Hello Priya ,

MRP enables the SAP system to plan material requirements for a manufacturing or procurement process.

Check the below link for more details :

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sbo2005asp1/helpdata/en/07/c51ac8c6724eb8adf1b342fcc4497d/frameset.htm

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) enables you to plan material requirements for a manufacturing or procurement process.

MRP calculates gross requirements for the highest Bill of Materials level based on sales orders and independent demands. It calculates gross requirements at the lowest Bill of Materials levels by carrying down net parent demands through the Bill of Materials structure. The dependent levels might have their own independent demands, such as sales orders and forecasts.

The results of the MRP run are recommendations that fulfill gross requirements by taking into consideration the existing stock levels and existing purchase and production orders. The MRP run also takes into account defined planning rules for Order Multiple, Order Interval, and Minimum Order Quantity.

Recommendations are back scheduled by the defined lead time to arrive at the requirement dates for their own components.

Thanks,

Greetson

Hi,

MRP is the planning tool in SAP which will look at all aspects of a material and is highly based upon the master data of the material. MRP looks at current inventory, current requirements, open purchase req/orders and so on. So if a material is required to satisfy a sales order and there is no inventory, MRP will create a planned order if the item is to be produced in house. This planned order can then be converted to a production order by the master scheduler. If the item is to be procured, then MRP will create a purchase req which the Buyer will convert to a purchase order. This is just one senario, the system is highly configurable and will do pretty much whatever you tell based on config and master data.
