PRP Output

After running the MRP/MPS Requirements Planning program successfully for a project, you can review output information in the system.

The Quantity Type UDC table (34/QT) contains these quantity types that are specific to project supply and demand:

Quantity Type	Description	Unadjusted/Adjusted
+BAPU	Project Beginning Balance Unadjusted	Unadjusted
+POPU	Project Purchase Orders	Unadjusted
+WOPU	Project Work Order	Unadjusted
-FWOPU	Project Firm Work Order	Unadjusted
+BAP	Project Beginning Balance	Adjusted
+IRP	Project Receipt Routing	Adjusted
+POP	Project Purchase Orders	Adjusted
+WOP	Project Work Order	Adjusted
-PWD	Project Work Order Demand	Adjusted
-FWOP	Project Firm Work Order	Adjusted
-PWOP	Project Plan Work Order	Adjusted
-SOP	Project Sales Order	Adjusted

Planning messages for project-specific subassemblies and components include the project number and parent work order information. Use the project number to filter project-specific planning messages in the Message Summary (P3401) and MRP/MPS Detail Message Revisions (P3411) programs. Work orders and purchase orders that are created from planning messages contain the project number.

When creating pegging records, PRP stores the project number in the MPS/MRP/DRP Lower Level Requirements table (F3412) to indicate the origination of the requirements resulting from the project. Orders that are pegged to the project are used only for the given project.

The MPS/MRP/DRP Summary table (F3413) does not contain the project number, but project specific quantity types are used by PRP to calculate and display project-specific quantities.

Use the MRP/MPS Detail Message Revisions program (P3411) to review the messages that the system generated. The time series uses quantity type IDP (Project Interplant Demand) to display project demand that a supply branch meets. You review this information in the MPS Time Series program (P3413).

After you generate replenishment order messages for project-specific items, you continue the process by reviewing the messages and processing them into transfer orders if the supply branch/plant for the order item is different from the demand branch/plant.

When you review messages in the MRP/MPS Detail Message Revisions program (P3411), you can filter the display by project number, in addition to the other filter options, which enables you to work only with order messages that pertain to a particular project. You can use this program to modify a message or respond to it by creating a transfer order.

The Supply and Demand Inquiry program (P4021) has additional grid columns to display the project demand and supply. You must set the processing option to enable PRP display. Use the Supply and Demand Inquiry program (P4021) to determine the current state of the inventory for the project. Project supply and demand, including replenishment transfer orders, appears separately on the Work With Supply and Demand form. Project supply can be used only to meet project demand. In turn, project demand uses up project supply before it uses general supply that is not dedicated to a particular project.
