What is MRP?

Material Requirements Planning

Material planning strategy to make sure the

customer gets what they want, when they want it,

while optimizing stock levels.

Relies heavily on material master setup accuracy

for planned materials.

Evaluates entire stock situation to determine what

needs to be procured/produced and when (stock,

orders, safety stock, lot size, etc…)

Purpose of MRP Views

MRP 1

If material is planned and parameters to control the

planning.

MRP 2

Supports master production schedule (MPS) planning.

MRP 3

Supports forecasting.

MRP 4

Supports production materials

Materials listed as BOM

Materials defined as dependent requirements


MRP 1

5

Field Description

Base unit of measure From Basic Data 1 view

MRP group There are settings for each group and it is used when

there needs to be addition planning division within a

plant. MRP uses settings in the material master and in

the MRP group.

Purchasing group From Purchasing view (Buyer code)

cycle counting.

when the material’s stock falls below the reorder point qty.

Planning time

fence

to the master plan.

Planning cycle Key for determining on which day the material will be

planned and ordered. Sometimes matches suppliers

delivery dates. MRP type should be time phased planning

type.

checkbox

MRP areas allow the material to be planned differently

in a single plant. Each MRP area has its own planning

parameters that are used when MRP is run for each

MRP area.

Section: MRP areas


MRP 2

9

Field Description

process the material different than procurement type

defines. (Ex: consignment)

Issue stor.

location

Storage location out of which production component is

backflushed or production material is received into.

Quota arr. usage From Purchasing view. Determines which material orders

are included in the quota calculation which determines

supply source and when.

EP

Storage location for external procurement. Storage location

proposed in the planned order for material receipt.

JIT delivery

sched.

From Purchasing view. Gets copied into purchasing

schedule agreements. Enables precise delivery details.

Stock det. grp Criteria for determining where stock will be withdrawn.

Co-product

checkbox

Identifies material as included with others to make final

product (Ex: Petroleum) Click Joint production button to

assign the cost proportion to the material.

Bulk material

checkbox

Items typically available at work center for production that

should not be included in planning. (Ex: grease, washers).

Causes dependent requirements for these materials to not

be displayed in stock req. list.

Section: Procurement (continued…)


MRP 2

11

Field Description

In-house production Work days needed to produce the material. Needed to

determine planned dates in planned orders.

Plnd delivery time Calendar days to received material from external

source. Should be average if multiple vendors used.

GR processing time Work days from receiving material into inspection, to

getting it into available stock.

Planning calendar Define periods for material planning

SchedMargin key Helps to determine float time in production. Used in

determining production dates.

Section: Scheduling


MRP 2

12

Field Description

Safety stock Required in-stock quantity to satisfy unexpected

demand in coverage period. Can be manually or

systematically maintained.

Service level (%) Specifies what portion of stock used for requirement.

Used to automatically calculate safety stock.

Min safety stock Lowest amount in safety stock. Cannot be exceeded.

Coverage profile Defines calculation for automatic safety stock

determination based on average daily requirements.

Safety time ind. Indicates if and how MRP requirements are brought

forward.

Safety time/act.cov. Safety time/actual coverage. MRP requirements are

brought forward by this many days.

STime period profile Used for seasonal fluctuations to define specific from/to

date ranges for safety time/actual coverage.

Section: Net requirements calculation


MRP 3

13

Field Description

Period indicator Which period is used for material consumption and

forecast values.

Fiscal year variant Defines the fiscal year.

Splitting indicator Used for forecast requirement splitting when MRP is

forecast-based and period indicator is not day.

Section: Forecast requirements


MRP 3

14

Field Description

material.

Follow-up matl Material number of a material that will be the

replacement during planning once material stocks are

depleted

parameters for planning.

Action control Defines the sequence of actions for the planned order

(explode BOM, check w/o BOM explosion…)

Fair share rule Invokes fair share logic for when demand exceeds

supply. ATD (available to deploy) is calculated and
