DeterminingtheRequirementClassinRelationtotheMater_Ani.mp4

Whether or not an availability check is carried out may depend on the material or operation. You can define this using the requirement class. Determining the requirement class using the material: First, an attempt is made to determine a strategy using the strategy group from the material master. If the strategy group is not maintained, the MRP group is used to determine it. If the MRP group is not defined, the system uses the material type instead of the MRP group to determine the strategy group (the material type has to be maintained as the MRP group). A requirement type for customer requirements is determined using the strategy. The requirement class is determined using the requirement type for the customer requirement. The availability check for the requirement class is then activated in the required method.

DeterminingtheRequirementClassinRelationtotheOpera_Ani.mp4

Determining the requirement class using the operation: If a requirement class cannot be determined using the material, the system attempts to determine a requirement type or class using the item category (document) and the MRP type, (material master). If this is not possible, the system attempts to determine a requirement type or class using only the item category. If all of the attempts to determine the requirement class fail, or if the availability check is deactivated for the determined requirement class, the operation is not relevant for the availability check.
