Overview
Requirement records in the ICIXR object are created for an Inventory Item based on its Demand and Supply Orders or by the Launch of MRP. These are reference records with the main details of the Order in a shortened format. Users can access the Requirements records without surfing through all the data in individual Orders.

Processing
The Requirement records are auto-created due to an Item's demand and supply order creation.

The Requirement records are auto-deleted once the Demand or Supply Orders are closed.
The Demand Orders are:
-
WO Component Demand
-
Subcontract PO Demand
-
SO Line Demand
-
Forecast Demand
The Supply Orders are:
-
Work Order Supply
-
Disassembly Supply
-
Purchase Order
-
Requisition Supply
NOTE The MRP Planning Policy selected on the Inventory Item Master also plays a crucial role in creating the Requirement records when MRP is launched.

IMPORTANT When the flag 'Exclude Requirement from MRP' is True on the Requirement record, MRP Process will exclude those Requirements from all the planning processes. The system will set this flag 'Exclude Requirement from MRP' to True when creating the Requirements records for:
-
Configured Sales Order Line Demand and the Work Order serving as the Supply for the Configured Sales Order Line.
-
Direct purchases associated with the Sales Order Line Demand and the Purchase Order Line serving as Supply for the Sales Order Line.
However, the system will not set the 'Exclude Requirement from MRP' to true for the Requirement record (with 'Order Type' value as 4) created for a child component belonging to the subcontract item used on the Direct purchase associated with the Sales Order Line.
