Explain transfer of requirement? How it works and how to configure? It specifies the following points: 1. 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), 2. Whether the requirements are relevant for MRP, 3. The allocation indicator from the sales view which controls the settlement of customer requirements with requirements, 4. Whether an item is to be settled to an auxiliary account assignment, 5. The settlement profile, 6. The results analysis key. When a sales order is raised, then the system check for availability of goods. If the availability of goods is not there, then the system creates a TOR for the supply of goods to PP. Then PP can do procure or produce the goods. This can be configured by creating requirement class and requirement type and in the corresponding schedule line category requirement had to be checked. 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. The following sections on the transfer of requirements describe how to control the transfer of requirements. The transfer of requirements is basically dependent upon the following factors: - requirements type - requirement class - check group - schedule line category The transfer of requirements is controlled globally using the requirements class which is derived from the requirements type for all sales document types. For the sales document types, fine tuning is also possible at schedule line level. This fine tuning is described in the section "Defining the procedure for each schedule line category". Note that the requirements classes are also used in production so you should coordinate any changes to the requirements classes with production. The requirements type and, eventually, requirements class are determined in the strategy group so all changes made there should also be coordinated with production. For performing 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 proposed for 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. Requirements transferred to planning are further processed in the module MM. You must, therefore, coordinate the transfer of requirements with the module MM.
