Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

• Explode all assembly schedules into component requirements
• Consume the forecast with actual orders as they are received
• The master production schedule (MPS) allows you to control production of key end items to help you protect your schedule from fluctuations in order-based demand (forecasts, customer orders, parent job orders, etc.). MPS is a manually created, anticipated build schedule for an item. You create it based on your expectations of demand and your estimation of resource capacity.
• Material Planning Workbench for automatic creation of Purchase Orders, Jobs, or Transfer Orders
• Run MRP for all sites or individual sites
• Define a source per part – Manufactured, Purchased, or Transferred to define sourcing by site.
• Available To Promise
• View Exception messages when exceptions occur such as on-hand quantity drops below safety stock, or when a planned receipt is no longer needed (or needs to be moved in or out in time)
• Use the Order Action Report to determine the job orders and purchase orders you must generate and release for a given item to be available when needed
• Replicate MRP planned transfer orders to the supply sites in your multi-site environment
• Peg each supply against demand using the Pegging Display form
