• Key Concepts: 
  Required Variable Quantity (RVQ) is a feature in SAP SCM-Warehousing and Manufacturing Execution (SRD-SCM-WME) that allows users to define the exact quantity of a material that is required for a production order. This feature helps to ensure that the right amount of material is available for production, and that any excess material is not wasted. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the RVQ feature, users must first define the required quantity of a material in the production order. This can be done by entering the quantity in the “Required Quantity” field in the production order. Once this is done, the system will automatically calculate the required variable quantity based on the defined quantity. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using RVQ, it is important to remember that the system will only calculate the required variable quantity based on the defined quantity. If the defined quantity is incorrect, then the RVQ will also be incorrect. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the defined quantity is accurate before using RVQ.
