What happens to a dependent requirement when a planned order is converted into a production order?

When a planned order is converted into a production order, any dependent requirements associated with that planned order are transferred into a reservation for the components needed for that production order. This process ensures that the needed materials are allocated and reserved in the system for production, preventing them from being used elsewhere and ensuring their availability when the production order is executed.

Dependent requirements arise from the requirements of the end product and are linked to the components needed to manufacture that product. When the planned order is converted into a production order, the system acknowledges the demand for those components and creates reservations. This ensures that the production process can proceed smoothly with the necessary materials secured in advance.

By creating a reservation, the system also helps maintain inventory accuracy and control, as it effectively earmarks the components needed for production, showing that they are not available for other orders until the production order is completed or the reservation is released.
