MRP Type 

Use

The MRP type controls whether or not an AFS material is planned and if so, how. AFS system provides specific procedures for this, some of which you already know from the SAP standard system.

Features

Since fashion trends constantly change, material requirements planning must be used for materials in the apparel and footwear industry.

The following MRP types are supported by AFS.

·        ND

·        PD

·        P1

·        P2

·        P3

AFS Restrictions

·        Dynamic MRP procedures are not supported by AFS.

·        Consumption-based MRP procedures are not supported by AFS.

However, you can plan SAP standard materials, such as material IDs or buttons that you use in the apparel and footwear industry, using the consumption–based MRP. SAP standard materials do not have different characteristic values. You should therefore measure the planning of requirements of these materials by their consumption.
