Use this activity to run an MRP Simulation using real-time supply and demand data from the system. You can execute this simulation for a site or a planning network. This method reflects the most current material positions, including inventory, customer orders, and purchase orders etc.
If Master Scheduling (MS) top-level parts are present, the simulation begins with the exploded demands to
MRP-planned parts, based on planned receipts already executed for MS level 1 parts within the selected Material
Planning Scenario. It then proceeds to perform MRP and MS calculations for all MRP- and/or MS-planned parts across
the bill of materials, either per site or across a planning network.
If you want to retrieve the latest demands and generate supply proposals for MS top-level parts, you must first
execute the Master Scheduling (MS) calculation for the selected Material Planning Scenario.
MRP Simulation job is posted as a background job and can either be started now or schedule for later execution.
As a result of this activity, an MRP simulation is executed using the latest live data. The simulation results closely mirror the current state of the system, without generating actual planning engine proposals.
