Material requirements planning (MRP)

Review demand and supply, then deliberately turn suitable planning suggestions into documents.

Step by step

1. 1Open Production → MRP Planning. The owner enables MRP and sets the planning horizon and optional scheduled-run settings.
2. 2Review product planning policies and add forecasts only where you want forecast demand included.
3. 3Start a planning run for the intended scope. Wait for it to finish and review the demand sources, available supply, dates and suggested quantities.
4. 4Review commitments and shortages carefully. Allocations represent other commitments; an invoice or bill is not necessarily a physical stock fulfilment.
5. 5Edit or reject suggestions where appropriate. Firm only those suggestions you intend to turn into the supported planning documents.
6. 6Review generated requisitions and submit them through their available approval process. Monitor actual receipt and production progress separately.
