planning cycle:A cycle in which the planning run is
performed for a material.
If a vendor delivers a material on a particular week day,
it is useful to plan this material according to the same
cycle, while allowing for the delivery time.
Total planning run:
strategy group:
Procurement Type:
Indicator that defines how the material is procured. The
following procurements types are possible:
The material is produced in-house.
The material is procured externally.
The material can be both produced in-house and procured
externally
Scheduling Margin Key for Floats:
Key that the system uses to determine the floats required
for scheduling an order. You define the following floats
with the scheduling margin key:
opening period
float after production (only in the case of in-house
production)
float before production (only in the case of in-house
production)
release period (only in the case of production order
management)
Floats are maintained in workdays.
Consumption mode:
The consumption mode controls the direction on the time
axis in which the system consumes requirements.
Use
In backward consumption, sales orders, dependent
requirements or material reservations consume planned
independent requirements that lie before the requirements
date.
In forward consumption, sales orders, dependent
requirements, or material reservations consume planned
independent requirements that lie after the requirements
date.

Availability Check:
This field has two uses:
1. Specifies whether and how the system checks availability
and generates requirements for materials planning.
2. In Flexible Planning, defines - together with the
checking rule - the different MRP elements that make up
this key figure. The sum of these elements gives the key
figure.
THESE ARE THE MAIN CONTROLS IN MRP

Hi All, In Repititive manufacturing during backflush we enter the production date and the batch. The classification for production date and Shelf life expiration date has been maintained in the material master. We have a characteristic "date of last goods reciept"which updates the characteristic value in the batch classification automatically from the production date entered in MFBF Tcode. Even though we have maintained the min shelf life and total shelf life the system does not calculate the remaining shelf life for the batch and does not update the value for shelf life in batch classification. Please suggest the procedure for updating values in batch classification for shelf life automatically from MFBF Regards, LN
