Material Master MRP4 Individual / Collective Requirement

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I would like to ask in case I want to use the Individual / Collective Requirement functionality in Material Master MRP4 view, is it a MUST to set the Strategy Group in MRP3 view to 20 : Make-To-Order Production? Because I find if I dun set this field, nothing happens after I execute MD01 for the MRP Run.

Another query is in case the Stock Requirement is on two different dates, can I still group them together into one Plan Order or one Purchase Requisition using the selection - 2. Collective Requirement selection?

Many Thanks.

Hi,

1. Normally Ind./Coll Requ. functionality is for the dependent materials and used for Make to order scenario. If you set 1 then it will take dependent material as a special stock and if you set it 2 then it will not. If you keep it blank then it will follow for Main material's logic.

2. For your second query, you can not use this indicator 2 for combining the Planned order or PR of different dates. For that, you need to use proper Lot size procedure.

Yes Individual / Collective indicator only works for MTO strategies.

You can but if the dates are different you have to use Periodic Lot Size.like PK.and all requirements within one period will be grouped together and they will be planned together.

HI

Indicator determining whether the following requirements are allowed for the dependent requirements of the material:

1.Individual requirements

2.Requirement quantities of the dependent material are stated individually.

3.Collective requirements

4.Requirement quantities of the dependent material are grouped together.

In case of MTO scenario it is mandatory to maintain as it will generate requirements individually with special stock indicator or without special stock indicator.
