Hi Sanjay,

Referring to your 3rd & 4th questions:

The MRP types (viz. reorder point planning, forecast based, time phased plng, or storage location MRP) are all used to derive procurement proposals based on your requirements as per demend planning. eg. redorder pt planning you use when you wish to plan for the material when the stock value of it reached to a defined reorder point (defined in material master), storage loc MRP generally done in REM scenario when the MRP is run on the storage location level excluding the stocks at other warehouses in the plant.

The reservations can be created against dependent requirements of the components when production order is created for the finished product.
