You can use this app to create and monitor planned independent requirements (PIRs) of materials in months or weeks. You can use this information to negotiate rates with your suppliers and, as a result, reduce costs. You use PIRs to procure or produce materials or components prior to receiving sales orders for materials. This information is particularly important, if the lead times demanded by your customers are shorter than those to which your suppliers can commit.

This app helps you to detect forecast issues early in the process so that you can produce or purchase sufficient quantities of material to cover future sales demands on time. With the app, you can process PIRs for materials that have a forecast period indicator defined in the material master.

Note

The app only shows results for the selected period indicator. The default view is set to monthly periods.

• Sort and filter the list of materials based on various filters such as reach, accuracy, plant, active version or period indicator.

• Determine the reach of your PIRs and find materials with an insufficient reach.

• See how accurate your PIRs are for each period.

• Create additional PIR versions for each material.

• Change a PIR version to active or inactive

• Mass maintain your PIRs

• Use Microsoft Excel files using the comma-separated value file format (.csv) to maintain PIRs.

With this app, you can monitor all the materials in a selected area of responsibility. This includes collective requirements materials, make-to-stock and make-to-order materials, and materials for direct procurement. You are provided with a list of all materials with a net requirement segment or individual planning segments, which considers the following planning segments:

• Net segment - planning for the whole MRP area
• Individual customer segment - using sales order stock
• Individual project segment - using project stock
• Segment for direct production planning - with direct creation of planned orders
• Segment for direct procurement planning - with direct creation of purchase requisitions

The system calculates the requirements for each segment separately. The materials of these planning segments might have coverage issues according to a specified shortage definition. The shortage definition you choose contains a set of rules that the system uses for calculating the material shortages. These rules define the scope of the shortage calculation, meaning the supply and demand elements to be considered and the conditions that have to be met to be a relevant shortage. You can use the default filters Time till Shortage, Material, and Individual Segment to narrow down the scope of your list.

This app provides you with the information that you need to be able to react to the shortage situation on time, meaning that you can avoid disruptions to production or to the fulfillment of customer demands. From this app, you can directly navigate to the Manage Material Coverage app to view details of the selected materials and check different solutions.

• Select an area of responsibility.
• Select a shortage definition depending on how you want the system to calculate the material shortage.

• View details of selected materials and check different solutions in the Manage Material Coverage app.
• Find which shortages you accepted in the Manage Material Coverage app.
• Revoke the acceptance of shortages to process the materials in the Manage Material Coverage app again and find solutions.

With this app, you can monitor the progress of production. You have an overview of the current situation with all the information you need to solve any issues. If, for example, a particular order is delayed, you can navigate to the details to see at a glance why the order is delayed – perhaps there are missing components or there is a quantity deviation. You then have the information you need to take immediate action to resolve the issue and to keep your production processes running as smoothly as possible.
