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) or by IFS/Master Scheduling or project master scheduling.

• 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 or by IFS/Master Scheduling or project master scheduling.
• If you need to plan the actual demand of those parts that are set to be planned by IFS/Master Scheduling or project master scheduling 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.

Procedure

From the MRP Part Information window:

1. Search for the part for which you want to study the specified information.
2. Click the Details tab to view detailed information regarding the selected part.
3. Click the Receipts and Deliveries tab to view expected receipts and deliveries.
4. 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.   
5. Expand the part structure tree view and click on a desired part to move between different structure items.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Click the Bottom up Planning tab to view the downstream items which use the parts in the header. Repeat steps 7-9 to execute similar action on bottom up planning part navigator.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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 Multilevel Structures window, right-click in the header and then click Part Structure.
             To change period template, right-click and click the Select Period Template option.
