Individual/coll. Incicator.

[avinash_sharma]

Hi All,

I am aware of what Individual/coll. indicator is but only in theoretical terms. So in order to understand it, I created some dummy data and I am stuck with the results. So need your expertise on this :

So there are 3 materials A, B and X. X is the Component in A's and B's BOM's.

Is this necessary that all the three materials should be having Planning strategy as '20' in MRP3 view? Or having '20' only for  A and B will do the job.

I have created two sales orders for the Materials with same requirement date. In SOs I have put 'KE' as requirement type.

After running MRP the planned orders were created for A and B but when I looked into MD04 for X, I found that the Dep. Req. was maintained separately for the two Planned Orders.(As I thought the Dep Req. will be triggered collectively--->Ignoring the fact that there are two different Planned Orders).

So yes I am a bit hazy on the results that I should expect after all this. So please guide me on what exactly should I expect after putting Ind/ Coll Indicator in MTO scenario, And where I can expect to see the changes.

And one more question, for which material should I set the indicator, for A and B or only for X.

Please let me know if any further info is required.

Regards,

Avinash

Hi

    Maintain strategy 20 for A&B. Regarding X,you can leave it empty .

    In your case,you expect X to be collctively displayed,maintain collectve indicator in X.then u will see what you expect...

    btw,how many planned order against X generated is not the way to distinguish indivial/collective .if you see a planned order linking with a sales order ,then it is individual...I　mean separate line in for different planned order in MD04..

Hi Monst,

Thank  you for the reply, but what exactly is meant by that statement that you wrote :

And please confirm what should I expect in scenario that I mentioned in the first post ?

Hi,my first hight light rectangle is generated by collective.consume stock.not seperated by order.

     second/third rectangle are generated by indivial .not consume stock.seperated by sales order.

Hi Monst,

Let me show what I have done:

Below is the planned order generated for material A.

Planned order for material B:

Dependent requirement generated for X:

Could you please be able to tell me now what should I expect for X in MD04. Because even if I change the Collective indicator to Individual indicator, I am not able to find out any changes in MD04 for X.

Please let me know if I am missing any thing.
