Study MRP Parts

Explanation

Use this activity to review a summary of supply‑demand totals, key part‑planning attributes, and action proposals for MRP planned and Master Schedule planned parts.  This allows you to easily view and compare multiple planning scenarios in one place.

The page also displays system-generated badges that highlight important exceptions identified during material planning.

During an MRP calculation, key MRP action proposals for the MRP‑planned parts included in the calculation scope are evaluated. The following badges are updated when the corresponding condition exists:
 

Badge Corresponding MRP Action Proposal Description
Negative Projected On Hand Exists Negative Projected Onhand The part has a negative value at some point in the Projected On Hand.
Late Order Exists Late Order At least one supply order is planned to be received after the part’s due date, so MRP suggests rescheduling that order.
Early Order Exists Early Order At least one supply order is planned to be received before the part is required, so MRP suggests rescheduling that order.
Remove Order Exists Remove Order At least one supply order is not needed to meet demand, and MRP suggests cancelling that order.
Past Due Demand Exists Demand is Past Due At least one demand order has a due date that falls before the first period defined for the MRP.
Past Due Supply Exists Supply is Past Due At least one supply order has a due date that falls before the first period defined for the MRP.
Past MRP Planned Supply Exists Plan Supply Past Due At least one MRP‑planned supply proposal has a due date earlier than the MRP execution date.
Past MRP Planned Supply Start Date Exists Plan Supply Start Date is Past Due At least one MRP‑planned supply proposal is scheduled to start before the MRP execution date.

During MRP calculation, the selected Master Scheduling exception conditions for MS-planned parts are checked, and the corresponding badges on the page are updated.

Badge Corresponding Master Schedule Action Proposal
Past Due Demand Exists Actual demand is past due (late shipment)
Past Due Supply Exists Supply is past due
Negative Projected On Hand Exists Negative projected available
