Whats SAP MRP?

Original : SAP Swrod:What's SAP MRP?


What is SAP MRP - Material Requirement Planning Overview
 物料需求计划概览

Material Requirement Planning (SAP MRP) is a tool which helps in planning the requirement quantities and schedules of a given material. Thus guaranteeing material availability, for the material on which you are carrying out MRP on, and also guaranteeing availability of the components of all the BOM levels below.
 物料需求计划是帮助进行物料计划及需求数量的一项工具。其作用在于保证物料及BOM各层次的相关组件需要时可用。

Apart from assuring material availability, Material Requirement planning (MRP) also carries out scheduling of the procurement proposals using the lead times for the materials/components. When the material is an internally manufactured material, it will use the lead times or operation lead times from the routings/recipes and when the material is an external procured material, it will fetch the lead times or delivery times for the material defined at an appropriate place in the tool/system. Scheduling of the procurement proposals not only derives the capacity loading of the orders on the workcenter but it also calculates the delivery dates of the components that would be requried for manufacturing (delivery date = start date of processing).
 除了保证物料可用外,MRP也通过前置时间的方法对物料、组件进行获取建议的计划。当物料是内部加工件时,它使用前置时间(物料主数据中设置的)或是工艺路线/配方中的工序前置时间来计划,而当物料从外部获取时,它使用前置时间或为物料定义的交货时间来计划。获取建议不仅参考订单的能力负荷,也会考虑加工所需的组件的交货日期(交货日期=开始处理日期)

The output of MRP proposes procurement proposals (planned order or purchase requests) so as to gaurantee material availability and at the same time schedule the procurement proposals using delivery lead times for the materials/components. Material requirement Planning can be run for purchased materials or finished saleable materials or subassemblies (semi-finished) used in production.

MRP建议获取建议(计划订单或采购申请)来保证物料可用,同时使用交货提前期来计划获取建议。MRP可对于采购件和最终销售件或组装件运行。

While the Material Requirement Planning in SAP ECC (SAP MRP), derives a plan for the materials and helps the planners and supervisors to purchase, produce or sell. It offers all the possible planning methods available in the market like the reorder point planning for the consumption based planned materials, lot for lot MRP planning for the demand based planning materials, forecast based planning methods which uses the past historical figures to extrapolate the future requirements (again a consumption based planning material).


SAP material requirement planning or SAP MRP, uses the following factors in its planing run:


a) planning strategies  - made to order or made to stock or its variations

b) planning types - type of the MRP run, i.e., consumption based planning methods or demand based planning methods and net requirement planing or gross requirement planning

c) lot sizing procedures set for the material

d) master data such as BOM or Routings/Recipes, quota arrangements, souce list, vendors, purchase info records. customer masters etc, and transaction data such as sales orders, forecast, planned independent demands (forecasted demand)
