planned order in the relevant time interval or is some capacity still available for
other orders in the same period?

____________________________________________________
a) By dispatching a planned order on production line T-L3##, the line only
reaches a comparatively low capacity load (see the planning table: Capacity
data in the row for production line T-L3##). The capacity data is not available
on the same day as the production quantities since the quantities are
determined to the day according to availability, while the capacity load of the
production line is determined tothe hour and minute according to the
production date.

Exercise 17: Perform Material Staging for Repetitive

Manufacturing
.
Business Example
For assembly production of motherboard T-B10##, you want to check for missing
components in the production storage location PL03 and use stock transfer measures to
stage missing components for a certain production period.
Carry out Material Staging

Now that you have run MRP to cover your requirements and scheduled production to the
appropriate lines, you need to ensure that the material is available to support production.
In this section you will learn how material staging supports backflushing.
1. Execute the pull list for production line T-L3## in plant 1200, in order to stage the
necessary components for production. The staging should be performed for line
for all requirements that are received until Tuesday of the week after next. In this
example, material staging is performed at storage location level. Some steps in the
pull list can be carried out automatically, Create replenishment proposals and
Batch/stock determination. Make the changes in global settings.

Caution:
Material staging (using direct stock transfer in this case) is not carried out until
you save the pull list. If you need a printout of the list for the physical stock
transfer, we recommend printing it before you save (Pull List Print). Save your
results.

8. Check the stock transfer posting in the message log for the pull list (in a separate

5. How have the planned quantities changed?
____________________________________________________
____________________________________________________
a) The first planned order quantity is (or quantities are) reduced according to the
confirmation quantity. Explanation: For demonstration purposes, the
backflushwas made with a date (today) that is before the actual production
dates. The confirmation quantity is therefore interpreted as over-production
that reduces subsequently planned orders accordingly (firstplanned orders
first).

Open Question

Why do you need a material cost estimate to calculate production activities in repetitive

Unit 3

.
Due to the handling of production quantities with planned orders there is no real "order"
object to collect and carry the production activities. This is covered by a material cost
estimate and subsequent price update in the material master.
