Definition of “planned” and “fixed” acquisitions and retirements

The division of the various MRP elements into “planned” and “fixed” can be administered on a customer-specific basis. Here you can define, in the same way as in Customizing for ERP, whether dependent requirements, for example, are copied and displayed as fixed or planned issues in the cost estimate of the forecast of requirements. This configuration enables the purchasing department to provide the supplier with information that is as precise as possible and tailored to the individual requirements of the company’s own production.
