MPS run, planned orders were created for all levels ?

Question

Hello PP members
I ran a small scenario
material    MRP Type     Low Level    SG           M/T Type
A      M0         000             40              FERT
B               PD              001              40             HALB
c               PD              002               10             ROH
Maintained PIRs(MD61) for material A, and ran MD41( Single Item Multi level Planning)
As material A is an MPS item, I was expecting that it should create planned orders only for material A, but in this MPS run it created planned orders for material B & C. (Looked into MD04, where I see planned orders were created
for all the levels)
As per the MPS run, it will plan only for one level of BOM (in this scenario for material A)
Any suggestions, why planned orders were created for material B & C
please clarify

Answer 1

Just check
System must have created a dependent requirement planned order and not the planned order for requirement you put in demand management for B and C
i.e. if you enter a demand in MD61 for B and C, run the transaction, system will not consider this requirement during MPS run. MPS run will consider the requirement if the requirement for the child is comming from parement where parent is MPS item.
Hence you need to run MRPm for B amd C if teh requirement(not dependdent requirement from A) is to be considered.
I hope you are clear
