Material Requirements: Comparison of MRP List and Stock/Requirements List

Description

The MRP list displays the results of the last planning run. Changes that have occurred between planning runs are ignored in the MRP list.

Contrary to this logic, in the stock/requirements list, all current stock, receipt, and issue changes are displayed.

If you want to compare the MRP list with the stock/requirements list, you can do this using the compare functions. This means that you can compare the situation at the time of the last planning run with the current stock/requirement situation.

You can access the comparison from the following applications:

From the MRP list:
To do this, select Goto -> Compare stock/reqmts.

You then branch into the comparison of the 'Comparison of MRP List and Stock/Requirements List'.

In screen section 'Comparison', the systen displays the date on which the last planning run was carried out.

In the screen section, 'Period totals: MRP list' the system displays the planning result according to the period totals. The lines in which the data of the MRP list differ from the data in the stock/reqmts list are highlighted.

To branch into the totals display of the stock/requirements list, select the pushbutton, Display stock/reqmts.

If you only want a display of the differing quantities, that result from comparing the MRP list and the stock/requirements list, select the pushbutton Display differences.

To display the individual MRP elements for a totals line, position the cursor on the appropriate line and select the pushbutton Choose period . In the lower half of the screen, the system displays the the section, 'Date: All MRP elements'.
