Study MRP Part Information
Explanation
This activity is used to study information about an inventory part which was planned by
material requirement planning (MRP) or project material requirement planning (project MRP).
- Expected receipts and deliveries of the part
- Existing material/gross requirements
- Planned and proposed receipts from MRP and project MRP
- Material transfer requisitions (MTR) created by multiproject material
requirements planning multiproject MRP)
- Gross requirements for the part calculated by MRP and project MRP (the requirements when MRP or
project MRP
considers only receipts and deliveries, not the quantity on hand)
- Material transfer requisitions (MTR) in the Planned, Released, or Partially Approved
statuses and which do not have a valid source to supply.
The Exclude check box will be selected to indicate these records were excluded from the
project MRP calculation. This will be valid for MTRs
with the Inventory supply type
- The shop order or production schedule (MRP only) that generated the demand; if the part is a component, the parent part is displayed
Prerequisites
- The selected inventory part should be set to be planned by MRP or project MRP by performing
site MRP, network MRP, selective MRP or performing project MRP for activity, project or
planning netting groups.
- Even though parts that are set to be planned by IFS/Master Scheduling or project
master scheduling are
not displayed, if you need to plan the actual demand of those parts by MRP or
project MRP,
then it is required to select the Create S/P from MRP value for the Create S/P Req
option in the MS Level 1 Part or Project MS Part
window and run MRP or project MRP after that.

regarding the selected part.
- Click the
Receipts and Deliveries tab to view expected
receipts and deliveries.
- Click the
Gross Requirements
tab to view gross
requirements for the part calculated by MRP or project MRP. The icon showing
the component in the navigator will indicate whether the part is planned
using MRP, project MRP or any other planning method.
- Expand the part structure tree view and click on a desired part to move between different structure items.
- Right-click in the header and then click the relevant option to open the Material Plan Multi-Site,
Inventory Part Availability Planning,
and Material Plan Graph
windows.
- Right-click on any part in the part structure and select Populate this part in Master. This will populate the selected child part in current
MRP Part Information
window. To navigate back to the previously viewed part, right click and
select Populate Original on the header.
- Right-click on a part and select Negative Projected On Hand,
Late Order Components, Early Order Components, or Remove Order
Components to mark alerts based on apparent material supply problems
detected by the most recent MRP run.
- Click the Gross Requirements tab to
study the gross demand for the part calculated by MRP. Select a row,
right-click and click Supply/Demand details for more information.
- Click the Bottom up Planning tab to view
the downstream items which use the parts in the header. Repeat steps 6-9 to
execute similar action on bottom up planning part navigator.
- Click the Gross Requirement By Template tab to view the gross requirement for the part
according to the given template
Select a row, right-click and select Recalculate Period Template to recalculate the template with
a different template start date and desired calendar to view the gross requirement according to that recalculated template.
- Click the Action Proposals tab to view MRP or
project MRP action messages generated for the part. You can perform follow up actions using the right-click options available in action messages.
- The Pegged Supply
tab will be enabled only if the part is project MRP planned.
Click this tab to study pegged supplies for the part within the selected activity. Supplies such as
inventory, open order, or MRP receipt are pegged to demands.
- The Created MTR tab will be
enabled only if the part is project MRP planned. During multiproject MRP, material
transfer requisitions (MTR) are generated to transfer parts between activities (if needed). This tab is used to study all the MTRs created for the part and activity.
Note: To open the
