Setting Up Basic Data for Material Requirements Planning

This step is optional.

Material requirements planning totals the demand for all parts. The calculation is based on the existing inventory balance, shop orders, customer orders, and purchase orders. Planning methods control the planning data that must be enter for a part.

The information entered in this step is used throughout IFS/Material Requirements Planning.

Note: You should verify the customer order related system parameters in the Parameters for Distribution and manufacturing window. This window is where the basic MRP settings are determined and the balance of these fields effect MRP.

Note: Verify that the correct MRP setting are completed for the inventory parts in the inventory part record.

Note: Material Requirement Planning will not see either demand or supply for externally owned stocks. i.e. Only Company Owned Stock will be considered
