Automatic Grid Value Assignment
Features
If a component has the same grid as the header material the system automatically assigns thegrid values of the component to the grid values of the header material. A component "ithout gridor a standard component are automatically assigned to the header material as "ell.
If you "ant to maintain consumption $uantities for the components that deviate from the default$uantities then enter the deviation and (ero $uantities 1see 0eviation 7uantities and 8ero7uantities2.
9ormally the system considers the default $uantities as consumption $uantities for the
components "hen exploding the 'ills of material during M-P. If you have entered deviation$uantities for specific grid values the system "ill use these.
For the fall season you plan the production of #eans in si(es& inseam *:+) and +* and "aist *: *; +) and +%. You procure the undyed tailored
#eans fa'ric in the corresponding si(es from your external vendor. 3he
fa'ric is dyed and se"n during the production activity.
You stored a t"odimensional grid for the #eans "ith the dimensionsinseam and "aist. 0ue to the prefa'ricated cut the #eans fa'ric also hasa t"odimensional grid that contains the dimensions inseam and "aist.3he system automatically assigns the #eans fa'ric to the #eans in thecorresponding si(es and "idths.
3o automatically assign the grid values of the components to the gridvalues of the header material the grid of the header material mustcorrespond entirely or partially to the grid of the component. 3hat means
that the grid values of the header material must 'e contained in the gridof the component.
3o facilitate the data maintenance "e recommend that you use theautomatic grid value assignment for as many materials as possi'le.

Manual Grid Value Assignment
Features
If the component has a different grid than the header material you must manually assign the grid
values of the components to the grid values of the header material in the 'ill of material.
You carry out the assignment of the grid values of a component to the grid values of a headermaterial in a grid that contains the com'ination of all grid values of the component and the headermaterial. 3hen you manually assign the consumption $uantities for each individual grid value ofthe component to the grid values of the header material. 3hese may differ from each other 1see0eviation 7uantities and 8ero 7uantities2.
>.3he (ippers in si(es >= >: and 6) are used for the larger #ac!ets.
For the s!i #ac!et you stored a t"odimensional grid "ith the dimensionssi(e and color. 3he grid of the (ipper is onedimensional and contains thespecific si(es of the (ipper. 3he system creates a grid in "hich you cansee the colors and si(es of the s!i #ac!et on the one side and on theother side you can see the si(es of the (ipper. /ere you enter theconsumption $uantities for the (ipper per si(e5color of the s!i #ac!et.
If the header material and the component have different grids you mustmanually assign the grid values of the header material and the gridvalues of the component to each other. If that is not the case the systemcannot find the 'ill of material for the header material during the furtherlogistical process.

3he $uantity distri'ution profile facilitates the data maintenance in the 'ill of material. It is used as

If you "ant to carry out a mass data change for AFS ills of materials you must use thefunction Quantity Distribution rofile. 3he $uantities at SC level are calculated as descri'ed inthe document7uantity 0istri'ution Profile.
9ote that the mass data change is controlled depending on the o'#ecttype. 3hat means that the mass data change "ith a $uantity distri'utionprofile is only significant for the o'#ect type material and therefore formaterial BOMs.

You can transfer all of the data for planning from an info structure to AFS demand managementacross plants materials product groups and periods or you can limit the transfer to any of thesefactors. AFS supports the data transfer 'oth from the standard SOP and from Flexi'le Planning'y using all the planning types 1such as consistent planning or level'ylevel planning2. You canalso copy data to different versions of planned independent re$uirements.
You can use the "et valid valuesfunction on the 'asis of an info structure and a version to selectthe re$uirements to 'e transferred. You can then narro" do"n the selection of data to specificperiods product groups and so on.

Material Staging for Components
Use
ou use this function to transport *arehouse3managed components used in production
from the *arehouse to the production supply areas.
4ntegration
The system generates atransfer requirement(T#$ in the +arehouse "anagement (+"$
system. +" is then responsible for staging the required materials by creating a transfer
order from the transfer requirements.
In an SAP AFS system material staging triggers automatic creation of 'atchassignments 'ut only for AFS components in the production order. 3his is re$uiredto !eep the stoc! situation up to date if there is competition for component stoc!from other production orders 1"ith manual 'atch assignments2 or from the Allocation-un.

3he staging $uantity for an AFS "arehousemanaged component is limited 'y the $uantitythat is still availa'le for the creation of 'atch assignments that is the unreserved $uantityof the 'atch.

0uring material staging if there are multiple valid 'atches at SC level for an AFScomponent the system chooses the 'atch "ith the largest unreserved $uantity forstaging. 3hen it chooses the next largest 'atch and so on and creates the 'atchassignments accordingly.

ou confirm AFS materials in the SA& standard application. ou can carry out the
confirmation for a production order (@!B$ or for an operation (@! or @!7$.
1. For an order confirmation 2C.,@3 all SCs for a production order are
