Menu paths

Introduction

In this screen, you can obtain an overview of Material Requirements Planning (MRP) by items, resources, projects, suppliers, orders, or customers. The overview provides information of incoming and outgoing material requirements and also displays the main items, which are derived from various requirements such as sales, purchases, productions, forecasts (MPS), internal use requests, interbranch transfer requests, quotations, and reservations. From this overview, you can plan production orders, make purchases of requirements, plan your delivery dates of production and sales, and also enter sales orders for your forecast requirements. This overview also provides you with the function to export the information to a Microsoft Excel sheet where you can directly access the information of the selected item requirements such as the financial transactions, item maintenance card, where-used, and also requirement details.
