Hello Katherine

MRP elements can be each object that is relevant to MRP, such as sales orders, production orders, reservations, purchase orders, etc...

MRP element data is a field in transaction MD04 and the information may vary, depending on the element being displayed. Check the F1 Help information below:

MRP element data which has different meanings depending on the MRP element.
In the first column you always find the:
- number of the MRP element
- number of the MRP segment
- forecast period for forecast requirements
- requirements type for planned independent requirements
- material number of the pegged material for the dependent requirement, and so on

Depending on the MRP element or the situation you find the following in the second column:
- the MRP element item or
(in the case of an individual customer segment also the delivery schedule number)
- the order or purchase order type
(if necessary with the fixed requisition indicator *)
