A material requirement is a requirement for an amount of material to be consumed or produced at a certain location. In the process of planning Inventory operations, it is often necessary to plan the requirements for consumption and production of materials within the production process. This is done to make sure that upstream processes are able to produce enough materials.
The read-only Material Requirements view in Production Analyst provides a view of material requirements for Inventory plans.
