Net requirement					700
Planned order receipt					700
Planned order release				700

Week 2:

There is a scheduled receipt of 200 which can be used as inventory.

Week 5:

The gross requirement is 900 (1 assembly) derived from the planned order release of Electrical unit. The on hand inventory is 0. But, there is a scheduled receipt of 200. Hence, the net requirement is 7000. The lead time is 1 week. Therefore, the planned order release will be 700 in week 4 which will be the planned order receipt in week 5.
