After you run MRP Regeneration or MRP Net Change, use the Order Processing batch program to process multiple work orders. The system:

  • Attaches the parts list

  • Attaches the routing instructions

  • Sets an initial order status

  • Generates the shop packet, including:

    • Parts list

    • Routing instructions

    • Shop packet summary

    • Component shortages

The program that you use to process orders for MRP is the same program that you use to process orders for Distribution Requirements Planning, Master Production Schedule, and Rough Cut Capacity Display.
