Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
Prerequisites
Since materials are planned at plant level, you must specify a plant in the Organizational Levels dialog box to access the MRP screen.
If you want to enter data specific to a storage location, you must also specify the storage location concerned. You must specify a storage location if you want a material to be included in storage location MRP. Storage locations are considered as independent units for MRP purposes.
If you want to create MRP data using a profile, you must specify an MRP profile in the Organizational Levels dialog box. For more information, see
