Material Requirements

You use this program to generate a report (in stock code sequence) listing material demand and supply as indicated by the Requirements Calculation program.

All demand and supply with a date prior to the latest requirements calculation date are accumulated and indicated as past due. Any stock available at the time of the calculation is accumulated into the past due period.

This applies if you selected Multiple days at the Period field.

This applies if you selected Weeks at the Period field.
MPS items This applies if you selected the print option: MPS items' actual demand only.

Include sales orders Select this to include sales orders for MPS items.
Print options  
Non-stocked items Select this to include non-stocked items in the report.
Pegging Select this to print the source of demand and supply (together with descriptions) for each material requirement.
MPS items actual demand only

Select this to print the actual demands for MPS items. This highlights whether the build schedules are sufficient to cover the demand for MPS items.

When you select this option, you can also include/exclude forecasts and/or sales orders for MPS items.

Print current Rev/Rel only

Select this to include requirements only for the current revisions/releases of ECC controlled items. Requirements for non-current revisions/releases of ECC controlled items are ignored and excluded from the report.

For example:

You have an ECC controlled item with 3 revision/releases - 001/001, 001/002, 002/001 and the current rev/rel is 002/001.

If you select this option, then only information pertaining to rev/rel 002/001 is included in the report. Anything to do with the prior versions (001/001 and 001/002) is ignored.

Items with suggested supplies only Select this to print only items having a suggested quantity to make or a suggested quantity to order.
Items with late supplies only

Select this to print only items that have late supplies.

To check this, the supply and demand is first accumulated into the specified time period. If the result for the period is negative, the item is deemed to have a late supply.

Print consolidated Rev/Rel Select this to consolidate all the supply/demand for all revisions/releases for an ECC controlled item and consolidate them into a single entity for printing.

For example, if you have an ECC controlled stock item with 3 revision/releases - 001/001, 001/002, 002/001 and you select this option, then all the information for the stock item (i.e. rev/rel 001/001, 001/002 and 002/001) is consolidated and printed as a single set on the report.
