Follow these steps to run the MRP plan, which deletes the existing plan and recreates it using the latest requirements, receipts, and on-hand inventory information.
Navigate to the MRP Planning form.
You must have enabled MRP Mode before you can open this form.
NOTE: Run this activity only at times when no other users will be saving changes to records that are included in the plan. You can run it on a recurring basis by scheduling it on the Background Queue. For more information, see Scheduling Reports and Utilities to Run in the Background.
Select whether to regenerate the entire MRP plan for all items (Regeneration) or only for those items for which MRP requirements, receipts, or on-hand information has changed (Net Change).
To start the MRP Planning activity, click Plan.
The system displays the message: Task Submitted.
To find out if the process completed successfully, open the Background Task History form.
If the planning task appears in the list with a Return Status of 0 (Complete), the task completed successfully.
(Optional) When the process is finished, you can firm the new planned orders and view the exception messages using the Planning Detail form or the Material Planner Workbench.
