What does demand for each part number mean?

[Former Member]

Hi I am asked to sum all the demands for a partnumber for a given period.

Logic says i need to add up all the negative qty (Demand) per MD04. MDEZ-DAT00 = + - 30 days from todays date.

Can some one help me find out which Tables and fields i need to use to obtain this.

Thanks.

Useful ans will be awarded.

Hi,

Try to use the std FM MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST_API. The output table MDPSX gives you the list that you have in MD04.

This FM is most widley used in reports.

Demand for a part means for a given period( either monthly or quartely) what is the expected selling capacity.

Can I use RESB table for this?

I am trying to use this fm MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST_API.

I am asked to pick those qty with negative value in MD04, which is DEMAND for a particular material

But there are exceptions like CusOrd should not be picked unless its planning strategy group is blank.

For this if I look for field PLART in MDPSX = 1, will it be sufficient?

AS of now I am picking

1. Safety stock

2. Dependant reqmnt

3. Planned independant reqmnt

4. Dependant reqmnt

5. Order (provided plnd strgy grp is blank)

Are these the only ones which comprises of Demand for a material?

USeful ans will be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
