Pass Requirements
This field applies to APS and MRP.
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.
This field works in conjunction with Accept Requirements and Phantom Flag. The item is planned based on the settings of these options:
| Accept Req.? | Pass Req.? | Phantom Flag? | APS Planning Behavior | MRP Planning Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Y | Y | N | Plan this item based on its parent item's demand, and also plan its components. | Plan this item. Accept demand from parent item. Pass demand to this item's components. |
| Y | N | N | Plan this item based on its parent item's demand, but do not plan its components. | Plan this item. Accept demand from parent item. Do not pass demand to this item's components. |
| N | Y | N | Do not plan this item, but plan its components. | Plan this item. Do not accept component demand from parent items. Pass demand to this item's components. |
| N | N | N | Do not plan this item or its components. | Plan this item. Do not accept component demand from parent items. Do not pass demand to this item's components. |
| Y | Y | Y | Plan this item only if it is an end item, and also plan its components. | Plan this item only if it is an end item. Accept demand from parent items. Pass demand to this item's components. |
| N | Y | Y | Plan this item only if it is an end item. Do not accept demand from parent items. Pass demand to this item's components. | |
| Y | N | Y | Plan this item only if it is an end item, and do not plan its components. | Plan this item only if it is an end item. Accept demand from parent items. Do not pass demand to this item's components. |
| N | N | Y | Plan this item only if it is an end item. Do not accept demand from parent items. Do not pass demand to this item's components. | |
Note:
- The system considers the Pass Requirements parameter only when processing planned orders or MPS receipts.
- The system does not consider the Pass Requirements parameter for items that have the Phantom Flag 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.
- The Phantom Flag is located on the Items or Multi-Site Items form and applies only to items for which the field is selected.
