     Requirements Planning
    
    Overview: 
    CO21 is a transaction code used in SAP Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) to create orders for materials. It is used to create purchase orders, production orders, and other types of orders for materials. 
    
    Functionality: 
    CO21 allows users to create orders for materials based on the MRP requirements. It also allows users to view the current stock levels of materials and adjust the order quantities accordingly. Additionally, it allows users to view the planned delivery dates of the materials and adjust the order dates accordingly. 
    
    Step-by-step How to Use: 
    1. Enter the transaction code CO21 in the command field. 
    2. Select the material for which you want to create an order. 
    3. Enter the quantity of material that you want to order. 
    4. Select the type of order that you want to create (e.g., purchase order, production order). 
    5. Enter the planned delivery date for the material. 
    6. Confirm your order by clicking “Save” or “Enter”. 
    
    Other Recommendations: 
    It is recommended that users check the current stock levels of materials before creating an order in CO21, as this will help them determine if they need to adjust the order quantity or delivery date accordingly. Additionally, users should ensure that they have sufficient authorization to create orders in CO21 before proceeding with their order creation process.
