Functionality

For time interval [IV_START_TIME; IV_END_TIME], this function module provides all I/O nodes with theproperty specified in IV_IONODE_PEG_SEL for the planning objects or pegging areas specified using tableIT_PEGAREA. In R/3 terminology, this corresponds to a stock list/requirement list for the specified planning segments. You can use the parameter IV_ORDER_TYPE to restrict the selection of I/O nodes to an order type.

If you want to select output nodes according to their characteristics, you can specify characteristiccriteria for finding output nodes in IT_CHARACT_REQ_OUTNODE. Like the previous parameter, IT_CHARACT_VAL_INPNODE can be used to select input nodes according to their characteristics.

To determine the data, all input nodes in the pegging network which use a material from a given planningobject, and all output nodes that produce or procure material for this planning object, are read togetherand sorted by requirement time or availability time. I/O nodes for planned activities and orders are not taken into account.

You can also determine the characteristics of I/O nodes that are outputted for input nodes in table ET_CHARACT_REQ_INPNODE and for output nodes in table ET_CHARACT_VAL_OUTNODE.

Fixed pegging relationships between the individual I/O nodes are written to table ET_FIXPEG.

Data will only be read if the caller has specified an export table for it. The performance of this function module can be significantly improved if you choose not to fill all export tables.

If you want to decide dynamically which export tables to fill, the caller needs to specify all exporttables. The caller can then use import structure IS_EXCLUDE_EXPORTS to decide dynamically - in otherwords, during runtime - which export tables NOT to fill. For each non-relevant export table, the boolean flag has to be set to gc_true ('X').
