Field help (SUGTYP)

Use this field to define the type of information that should be generated by the MRP or MPS processing run.

Select from the following values:

MRP handles supply and demand information for phantom products in the same way as for standard BOM components. Note the differences between the With MRP pegging and MRP pegging only values.

• No processing: Do not process the components and associated parent products.
• With MRP pegging: Generate suggestions from the parent products, and generate trace requirements and resources, and suggestions for the components.
  
  • Phantom products: When the quantity in stock of the phantom product is:
  • Zero, do not display material requirement demand for phantom products in the MRP results.
  • Greater than zero, display material requirement demand for the quantity in stock of the phantom product in the MRP results.
  • Phantom BOM components: Display material requirement demand in the MRP results. When the quantity in stock of the phantom product is:
  • Zero, the suggested component quantity is the quantity required to meet the generated order suggestion.
  • Greater than zero, the suggested component quantity is the quantity required to meet the generated order suggestion minus the quantity in stock of the phantom product.
• Without MRP pegging: Generate suggestions from the parent products without generating trace requirements and resources for the components, that is, there will be no suggestions arising from the trace requirements and resources.
• MRP pegging only: Only generate requirements for the parent product. Do not generate suggestions.
  Display material requirement demand for the phantom product and the phantom BOM components in the MRP results.
• Phantom products: The suggested quantity is the quantity required to meet the generated order suggestion.
• Phantom BOM components: When the quantity in stock of the phantom product is:
• Zero, the suggested component quantity is the quantity required to meet the generated order suggestion.
• Greater than zero, the suggested component quantity is the quantity required to meet the generated order suggestion minus the quantity in stock of the phantom product.
