Creating PIRs Without Reference 

Procedure

  1. To create planned independent requirements without a reference, choose Logistics → Production → Master Planning → Demand Management → Planned indep.reqmts → Create.

The initial screen for maintaining planned independent requirements appears.

  1. Enter the material number, the name of the product group, or the requirements plan.
  2. Enter the plant and / or the material (see

Material Requirements Planning).

  1. Enter the version and choose Continue.

The system creates the planned independent requirements with this version number.

The screen that allows you to maintain planned independent requirements appears.

See Maintaining Requirements Parameters.

  1. Check and change the parameters, if necessary.
  2. Check and change the period indicator, if necessary.
  3. Enter the requirements date and the planned quantity of the planned independent requirements.
  4. Use the following table to proceed.

If you want to…

Then…

Split the total planned independent requirement quantity into periods (in the planning table or schedule line tab page)

See Splitting PIRs (Periodic Disaggregation)

Use the interactive forecast to determine the planning quantities

See Determining Planning Quantities Using the Material Forecast

Assign production versions to the schedule lines

Select Settings → Production version

Assign BOM explosion numbers

Select Settings → BOM explosion number

Indicate the planned independent requirements are to be consumed and not planned in the net requirements calculation

Select W/o MRP. Sales order or customer requirements can consume the planned independent requirements. However, the requirements quantities do not cause stocking of the components. This procedure is useful for characteristics planning if the planned independent requirements are used to stock at assembly level.

Work with a configurable material for which usage probabilities are maintained
