Re: RE: MPS & non-MPS items

  
Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
Need some clarification on this.

Is it that generally, Finished Product or End Item and/or those intermediates 
(child items) having spares demand are ONLY MPS while rest of the items in BOM 
struture (including manufactured as well as purchased) are non-MPS ?

What makes it to MPS, is it Independent Demand or which criteria ? or is it 
that those items having Production Plan, Forecast, Customer Order, are only MPS 
?

Child MANUFACTURED items, being dependent on its parent demand, are necessarily 
be considered as non-MPS ?

Thanks & Regards,
Prashanth
