Perform Planning Network MRP

Explanation

This activity is used to calculate the supply and demand for MRP (Material Requirement Planning) parts (including multi-site planned parts) based on shop orders, customer orders, etc, for a particular planning network. Parts that are sourced from an internal supply site in the planning network will be a multi-site planned part. (It can be supplied externally as well.) Once the multi-site product structure's sourcing rules are defined, multi-site planning can be performed. The multi-site product structures are defined regardless of the planning networks. The system creates MRP planned orders for fulfilling demands, such as purchase or shop order requisitions. The system also offers suggestions on planning orders for optimal manufacturing considering material availability. MRP generates the distribution orders for the demands on the sites in the planning network. Manufactured and acquired split data in the Inventory Part Planning Data page will be considered when creating the supplies by MRP. 

Only the sites to which the users have access, can be added or removed from a planning network. A planning manager will enter planning network information into the system. Planners and managers can review this information.

Prerequisites

Note: MRP does not process parts with planning methods B - Order Point Planning, C - Replenishment Level, M - Manufacturing Cell Part; or N - Next Level Demand.
