Items - Pass Requirements

Select this field to have the system calculate MRP or APS requirements (also called demands) for this item's component materials in the bill of material. If you clear the box, no requirements will be passed down to any of this item's component materials. Typically, you will select this field for manufactured items and clear this field for purchased items that have a bill of material.

The Accept/Pass Requirements fields work in conjunction with the Phantom Flag. The item is planned based on the settings of these options:


Accept Requirements?	Pass Requirements?	Phantom Flag?	APS Planning Bhevaior
Yes	Yes	No	Plan this item based on its parent item's demand, and also plan its components.
Yes	No	No	Plan this item based on its parent item's demand, but do not plan its components.
No	Yes	No	Do not plan this item, but plan its components.
No	No	No	Do not plan this item or its components.
Yes	Yes	Yes	Plan this item only if it is an end item, and also plan its components.
No	Yes	Yes	Plan this item only if it is an end item, and also plan its components.
Yes	No	Yes	Plan this item only if it is an end item, and do not plan its components.
No	No	Yes	Plan this item only if it is an end item, and do not plan its components.

Note: The system considers the Pass Requirements parameter only when processing planned orders or MPS receipts.

Note: The system does not consider the Pass Requirements parameter for items that have the Phantom Flag (see “Items - Phantom Flag” for more information) selected. If a parent item that has Pass Requirements selected also has a phantom subassembly in its current bill of material, the system passes that parent item's planned orders or MPS receipts through to the phantom item's components without looking at the phantom item's Pass Requirements setting.

Note: The Phantom Flag is located on the Items form and applies only to items for which the field is selected.
