Component Requirement Calculation

• Storage site (field STOFCY)

This field contains the storage and/or production site. It is initialized by default with the normal storage site of the user.

• BOM type (field WFIL0)

• BOM type (field BOMALTTYP)

The code type is used to draw the distinction between the BOMs intended for sales use, those used for manufacturing and those used for sub-contracting.
The specialization of alternative BOM by site as well validation in "MRP", "MPS", "Costing" and "Manufacturing" is only possible for the alternative BOM type "production".

• BOM code (field BOMALT)

Select the alternative (or enter using 2 digits) for which the processing will be carried out.

• Reference date (field DATREF)

Only the BOMs links valid at this date are processed in the calculation.

 Entering a 0/0/0 date is not possible here.

• Parent product (field ITMREF)

This field indicates the ID of the component product.

• Calculation quantity (field CLCQTY)

This field is used to indicate the calculation quantity.
If a product reference has been mentioned in this field, it is initialized to the economic lot quantity, or by default, to the technical lot, and by default to 1.

• Stock unit (field STU)

This field indicates the product management unit in which are expressed:

• The stock
• The standard price
• The BOM link quantity, etc.

This information is always displayed, regardless of the transaction used. It cannot be modified.

• Processing mode (field TRT)

Requested processing type.

• Sort criteria (field SRTCOD)

Sorting criteria for the list or the inquiry.

• Available stock test (field AVATST)

If this box is ticked, the available stock of a semi-finished component will be taken into account in the BOM descent:

in the processing of the first level going through a phantom product (if there is insufficient available),

in the processing of multi-level in descending down for the missing quantity.

• Screen (field SCRFLG)

The result of the process will be displayed on the screen if this indicator is set.

• Report (field PRNFLG)

Click this check box to print a report of the MRP or MPS calculations at the end of the processing run.

• field FLG

• Product (field ITMREF)

This field indicates the ID of the component product.

• Product status (field ITMSTA)

Use the status to change product availability. The titles in the local menu can be set up and managed as follows:

• First value: Active: The product is available in all the processes.
• Second value: In development
• Third value: On shortage: The product does not appear in search results, but it can be used by directly entering its code. A non blocking warning message appears. If the product category is associated with the With confirmation creation mode, the status cannot not be accessed and its value is forced to the second value, In development.
• Fourth value: Not renewed
• Fifth value: Expired
• Sixth value: Not usable: The product does not appear in search results and cannot be used in the scripts. If you enter the product code, a blocking message displays.

Non blocking and blocking messages according to the context and status:

• Contexts - Input
• Non blocking message: In development, On shortage, Not renewed, or Obsolete
• Blocking message: Not usable


• Issues - BOMs
• Non blocking message: Not renewed, Expired, or Not usable


• WO (Component)
• Non blocking message: In development, On shortage
• Blocking message: Not renewed, Expired, or Not usable (product not returned)


• WO (parent product)
• Non blocking message: On Shortage
• Blocking message: In development, Not renewed, Obsolete, or Not usable


• Sales order
• Non-blocking message: In development, On shortage, Not renewed, or Obsolete
• Blocking message: Not usable


• Purchase order
• Non-blocking message: On Shortage
• Blocking message: In development, Not renewed, Obsolete, or Not usable


• Assembly – On shortage
• Compound assembled:
• Non blocking: Obsolete, Not renewed, or In development
• Component:
• Non blocking: Obsolete, Not renewed, or In development


• Disassembly – On shortage
• Compound assembled:
• No message: Obsolete, Not renewed, or In development

• Requirement quantity (field RETQTY)

This field displays the quantity related to the requirement.

• Stock unit (field STU)

This field indicates the product management unit in which are expressed:

• The stock
• The standard price
• The BOM link quantity, etc.

This information is always displayed, regardless of the transaction used. It cannot be modified.

• Quantity shortage (field SHTQTY)

This field indicates the shortage quantity.

• Available quantity (field AVAQTY)

This field displays the available quantity expressed in the stock unit of the components.

• Level (field NIV)

Number of BOM levels above the component.

• Parent product (field ITMCMP)

• BOM status (field USESTA)

This field indicates the status on the shop floor of the preparation of the operations and tools in this routing. This field will be set to one of the following values:

• 'In development', if the routing is not yet complete.
• 'Available to use', if the routing is complete and the coherence of the routing operations have been validated.

 A routing can only be assigned to the various manufacturing processes (such as work orders and cost calculations) when its status is 'Available to use'.

 The 'In development' and 'Available to use' sites must be identical.

• Lead time (field LTI)

This field indicates the lead-time asked for the reception of the products, displayed in number of days.
If no value is entered in this zone, a reception date will be suggested.

• Time unit (field LTIUOM)

• Bought (field PURFLG)

This checkbox specifies that the site is a purchase site.
In this case, the data linked to these different management activities can be linked with this site.

• Manufactured (field MFGFLG)

When checked, this box specifies that the site is a production site.
In this case, the data linked to the different management activities can be linked to this site.

• field LIGNE

Each of the lines in the grid corresponds to a line in the log file.
