Hi Sudhahar,

Actually Requirement Class & Requirement Types , both are used in SD Configuration of Availability Check & Transfer of Requirements (to MRP Dept).

All Global settings for the Availability check & Transfer of Requirement are done is Requirement Class. Also Requirement class control the MRP, Consumption of PIR with Customer Requirement & Whether Customer Requirement are Relevant to Planning or not (just for display).

Where as in Requirement Types we can define different Requirement Types like sales order requirements, delivery requirements or individual customer requirements.

And Requirement Types are assigned to Requirement Class in configuration in order to carryout Availability check & Transfer of Requirement.

Also all setting related to Requirements are set in Requirement class.

I hope your doubt is clear now.

Hence Reward points and close the Thread

Requirement Type

Requirement type, as name suggests tells that what type of requirement is it, whether sales order requirement, delivery requirements or individual customer requirements.

The requirements type determines the planning strategy to be used for a particular requirement

Requirement type is going to be determined automatically by following a search

strategy

1. System checks “Strategy Group” in MRP 3 view of the material master.

2. Then it will go to MRP Group in MRP 1 view of the material master.

3. Then it will try to determine using Material type.

4. Then it will go to Item Category + MRP type (SD Assignment).

5. Then it will go to Item category to determine and finally

6. System will assume that the transaction is not relevant for TOR

Requirement Class

Requirement Class is key link between SD and PP.

Key which specifies the planning strategy internally within the system.

One or more requirements types can be allocated to the requirements class. Planning strategies and requirements are linked via the requirements type.

In OVZG you can see the link points mainly Assembly, it decides which kind of Production order will be generated for requirement of SO

Different requirements types or combinations of requirements types from planned independent requirements and customer requirements are defined for each planning strategy.

Requirements class:

One or more requirements types can be allocated to the requirements class. Planning strategies and requirements are linked via the requirements type
