Manage Material Coverage (Version 2)
Application component: Fiori UI for Material Requirements Planning
App type: Transactional
Line of business: Supply Chain
Leading industry: Cross Industry
Solution capability: Material Requirements Planning (S/4)
Description:  With this app, you can display and analyze coverage issues that exist for selected materials. For each material that you select, you can display a stock / requirements list including material shortage information, which helps you determine shortages that can cause disruptions to production or to the fulfillment of customer demands. You can also take actions directly from the app, for example, start an MRP run or edit MRP elements to resolve coverage issues. The app considers net requirements segments, individual customer and project segments, and direct production segments that exist for each material.   Note This app is the successor of the app Manage Material Coverage (F0251). It provides an improved look-and-feel based on the Fiori elements framework as well as feature enhancements, for example, the selection of multiple materials or additional information and navigation options in the material overview table and quickviews. However, this app does not yet fully cover all aspects of the current Manage Material Coverage (F0251) app. For more information about the supported features of both apps, see Feature Comparison for Managing Material Coverage.If you want to use this app as an alternative to the Manage Material Coverage (F0251) app, you can enable direct navigation to this app from the Monitor Material Coverage apps. A corresponding switch is available from the user-specific app settings in the user actions menu of the Monitor Material Coverage apps.  This app is contained in the business catalog Production Planning - MRP Cockpit (SAP_SCM_BC_MRPCOCKPIT). For more information about the business role templates, see the Fiori Apps Reference Library for your release.

Key features:  You can use this app to do the following:   Display a list of materials according to the selection criteria that you specify. This list can include collective requirements materials as well as make-to-stock and make-to-order materials. Depending on which filters you want to use, you can specify filter values directly in the app or define default values using the settings that are available from the user actions menu. Default filter values are automatically applied to all apps that reference them and support the default values option.   Select a shortage definition depending on how you want the system to calculate material shortages. You can choose from the following shortage definitions by default:   MRP Standard Represents the standard MRP logic Use this option to compare all supplies with all demands.   Stock Days' Supply Calculates the stock days' supply Use this option to compare available stock with planned demands.   Ordered Requirements Use this option to calculate whether you have sufficient planned receipts (supplies) to cover your ordered demands (requirements).   Ordered Receipts Use this option to calculate whether you have ordered enough receipts (supplies) to cover your planned demands (requirements).   Note You can define additional shortage definitions in the configuration settings for material shortage profiles. In your configuration environment, use the search function to open the following activity: Define Material Shortage Profiles.   Open the stock / requirements list for each material to display the coverage situation and determine actions that might be required   View the stock / requirements list as an aggregated table in which the same MRP elements for the same day are aggregated into one line   Open quickviews to display additional information about each MRP element included in the stock / requirements list   Display detailed material information, including the days' supply and a stock availability chart for the next 42 days   Perform an MRP run at material level   Create purchase requisitions, stock transport requisitions, planned orders, or schedule lines for scheduling agreements   Perform a rescheduling check to determine issues and proposed actions for MRP elements and execute these actions as required   Hand over, edit, convert, or delete receipt elements directly from the stock / requirements list   Create MRP change requests to notify your suppliers and keep track of changes when an existing purchase order or stock transport order must be updated   Accept shortages if they do not require any action   Display, edit, and enter notes for the material   Navigate to other apps to access further information or to change material data   Note If the order unit of a material is different from its base unit of measurement (base UoM), you can change the quantity of purchase orders in the order unit. The system immediately shows you the quantity in the base UoM as well.
