MRP Time Series

The Time Series - MRP inquiry is the same program as that used to inquire on the DRP/MPS time series. Use the appropriate version of the MPS Time Series program to review the item series for the material requirements plan. You can vary the settings in the processing options to accommodate the different requirements for MRP.

Use the MPS/MRP/DRP Key Window program (P34KEY) to review the quantity types that are generated for the material requirements plan. This table describes the quantity types:
