the weekly requirement into a daily one.

Then you can display a daily summarized view in MD04, or even better have MRP planning with a 2 days lot size to create planning to cover the requirements.

For manual processing, go to MD62, choose in the table the material & period that you want to split, then go to menu ==> EDIT==>Period Splitting==>Days

Hi,

Develop a cutomise report with the help of ABAPer and shedule it for daily background job or depend upon your planning run.
