PLANNING 202 · CALCULATE

Material Requirements Planning calculates what supply is needed, in what quantity, and by when.

MRP nets stock, receipts, reservations, sales demand, forecasts, safety stock, lead times, and lot-sizing rules to create proposals and exception messages.

How SAP controls it

MRP type, controller, lot size, procurement type, planning time fence, safety stock, lead times, and scope of planning drive the result.

Example

Demand for 500 finished units creates planned orders for assembly and dependent requirements for components.
