Project Requirements Planning (PRP)

PRP is an option within the MRP/MPS Requirements Planning program (R3482) that you use to generate replenishment schedules for production orders and components for an end item that are used in a project.

PRP recognizes the shippable items from the project as the supply of the end item and uses this supply to drive the demand for its components. Thus, the project supplies its own demand.

The system generates dependent demand by using the bill of material (BOM) structure or the work order parts list that is associated with the end items. Inventory that is acquired either by purchase order receipts or work order completions for these project-specific items should be used only for meeting the project's demand.

The system regards the project demand and supply as standalone or independent so that any additional demand or supply from forecasts, sales orders, work orders, or purchase orders on the end item does not interfere with the requirement from the project.
