Settings and Control Parameters for MRP Live
Various settings and control parameters are available for MRP Live that you can define on the initial screen of the planning run. You use these parameters to determine how the planning run is to be executed and which results are to be produced. This initial screen for MRP Live has been designed to provide you with a far greater degree of flexibility for determining the scope of the planning run than is possible in the initial screens of the classic MPR runs. From this one screen, for example, you can plan one material or several materials in one plant or in several plants with or without planning the BOM components for either net change or regenerative planning. Or, you can also plan all the materials for which one MRP controller is responsible.
The initial screen is subdivided into three sections:
The section Planning Scope
contains the following fields:
Plant
Material
Product Group
MRP Controller
