Need understanding regarding Consumption Based Planning (MRP)

57 Views

Hi SAP Gurus,

may anyone help regarding Consumption Based Planning (MRP), i have the following few questions:

1. May someone explain the difference between MRP run and net requirements calculation.

2. Is it possible to run MRP without setting up the planning file first or is the planning file a prerequisite for the different processing keys: NETCH, NETPL, and NEUPL to function properly.

3. May someone explain how different forecast models are used in the following RP Types:

u2022Manual reorder point planning

u2022Automatic reorder point planning

u2022Time-Phased planning

4. What is the difference between dependent requirements and independent requirements.

5. Will sales orders also included in the MRP RUN or in the net requirement calculation to determine the material requirements.

Your help will be much appreciated.

And lastly may anybody help me with the consumption based planning configuration documents.
