SAP Note: 772856

1. Question:
What is the difference between planned independent requirement consumption an
d planned independent requirement reduction ?

Answer:
The consumption reduces planned independent requirements dynamically, whereas
the reduction physically reduces the planning quantity and increases the withdrawa
l quantity accordingly.
For example: You create a planned independent requirement with 100 pieces. This
planned independent requirement is consumed against a sales order with 10 piece
s. The planning quantity and withdrawal quantity remain the same (see MD63) but t
he planned independent requirement is displayed in the stock/requirements list (M
D04) with the quantity 90. The independent requirements reduction occurs when y
ou post the goods movement, in this case, with the goods issue for the sales order.
The planning quantity of the planned independent requirement is reduced to 90 pi
eces and the withdrawal quantity is increased from 0 to 10 (see MD63). In the stoc
k/requirements list, the planned independent requirement is still displayed with 90
pieces despite the reduced planning quantity because when you post the goods iss
ue, the customer requirement against which the planned independent requirement
s had been consumed also disappears.
2. Question:
Which consumption parameters (Consumption mode/consumption period) are take
n into account?

Answer:
The parameters maintained in the material master (material requirements planning

view 3) have the highest priority. If you do not specify a consumption mode, the sys
tem uses the consumption parameters from the MRP group that is assigned to the
material. If a consumption mode is not specified there, the consumption mode is se
t to '1' by default (backward consumption only) with a (backward) consumption per
iod of 999 days. This means that the consumption cannot be deactivated because t
he consumption parameters have not been maintained. The consumption periods a
re calculated in workdays.
3. Question:
Where can I check whether a planned independent requirement is consumed or ag
ainst which requirements it is consumed?

Answer:
a) In the total requirements display (MD73), you can display details about which ass
ignment requirements (customer requirements, dependent requirements, reservati
ons, calls for stock transfers) are used to consume a planned independent requirem
ent.
b) In the stock/requirements list (MD04) or the MRP list (MD05), planned independ
ent requirements are displayed with their planning quantity minus the consumed q
uantities. Planned independent requirements that have been completely consumed
are not displayed.
c) In the planned independent requirements maintenance (MD61, MD62, MD63), yo
u can display the consumed quantities on the 'Schedule lines' tab page (Menu path
'Settings' -> 'Consumed quantity').
4. Question:
Why is a change to the strategy group or a consumption-relevant change in Custo
mizing ineffective?

Answer:
When you create a new planned independent requirements item, Customizing data
is stored in the corresponding database table (PBIM or PBID) and not adjusted late
r. When you delete and recreate a planned independent requirements item in Trans
action MD62, the changed Customizing data is not taken into account either becau
se the existing data record receives only a deletion indicator and is then reactivate
d. To physically delete the data record, you must completely reorganize an existing
planned independent requirements item (Transactions MD74, MD75, MD76). With t
he new entry, a new data record is created with the current Customizing settings (s
ee Note 166267).
Changes to the consumption mode and consumption periods are immediately effe
ctive.
5. Question:
Which settings are required to consume calls for stock transfers with planned indep
endent requirements?

a) For the consumption of a planned independent requirement with final assembly,

the 'Mixed MRP' indicator must be set to '1' in the material master. The consumptio
n indicator of the planned independent requirement must be set to '3' (see the 'Ite
m' tab page in Transaction MD63). When you create a planned independent require
ment, the system uses the default value from Customizing Transaction OMP6.
b) For the consumption of a planned independent requirement without final assem
bly, the 'Mixed MRP' indicator must be set to '3' in the material master. The consum
ption indicator of the planned independent requirement must be set to '3' (see the
'Item' tab page in Transaction MD63). When you create a planned independent req
uirement, the system uses the default value from Customizing Transaction OMP6.
c) A consumption with planned independent requirements of a planning material is
not possible.
6. Question:
How I can flexibly define against which MRP elements planned independent require
ments are consumed?

Answer:
Use 'Planning consumption indicator' on the item view of the planned independent
requirements maintenance (MD61, MD62, MD63) to determine whether a planned i
ndependent requirement is consumed against customer requirements, reservations,
dependent requirements and calls for stock transfers. The MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS BAd
I, which allows a more detailed differentiation based on the MRP elements, has bee
n implemented for Release 4.7. In previous releases, you can implement this BAdI u
sing modification Note 127370.
7. Question:
The availability check against planned independent requirement returns an unexpe
cted result. What has to be checked?

Answer:
Note 622299 describes the general procedure and also frequently asked questions.
8. Question:
Why are monthly or weekly requirements not consumed even though the assignme
nt requirement is in the same period?

Answer:
Planned independent requirements that are created as monthly requirements or we
ekly requirements are internally set to the first workday of the period. This is the re
quirements date in the stock/requirements list and the relevant date for the consu
mption.
For example: In the material master, a 10 days backward consumption is defined. A
monthly requirement for JAN/2005 is created. The first workday of the month is JA
N/03/2005. A customer requirement with the requirements date JAN/20/2005 is no
t consumed because there are more than 10 workdays between the customer requi
rement and the planned independent requirement. For consumption and reduction,
it does not make any difference whether the planned independent requirement was

created as the JAN/2005 monthly requirement or as the JAN/03/2005 daily require

ment.
9. Question:
I am using several active planned independent requirement items. Can I control the
order in which they are consumed?

Answer:
No. Schedule lines for planned independent requirements items with the same con
sumption-relevant settings, which only differ in 'Version' or 'Requirement plan num
ber' for example, are both used for consumption and reduction at the same time.
10. Question:
Why is a planned independent requirement not consumed against a customer requ
irement even though it is in the consumption period?

Answer:
It is a prerequisite that the 'Consumption indicator' of the planned independent req
uirement (ZUVKZ) corresponds to the 'Assignment indicator' of the customer requir
ement (VPZUO) and provides the consumption (values '1', '2' or '3'). You can check
these values by calling the detailed dialog box for the corresponding MRP element
in the stock/requirements list. The field is not displayed for customer requirements
that do not provide any consumption (VPZUO = ' '). The values are copied to the co
rresponding database tables (PBIM/ PBID, VBBE/VBBS) when you create the planne
d independent requirements item or the customer requirement and they are not ad
justed if the planning strategy or Customizing settings are changed (see question
4)

You must also ensure that the 'Planning consumption indicator' (VERVP) provides a
consumption with customer requirements. You can display this on the detail dialog
box for the planned independent requirements in the stock/requirements list (MD0
4) or in the item view of the independent requirements maintenance (MD61, MD62,
MD63). Any changes to this indicator affect the consumption immediately.
11. Question:
What should I do if customer requirements are not consumed because they are not
transferred to the material requirements planning or they have an incorrect assign
ment indicator?

Answer:
The settings of the requirements class that is found (Transaction OVZG) control the
transfer of requirements to the material requirements planning. If customer require
ments are not create as you want them to be, refer to point 7 of Note 547277 and a
lso to Note 207942. These notes describe how the requirements class is determine
d.
12. Question:
Why are planned independent requirements not consumed against requirements in
storage locations that are planned separately or that are excluded from the materia

l requirements planning?

Answer:
See Note 545327.
13. Question:
Can I ensure that customer requirements are consumed only with planned indepen
dent requirements if the respective requirements types are linked by the strategy (T
ransaction OPPS)?

Answer:
No. The consumption indicator and the assignment indicator that are derived from
the respective requirements type are relevant for the consumption (see question 1
0).
For example:You have assigned two strategies with different planned independent
requirements and customer requirement types to the planning strategy group that
is used. However, if all requirements types provide a consumption of a planned ind
ependent requirement with final assembly, the planned independent requirements
and customer requirements are both used for the consumption at the same time.
14. Question:
I am using the MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS BAdI. Why is an MRP element not consumed wi
th a planned independent requirement even though this should occur according to
the implementation?

Answer:
The BAdI allows you to determine in greater detail than you can using the previous
values of 'Planning consumption indicator' which requirements should be consume
d. However, other consumption-relevant settings must also be fulfilled (for exampl
e, consumption indicator = assignment indicator for customer requirements; Mixed
MRP for stock transfers).

你好！看了你的博客学习到很多知识，非常感谢。 看了以上关于独立需求的描述，我还是有个问题不能解
决：我测试的策略是10，消耗策略维护为1逆向消耗，逆向期间维护为2天，独立需求的日期为4月20日，
销售订单日期为21日，但是做完PGI后独立需求没有消耗。请问一下可能是什么原因，希望得到你的回
复。
