What is Material Requirements Planning (MRP)?
Planning that calculates net requirements and creates planned orders or requisitions to cover demand on time.
MRP considers stock, open orders, and safety stock per material and plant according to the MRP type. Results appear in the stock/requirements list. MRP results must be validated with planners before go-live.
