Special Settings for Repetitive Manufacturing 
For assembly processing with Repetitive Manufacturing, the same strategy group and requirements type/class are used as described in section Special Settings for Planned Orders.
If you use the planning table in Repetitive Manufacturing, there are more settings you have to make.
Repetitive Manufacturing for Make-to-Order Production With or Without the Planning Table
The special settings for Repetitive Manufacturing depend on the following criteria:
- whether you want to use the planning table in Repetitive Manufacturing to assign the production quantities to production lines or to carry out capacity planning, for example
- whether you do not want to use the planning table to plan the run schedule quantities and instead, for example, you want to use:
- the current stock/requirements list from MRP to gain an overview of the run schedule quantities
- the capacity leveling functions from the stock/requirements list or from capacity planning to adjust the master plan.
Repetitive Manufacturing for Make-to-Order Production with Planning Table
If you want to use the planning table, you must maintain the following data:
- In the material master record:
- You must allow Repetitive Manufacturing for the material.
- You must enter a Repetitive Manufacturing profile. Various control parameters are contained in this profile, for example, for the movement types in backflushing and for posting costs.
We recommend that you use a profile for which the cost collector has to be created manually as a cost collector is not required for make-to-order production.
The Repetitive Manufacturing profile also determines whether the costs are to be posted with or without activities (machine costs, labor costs, and so on) when backflushing. If you decide to post with activities, they are then automatically posted with the final backflush.
- You must create a production version containing the data relevant for production - alternative BOM, group, group counter, production line, and so on. If you work without routings, you must enter at least the BOM and the production line in the production version.
- In the Repetitive Manufacturing menu:
- You must create a run schedule header with reference to the production version.
Repetitive Manufacturing for Make-to-Order Without the Planning Table
If you choose not to work with the planning table, you must make the following settings in the material master record:
- You must enter a Repetitive Manufacturing profile. Various control parameters are contained in this profile, for example, for the movement types in backflushing and for posting costs.
We recommend that you use a profile for which the cost collector has to be created manually as a cost collector is not required for make-to-order production.
The Repetitive Manufacturing profile also determines whether the costs are to be posted with or without activities (machine costs, labor costs, and so on) during backflush. If you decide to post with activities, they are then automatically posted with the final backflush.
The special goods receipt posting with reference to the sales order is available whether you work with or without the planning table.
