check based on the availability date is not performed because the goods issue posting<br />

takes place at the current point in time even if you can specify the execution<br />

date for goods issue posting in the transaction.<br />

5.8.4 Transfer of Requirements<br />

Transfer of requirements is another aspect of the availability check. Every item from<br />

your sales order or delivery document represents a requirement on your material.<br />

After all, your requirement reduces the stock of your material, at least the available<br />

stock on the material availability date. The “real” warehouse stock is not reduced<br />

until the goods issue posting takes place.<br />

Three options exist for the transfer of requirements to the planning of your materials.<br />

Either you transfer each individual sales order that is replaced by the delivery<br />

document during delivery, or you collect all requirements and transfer them<br />

cumulatively at an interval specified by you. For example, you can collect your<br />

requirements by weeks. These requirements would only appear in the requirements<br />

overview as a weekly total.<br />

You can view the complete requirements overview in the <strong>SAP</strong> system using Transaction<br />

MD04. In this overview, you can also view open purchase requisitions and<br />

purchase orders as well as your planned and production orders if you carry out<br />

in-house production. This, of course, depends on how you have set your system<br />

<strong>with</strong> regard to the transfer of requirements, including those from purchasing and<br />

production. Figure 5.79 shows this overview.<br />
