Demand management - Requirement type

Dear SAP Experts
Could someone kindly explain to me  What  "Requirement type" ( eg.LSF , BSF) controls, and what settings do i have to make to use any each of them.
How does each affect planning calculations?
Thanking you all in advernce.
Richard.

Hi,
Hope you would have gone through the SAP notes on Requirement Type which is reproduced as under
Strategy for Determining the Requirements Type
1. First, an attempt is made to find a requirements type using the strategy group in the material master.
2. If the strategy group has not been maintained, the system will determine it using the MRP group.
3. If the MRP group has not been defined, the system uses the material type instead of the MRP group when accessing the corresponding control tables.
4. If no requirements type is found here, the system assumes a special rule and attempts to find a requirements type with the aid of the item category and the MRP type.
5. If this is not possible, a last attempt is made to find a requirements type with the item category only.
6. If the last attempt fails, the system declares the transaction as not relevant for the availability check or transfer of requirements.
Now why we require it.
becuase same requirement types can be assigned to any number of item cateogies for different MRP types. Since item cateogories cannot be assigned to requirement class directly, requirement type is a link between them.
Though requirement type has no feature associated with it, it helps in assigning the correct requirement class in a sales document. Any number of requirement types can be assigned to requirement class. So MRP type in material master plays a vital role in fetching the rquirement class. Hence, you can enter manually the Requirement type in sale order but not Requirement Class.

  • Splitting of requirement in Demand Management as per Factory Calendar

    Dear Gurus,
    Monthly requirements are loaded as 3 months rolling sales plan at the Sales Plant.
    Am carrying out automatic splitting while transfering this to demand management. The demand for the month is split into 4 equal parts (Weekly). However, the requirement date is always the first day of the week (Monday).
    Am working in a region where the first working day of the week is Saturday.
    Your inputs please.
    Thanks
    Tarang Machhar
    P.S. - Have tried to assign an appropriate Factory calendar. But it does not help.

    Hi Tarang,
    one option would be to use period based lot size in the material master of the said materials for the said regions.
    you need to maintain a planning calender(MD25) that shifts the requirement dates to the previous saturday.
    please let me know if u need more details.

  • Demand management split the requirements

    Hi
    I wonder if anybody knows how to make a daily split for the requirements in demand management.
    I have made it but the split is made only for the 5 workdays (monday to friday) but i need to be done in weekdays (monday to sunday).
    I've got the restriction of not changing the calendar of the plant because it will affect the others modules of SAP.
    Wait for your answer
    Please
    The points will be waiting
    Taka care

    Hi,
    Even if you split the reqirement in demand managmant system will not plan the planned order on holiday,
    To split the PIR qty
    1. goto schedule lines and select the line
    2. goto edit mode choose split per online
    3. popup will appear
    4. enter the period indicator and start and end date of the requirements period
    5. enter the qty to be split and enter the period indicator for split enter
    6. PIR qty will be split daily
    7. daily qty =Total reqmts qty / no of days
    Can you try order splitting (FS) and in the takht time enter the number of in house production days (1). In the rounding value assign the quantity for the daily lot size.

  • How requirements from SOP are transferred to Demand Management

    How requirements from SOP are transferred to Demand Management? what is transaction code for it ?
    Madan S. Rode

    Hi,
    In mc82 view, after checking the capacity situation(By choosing view, capacity situation, show) you can check the load for that particular resource. Once the load is 100 %. You can save it.
    Use mc78, copy the inactive version no to active no. (a00).
    Then in mc82 view, go to Extras,
    transfer to demand management,
    Choose the strategy as LSF/VSF... according to your scenario & then click transfer.

  • Two requirement type determined for PIR of a material

    Hi Experts,
    I have a scenario wherein for one of the material with stragety 50, when the PIR is getting transferred from one info structure to Demand Management (Version A0) i get two line items for the same demand in MD63. I.e one line item with requriement type VSE and another line item with requirement type VSFB. The transfer is through a custom program.
    What could be the reason for this? Why two requirement types are determined for the material? What is the determining factor?
    Thanks in advance for the response
    Best Regards,
    Ganesh

    You mean that the two line items in MD63 belongs to the different version ; active and inactive one? 
    Several things you can check.
    1  First check the MC7F whether configuration of your info structure is link to DM automatically (in Sync with Demand Management section).  If you create the transfer again, it may have duplicate records in demand management.
    2. Do you use the mass processing to transfer the data?  If so, please check the activity.  If you set the transfer twice, then it is duplicate.
    3.  Maybe someone maintained them manually and enter the requirement plan.  Normally the transfer from SIS will have blank requirement plan. Maybe you can check whether the requirement plan is maintained for any of the lines (in the item tab).  
    If you can do the screen shot for us, it will be very helpful to analyze.

  • Demand management planning strategy

    Hi there,
    I am trying to set up demand management for simple make to stock. I am using standard requirements type LSF which is linked to requirements class 100.(OMP1) The requirements class has a planning indicator (PLNKZ) set to "1" (net requirements planning) in OMPO. This is what I want as we want the warehouse stock to be taken into account when procurement proposals are generated. The planning strategy assigned to the material master has the "1" setting (net requirements planning). However when I run MRP after entering planned independent requirements for LSF (MD61), the purchasing requisitions proposed are just for the independent requirements and ignore warehouse stock. There is a line in the Stock / Requirements list that says "Gross Requirements Planning" Does anyone know where it is picking up "Gross Requirements Planning" instead of Net Requirements Planning (i.e. check what is in stock before creating procurement proposals)
    Any assistance is appreciated.
    thanks
    D

    Hi Suhas,
    I don't want mixed MRP as such but when I cannot get any procurement proposals (requisitions) when the setting is blank. It may be elsewhere that the procurement proposal is - I am still checking.
    However, when I choose "2" for mixed MRP, it does generate requsitions (but gives me the other problem where warehouse stock is not taken into account)
    The requirements class 100 has an entry "1" for planning indicator and "1" for requirements category. All other columns are blank at the moment. I am in the process of experimenting with these next.
    thanks for your help so far.

  • Requirement type

    Hi
    I want to create production order with reference to sales order.
    If iam using requirement type KSL/KSV error is coming
    "Sales order has no co object"
    IF iam using requirement type KE it is working..
    I tried strategies: 20 & 40
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Srihari.

    Hi,
    The req. types KSL/KSV are for make to stock scenarios.
    Here the independent requirements are passed thorugh t.code md61. For strategies 10,40 you can use this.
    For 20 you do not use md61. Instead we create a sale order using KE.
    This is shown in md04 screen. When mrp is run, pl. order is created for the sale order requirement.
    For details reg.the req.types, check in spro->Production->Demand management

  • Demand Management Through SOP

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a scenario where I receive an 8 week rolling forecast from marketing. This is transferred to production. 2 weeks before actual production the plan is firmed.
    I was hoping to implement this using SOP transfer to demand management. I was also planning to use an MRP type with a planning time fence. But am not exactly sure of the best practice to transfer Rough cut plann data to demand management. Do I directly transfer the Rough cut plan to a "requirements plan" version?
    If not what would be the best possible solution to run SOP?
    Also Please suggest as to any specific configuration settings to be maintained for SOP.
    Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Aji Kurian Mani

    Hi
    It depends on at which aggregation level you are receiving the Forecast.
    if you are receiving at Plant -Material level. I would advice you to directly upload in to MD61.
    SOP is required, if you need to do any forecasting in SAP.
    or if you need to publish , analsyse the Historical and Forecasting Values at diffrent Org Levels(Plant, cutomer, Material,Sales org....etc)
    using the planning tables you can maintain the Figures at one Level, which gets aggregated automatically.

  • SOP and transfer to Demand management for MTO material

    Hi all,
    I have the following situation:
    I have a material, a finished goods product with planning strategy 20 Make to order defined in the material master. I enter a sales forecast for the material in SOP in SAPECC (transaction MC87), works fine.
    But when I try to release the forecast to Demand Management (MC74), I get the following error message: "No requirements type exists for material 110100 1 in plant 2". I can see that planning strategy 20 MTO does not have any requirement type defined.
    But what is the best practice then to forecast on MTO materials (with strategy 20 MTO)?
    What I want to do is to bring down the requirements of the MTO material to Long term planning to get a BOM explosion for the components. I realize that I should not start a production plan for the MTO material, but I want to plan the requirements for components several months ahead.
    What is the best practice? Should I use a different production strategy? Am I missing config or any fundamental thinking here?
    I need to have the material as a MTO strategy, but I want to plan the components.
    Please, give me input on this if you have any solution.
    Regards,
    Lars

    Hi Lars,
    Here's what you need to do:
    1. Instead of pure 20, customize a strategy group that has in it 20 and 10, and attach this strategy group to your material.
    2. In MC74 specify requirements type LSF, demand management version, and make sure to uncheck the "active" box (otherwise you will get requirements in the operative system, and not only in LTP).
    3. Do the transfer, and include the version in a LTP scenario.
    Regards,
    Mario

  • How does the MRP Group determine the Requirement Type

    Hello,
    I find in help that the MRP Group or the Strategy Group in the MRP view of the material master record determines what Requirement Type is used.
    Could you please tell me in which table / transaction can I find the assignment of Requirement Type to MRP Group? I mean it in case when the Strategy Group has not been maintained.
    I will appreciate your help very much.
    Best regards,
    Robert

    Dear,
    System will pick the requirement type from strategy group maintained in MRP 3 view of material master, If the strategy group is not maintained, then only system will check the MRP group In MRP1 view and check the strategy group maintained in OPPR
    Based on strategy Group- you can find the requirement type In IMG>production> Production Planning >Demand management> Planned Independent requirement -->Planning strategy -->Define strategy , From here you can find the requirement type and requirement class
    and then go to OVZG
    if the requirement class have a setting for costing - order costing and costing details, while saving the sale order system will update the cost of goods sold in condition EK02

    Regards
    Amit Naik

    Hi,
    In MC74 you have to select the option of radio button for Production plan for material or PG member, You have to select requirement type and version with date and then save the it will be copied to Deman Management which you can see in MD62.
    Or you can try to transfer from MC87 create the plan then go to Extra--Transfer to demand management.Deselect invisable tranfer maintain period with active versio.

  • Demand management - Priority of Demand

    Dear friends,
    I have got one requirement as below
    User wish to enter Productwise demand & also the priority , based on available stk of components & SF goods , systems should tell us Which products & How much quantity can be produced?
    I can use one demand version for entering demand for this requirement but How a provision can be made for entering priority? One text field is available for item level but for entering a text you need to do 3/4 steps , is tedious job.
    Please suggest.

    >Dear colleague,
    Unfortunately there aren´t more available fields inisde MD61/2 to update the required additional information.
    maybe you cna use the Req. Plan number. , It is a at iniital screen.
    Myabe you can create a Req.Plan number for each priority.
    This information is also displayed in MD04,
    THis or maybe you can create a new requirement type for each priority. Aa copy to the one you have, and assign this new requirement type  to each item regarding the priority,
    Unfortunately the priority is a concept not used in Demand Management.
    thanks and regards,

  • SOP - Flexible Planning u2013 Demand Management.

    Hello Gurus
    Can any one guide me  SOP - Long term plannng  / Flexible Planning  - Transfer to demand managment Process
    Thanks

    Edited by: JJ_SAP_S on Jul 28, 2008 12:24 AM

    Hi,
    Transferring SOP  to Demand Management :
    Use:
    You can pass on data planned in Flexible Planning or Standard SOP to Demand Management.
    Demand Management determines the requirement dates and requirement quantities for important assemblies and specifies the strategies for planning and producing/procuring finished products. The result of Demand Management is the demand program. The demand program differentiates planned independent requirements and customer independent requirements. It gives the information needed in MPS and MRP for planning at SKU level. The placing of sales orders eventually consumes planned requirements and triggers updating to the Sales Information System. This actual data can then be used as input for future sales planning. For more information, see PP Demand Management.
    Prerequisites:
    The system distributes the data to the appropriate plants in Demand Management on the basis of the quotas you set in Customizing (in Define proportional distribution across plants). You can also make these settings in the Flexible Planning or Standard SOP menu by choosing Settings ® Plant distribution. Plant distribution works as follows:
    If a plant or plants can be found for the material in the planning hierarchy, data is transferred to Demand Management for these plants.
    If no plant can be found in the planning hierarchy, the system checks to see which plants have been maintained for the material in the material master record. It then checks to see whether distribution quotas have been maintained for the material. If quotas have been maintained, the transfer to Demand Management is based on these quotas.
    If no distribution quotas are found for the material, the system checks to see whether you have set generic distribution quotas; that is, distribution quotas that apply to all materials. If so, the transfer to Demand Management is based on these quotas. If generic quotas exist for some but not all plants maintained in the material master record, the system assumes that the distribution quotas of plants without generic quotas are 0.
    If no distribution quotas are found at allu2014neither material-specific nor generic onesu2014, the system splits the data equally among all the plants in the material master record.
    See also:
    Plant Distribution Quotas
    Features
    Independent requirements are created in Demand Management for all materials whose data has been transferred. These independent requirements are created in the base unit of measure of the material. The base unit of measure of the material is not necessarily the same as the base unit of measure of the information structure or the unit in which you planned the material. See also Switching Units in the Planning Table.
    You can transfer SOP data to Demand Management in the following ways:
    Transferring Online, Synchronously and Automatically:
    You set the following information structure parameters in Customizing for Sales & Operations Planning (in Set parameters of info structures and key figures).
    Field name of the key figure whose values are to be transferred
    Planning version from which the data is to be transferred
    Demand version to which the data is to be transferred
    The system creates or overwrites independent requirements in Demand Management every time you save this planning version of the information structure in Flexible Planning.
    Transferring Online, Asynchronously and Manually
    You choose between the following options:
    Transfer of the planning data of all members of a single-level product group from standard SOP (a single-level product group is a product group whose members are materials)
    Transfer of the planning data created for one material from standard SOP
    Transfer of key figure values from an information structure
    You make the following general settings:
    The material or product group whose data you want to be transferred
    The plant of this material or product group
    The planning version of the information structure in which the data is stored
    The dates for which you want the data to be transferred
    Whether you want to check what the data looks like as independent requirements before you transfer it
    The requirements type
    If you do not make an entry, the system sets the requirements type via the MRP group which is maintained in the material master record.
    The version of the demand program to which you want the data to be transferred
    Whether this version of the demand program is active and therefore relevant to MRP
    Depending on the option you chose in step 1, you set one of the following strategies.
    Transferring Planning Data from a Single-Level Product Group:
    You transfer the sales plans of the materials direct.
    You transfer the sales plans of the materials as proportions of their owner product group (using the proportional factors defined in the product group master record).
    You transfer the production plans of the materials direct.
    You transfer the production plans of the materials as proportions of their owner product group (using the proportional factors defined in the product group master record).
    Transferring Planning Data of One Material from Standard SOP:
    You transfer the sales plan of the material direct
    You transfer the sales plan of the material as a proportion of the product group of which it is a member (using the proportional factor defined in the product group master record)
    You transfer the production plan of the material direct
    You transfer the production plan of the material as a proportion of the product group of which it is a member (using the proportional factor defined in the product group master record)
    Transferring Key Figure Data of One Material from Flexible Planning
    The information structure from which you want the key figure data to be transferred
    The key figure whose values you want to be transferred
    This key figure must be a quantity key figure.

  • Demand management -reg

    Hi,
    I am facing one problem in demand management.
    I have created PIR in MD61 with VSF requirement type (eg.500 nos)  and run MRP for that material. System has created Planned order for 400 nos. Because there was manual reservation for 100 nos for which planned was there already. But I want the system to create planned for 500 nos by ignoring manual reseravtion.So in demand management I changed the consumption indicator "1"( consider only customer requirements). Eventhough system consumes the reservation and creates planned for 400 nos only.
    Can you please tell me what could be the issue.
    Regards
    Karthikeyan.

    I think u need to use indicator -
       (no allocation)     ... please try..
    Because I ve read in a thread that...
    If PIR is  100 no
    Sales order of qty 10 no
    Material reservation created manually for 5 no
    Dependent requirements from released production order for 50 no.
    If consumption indicators 1(consume only with customer requirements) – then you will see in MD04 PIR = 100-10 = 90
    if 2(only consume reservation, dependent requirements) , then PIR = 100-5-55 = 40
    3(consume customer reqts, reservation, dependent requirements = 100-10-5-50 = 30

    Raju,
    I think you have mistyped many things wrongly in your post or I have not understood what you are asking. Anway based on my understanding you are asking when transferring SOP plan to DM using MC74, why for strategy 20 no option available.
    1. If the material is of MTS type then Demand Mangement with PIR is applicable and system would allow you to transfer the SOP Plan to DM for the requirement type assigned to the planning strategy. In your case for strategy 40, it should give option for VSF.
    2. If material is MTO scenario, then strategy like 20, would not have any requirement type assigned to it for PIR creation, so in MC74 for a material which is assigned with strategy 20, it wont give any option to select a requirement type. If planning strategy is 20, then sales orders are the demand and not PIR.
    Hope this clarifies,
    Regards,
    Prasobh
