Sales and Distribution - Transfer of Requirements

Sales and Distribution - Transfer of
Requirements
The MRP department is informed about the quantities and deadlines
by which incoming orders 
should be delivered. The system checks the availability of the goods 
based on the requested 
delivery date of the customer and creates MRP records which contain all
necessary information 
for passing on to planning. It ensures that the goods are available in time
for the delivery. 
Materials planning transfers the reported requirements and creates orders or
purchase 
requisitions from them etc.

For controlling transfer of requirements, you have to carry out the
following steps:

1. Each requirement type has to be allocated to one requirement class only.
2. The transfer of requirements must be switched on at requirements 
class level,the sales    documents at schedule line level.
3. You must define a check group. It is possible to have this check group
proposedfor the    initial creation of a material master record.
4. Note that a plant must exist for transfer of requirements to be 
carried out at document    item level.

OVZG      
- Requirement class 

It specifies the following points:

- whether an availability check and a transfer of requirements is 
carried out for a 
  transaction (for sales documents, fine tuning using the schedule line
category is possible),
- whether the requirements are relevant for MRP,
- the allocation indicator from the sales view which controls the settlement 
of customer 
  requirements with requirements 
- whether an item is to be settled to an auxiliary account assignment,
- the settlement profile,
- the results analysis key.
