Requirement request item

Requirement request item

Description

From the MRP viewpoint, a requirement coverage item represents a planned receipt ("requirements coverage"). If requirements are ordered, the requirement request item is replaced by another MRP receipt document: Order item (e.g. in the Approved Requirement Request module).

Attention- Transfer of attributes from order item:
If a requirement request for an order part with in-house supplies is created either directly from an order or as level 0 in the part request, all order item attributes are transferred to the requirement request. Usually only those attributes are taken over which are available in the attribute bar of the variant part.

Position types

see order position

Subsequently combine an open requirement request item with an open delivery schedule line

S. Order item.

Cancellation

A requisition item can be cancelled (for example, if the item has already been ordered but the order was subsequently cancelled). A cancelled requirement request item is not considered in most modules: it is not posted to the MRP account, the parts to be ordered are considered as not yet requested, etc. In info modules, however, such items are displayed (e.g. document history).

Transfer of data from the requirement request into a purchase order

The prices of the requisition item are not copied into the purchase orders, except that no price could be redetermined, controlled by characteristics from the order/item and the selection of the supplier, or the price is 0.

For more detailed pricing in orders see here.

The note for the recipient is also included in the order. The note, however, is not.

The note for the recipient appears in the field of the same name in the delivery schedule. In the list of delivery schedule lines on the order item, this text is displayed under the heading Remarks.

Functionality

Input window

This window is used to maintain requirement request items.

Via the item 'Edit - Item type' you can select how the price of the item should be calculated.

With the point 'Edit -Type' you can decide afterwards which type the position should be displayed.

Via the item 'Edit - Select part' you can call up the different search masks via the points specified there. Via 'Purchasing part', for example, the search mask for order items opens, from which you can now select the relevant item by double-clicking.

The 'Requirement request item' window adapts to any selection.

If you have decided on one of the possibilities, e.g. for a sales order, you can take over items from an order directly via 'Insert'. The 'Order item' window then opens, in which you call up the corresponding order, select the item to be ordered and confirm with 'OK'.

The order quantity must be specified in the 'Part' section. Clicking on 'Part' opens the search mask for the parts master, from which you can now select the relevant part by double-clicking.

If a provision is necessary for the requirement request, a note is displayed next to the order type: ATTENTION: PROVISION. Next to this hint a button "Beistellungen" appears, which opens the attached provisions.

In the field 'Supplier' you can select a supplier from the supplier master.

You can then enter the price, the supplier's order number, any discount to be granted, the desired delivery date and any comments on the order under 'Note'.

Press 'OK' to save your position and the machine will automatically assign a position number.

Fields
Field Description
Position
: Number Requirement request item number
: Status The status is used to control the further disposition process of this requisition. If a requirement request is not yet completely ordered, i.e. the requirement request quantity is greater than the ordered quantity, but the remaining quantity is also not to be ordered, the item status can be set to "completed". The remaining requirement coverage request is then ignored and the requirement coverage request is removed from the MRP account.

If the complete goods of a requirement request are no longer needed, the status can be set to "Canceled".

: Requestor The requestor is usually also the processor of the requirement request and is specified
: Internal address Internal location (e.g. employee or cost centre) to which the requested part is sent
In the search box, you can enter both the user ID and account number.
: Order type

There are four possible connection types between order items and delivery schedules:

  1. Same part AU+BE (order type=no specification) , business processes run without restrictions, i.e. at goods receipt/warehousing the order item is also posted and its status adjusted.
  2. Different parts AU+BE (order type=additional order), goods receipt/warehousing do NOT book the order item further! However, the cost centre is linked to the order item and the costs incurred for the order are included in the order calculation.
  3. Different parts AU+BE (order type=alternative part), goods receipt post the order item on the basis of the quantity specified in the order It is important that both parts have the same units!
  4. Work contract (order category=work contract) Indicator on order item: Several predecessors of different parts can be drawn as predecessors in the delivery schedule line.
    Attention! No goods receipt/warehousing may take place here, the only way to complete this booking chain is with direct delivery!
    When booking direct delivery, all preceding order items are booked as completely delivered, regardless of the quantity! A partial delivery is NOT possible!

If a requirement request is to be created for an order item group, it must be set to the order category "additional order" before being assigned to the order item. If this is not done, a message appears that the items can only participate in the procurement process after the sales release.

: Supplies If the order part is a part with provision, this button is displayed. This button takes you to the required provision document. These goods must be sent to the supplier together with the order.
: Request -
: : Quantity Required quantity. When inserting the order item, the packaging unit of the order item is entered as the unit.
: : Order item If a new order item is selected and a supplier agreement is found for it and a supplier is already selected for the item, the system asks whether the supplier of the supplier agreement should be adopted.
: : purchase area

purchase area field is set according to the following rules:

  1. If a supplier is assigned for the part on the requisition item and this supplier is in turn assigned an purchase area, then this purchase area is preset.
  2. If the part on the requisition item in the master record has an assignment to an purchase area via the corresponding order article, then its purchase area is preset when the part is selected.
  3. Otherwise: the purchase area is preset, which has structure ID (see structures) "99".
  4. Otherwise: the first purchase area from the structure "purchase areas" is preset.
: : Note Internal note for purchasing (e.g. price still to be negotiated)
: : Attributes The attributes are taken from the part master. If the BA is generated from a predecessor (order etc.), the values of the attributes are preset according to the predecessor. Otherwise, the attributes must be specified manually.
: : Supplier This is the guideline for the purchasing department from which supplier the goods should be ordered.

If a part is drawn into the BA, the supplier is determined automatically. This is done in the following order:

  1. The supplier is taken over from the attribute "supplier" predecessor, if the supplier has it.
    (This is usually the case with the commercial goods database).
  2. The predecessor defines the supplier via his data.
    (This is the case, for example, with external work sequences)
  3. The order item defines the standard supplier
    1. The conditional A-supplier
    2. The A-supplier
    3. The supplier with a valid framework agreement with this part
    4. The first B-supplier
    5. The first C-supplier
    6. The supplier from whom the last order was placed

When inserting or changing the supplier, all conditions are removed. If a price agreement exists, these conditions are inserted.

: : Price per

First, a check is made to see whether a supplier has already been selected in the requisition. If so, a check is made in the purchase order article role of the selected part to see whether special supply agreements have been entered for this supplier, which would otherwise be copied into the requirement request item as a price with possible discounts.

If there is no supply agreement with the supplier selected in the requisition, the price is taken from the order article role.

If the requirement request is created from an order, all the characteristics of the order and the corresponding order item play an important role in the price determination. You control any price tables that may exist, which depend either on the price of the order item role or the supply agreement.

If no price is specified on the order item reel or if the price is zero, the cost price from the order is taken as the order price.

: : Order no. If a supplier agreement is found for the ordered article and supplier and this agreement has its own order number (either character string or conditional table), this number is adopted. If a change to the supplier agreement (another supplier selected or change directly to the supplier agreement) or attribute values (evaluation of the conditional table could change) results in a different order number, a message appears indicating whether the new order number should be adopted or the current one retained.
Should another supplier be selected who does not have an order number, the current one will be retained.
: : Discount / Surcharge
: : Net price
: : Date optional delivery date
: : Order text may be amended

Note for recipient / supplier

This field is intended to provide special information to the purchasing department so that they can possibly rework the order or take care of certain items there. This field is not intended to be passed on to the outside!

If you want to tell the supplier or the recipient something, there are the fields Note for supplier and Note for recipient, the view can be switched by clicking the corresponding button. These fields should be used especially if the actual order text of a part from the parts master, i.e. not e.g. a text article, is not sufficient or has to be supplemented for a special reason!
If the actual order text is never sufficient or always has to be supplemented by the same addition, then this should be corrected in the master data or the supplier agreement.
This is particularly important because, for example, in the case of blanket orders, the order text with which the original blanket order was created or ordered is taken into account. Since it is not known here whether this order text has been significantly changed with important notes, a blanket order is only extended if its order text matches the order text from the requisition!

: Forced QA inspection If this flag is set, all subsequent goods receipts are put into the condition that they must be inspected by QS when they are posted. Thus the flag has the same meaning as the QS flag on the part. If the supplier is expecting goods that are likely to be defective, this flag should be set.
If the part is already a QA part, the checkbox is greyed out.
Forced audit The effect of this flag is that an invoice for incoming goods can be checked and therefore not automatically released.
: Storage needs -
: : Storage The warehouse to which the requested quantity is to go. If nothing is selected, the posting is made to the main warehouse.
: : Company code The company code of the selected warehouse. The requested quantity is posted to this company code according to the company code settings. If the selected company code has the "No main account posting" indicator, the requirement coverage request is NOT posted to the general MRP account of the part, but only to the company code!

: Conditions This field contains the conditions.

ATTENTION: If the supplier is changed (insert new or change supplier) all conditions will be removed. If a price agreement exists, these conditions are inserted.


External documents (see procurement documents)
Associations
: : List Here the procurement documents are displayed, which were directly associated with the requirement request.

The "Control" indicator can be maintained by double-clicking on it, which indicates whether the document should be made available to the supplier or not.
