Allowed Dependency Types
• Preconditions are allowed for characteristics and characteristic values.
• Selection conditions are allowed for characteristics, BOM items,
operations, and production resources/tools.
• Procedures & Actions are allowed for characteristics, characteristic values,
BOM items, operations, and configuration profiles.
• Constraints can only be linked to a configuration profile via
dependency nets.

Processing Sequence for Dependencies
• Each time you enter a value for a characteristic on the value assignment
screen and confirm the value, the system processes all the dependencies.
• The dependencies are processed in the following sequence:
1. All actions several times, until no more values can be inferred.
2. All procedures exactly once in the following sequence:
a) Procedures for the configuration profile in the order you defined
b) Procedures for characteristics
Variant Configuration

c) Procedures for characteristic values


The procedures for each characteristic or value are processed in the order you
defined.
3. Actions
Values set by procedures can also trigger actions. For this reason, all actions are
processed again.
4. Preconditions
5. Selection conditions for characteristics
Constraints are processed in parallel with points 1–3, if all the objects in the
OBJECTS

section are present, and if all the conditions in the CONDITIONS section are 3
fulfilled

2. Checking Requirements Using MRP (T Code :MD04)
Step1 to create sales order has already been discussed earlier.

2. Stock Requirements List:


• The sales order is displayed as a separate planning segment (sales order
stock required on material availability date and sales order).

3. Requirements Planning (T Code :MD50)

4. Convert the Planned Order into a Production Order
(MD04)

• Planned Orders are a result of MRP run and serve to provide an initial
Production Schedule.
• Production Orders contain comprehensive information to support a shop
floor schedule and provide a method to confirm operations performed.
• Production orders can be created with reference to a Planned Order.

5. Confirming Production Order (CO11N)

• Back flushing (posting of an issue of components or material withdrawals)


• Storage of the finished product in the warehouse to sales order stock
• Goods Movements are posted (errors if any can be corrected in COGI)
• Actual costs are calculated
• Just in case, to close the order without yielding a product, perform Restrict
Processing -> Technical Completion for Production Order in CO02.
