Kinaxis RapidResponse Author KX3-003 Question # 16 Topic 2 Discussion

In the WhereConsumed table, the PegPart represents the item driving the need for the component. In this case, the independent demand for AAA requires components BBB and DDD to be produced. The DriverPart is the direct parent in the Bill of Material (BOM) for DDD, which is BBB. The NeedQuantity is calculated by multiplying the demand for AAA by the quantity per of BBB (100 units * 4) and then by the quantity per of DDD (400 units * 4), resulting in a NeedQuantity of 1600 for DDD.

ReferencesThis answer follows the logic of BOM explosion and the principles of MRP (Material Requirements Planning) that can be found in the Kinaxis RapidResponse documentation, which outlines how to calculate the required quantities of each item in the BOM based on the independent demand.
