Demand and strategy cheat sheet

• PIRs: MD61/62/63 or Fiori; right plant, active version, sensible period split.
• Strategy group in MRP 3 selects the strategy; it overrides the MRP group for consumption.
• 10: orders from stock, PIRs reduced at goods issue. 40: orders consume PIRs, overflow planned.
• 20: no PIRs, individual segment, lot-for-lot, sales order stock. 50: VP orders prepare components.
• Consumption modes: 1 backward, 2 back/forward, 3 forward, 4 forward/back; periods in workdays.
• No consumption values = backward 999 days. Consumption runs at order creation or change.
• MD04: live; check segments, available quantity, exception messages (10, 15, 20 for firm receipts).
• Reorganize unconsumed past PIRs (MD74) on a schedule.
• Test: known start, one change, before-and-after lists, expected values written first.
• Cutover: load PIRs before open sales orders.
