Stock/Requirement Situation
There are two standard analyses that the user can execute for the stock/requirements
situation: Current Situation, Transaction MCBZ; and Long-term Planning,
Transaction MCB.
Current Situation
This standard analysis is used to review the current stock and requirements
data from the MRP data. This standard analysis lets the user choose where
the information for the analysis is derived from. In Figure 3.22, the selection
criterion for the Transaction MCBZ is shown. The transaction has the option
to allow data on an ad-hoc basis, which means directly for the current MRP
run or from the information structure S094. In Figure 3.22, the Ad-hoc evaluation
indicator must be set for the data to be taken from the current MRP
data. If the indicator is not set, then the information structure is used.
However, to update the information structure S094 with the correct data, a
program must first be executed. This program is called RMCBDISP, which
can be executed via Transaction SE38.
The Transaction MCBZ can be reached by using the navigation path: SAP
Menu -> Logistics -> Logistics Controlling -> Logistics Information System -> Standard
Analyses -> Stocks -> Current Requirement/Stock.

Long-term Planning
The long-term planning standard analysis is based either on the data from
the latest MRP run or the information structure S094. This transaction uses
the Ad-hoc evaluation indicator in the same manner as the Current Requirements
standard analysis.
The long-term planning standard analysis also uses a planning scenario, as
shown in Figure 3.23. The planning scenario is used to determine the control
parameters for long-term planning. These parameters include the plant used
in long-term planning, the planning period, and the requirements versions
to be planned.
The Transaction MCB can be reached by using the navigation path: SAP
Menu -> Logistics -> Logistics Controlling -> Inventory Controlling -> Standard
Analyses -> Stock/Requirement -> Long-term Planning.

Material Usage

The material usage standard analysis is important for production staff as the
results of this show if the correct number of materials was issued for the
requirements. It is also useful to see what components were used in the production
of a certain material. This standard analysis uses the data from the
information structure S026.
Figure 3.31 shows the selection criteria for the standard analysis, Transaction
MCRE, and can be reached by using the navigation path: SAP Menu -> Logistics
-> Logistics Controlling -> Logistics Information System -> Standard Analyses
-> Production -> Material Usage.

The results of the material usage standard analysis, as shown in Figure 3.32,
allow the production staff to review the requirements and the withdrawal of
materials to monitor production validity.

Product Costs

The product costs standard analysis reviews the data in the information
structure, S027. The analysis allows the costing department to review the
material costs using the selection criteria of plant, material, or production
order.
Figure 3.33 shows the selection criteria for the product costs standard analysis,
Transaction MCRI, and can be reached by using the navigation path: SAP
Menu -> Logistics -> Logistics Controlling -> Logistics Information System -> Standard
Analyses -> Production -> Product Costs.

The result of the analysis is shown in Figure 3.34. The three fields that are
displayed in Figure 3.34 are:
* Value COCurr
Total fixed and variable values for material components or activities in
controlling area currency
* FixVal COCurr
Value of the components or activity quantity that is valuated with the
fixed price in controlling area currency
* Val(var)/COAC
Value of the components or activity quantity in controlling area currency
