MRP is the core function of ERP. By running MRP, you can look up specified parts or all parts’ demand to make a production and purchasing plan.
This function is used for checking a specified part material requirements plan. You need to input or pick part # and choose a part type. Also, indicate if you need to consider the part’s minimum quantity and include tolerance quantity. If you check minimum quantity, it will be calculated while generating the part’s material requirements plan. If you check the box to include tolerance quantity, it means that work order demand quantity will be calculated by the part tolerance percentage.
