System ➔ Checks ➔ MRP calculation
This document provides you the steps to rectifying inconsistencies in MRP (Materials Requirements Planning).
The MRP calculation function compares the MRP data with that of the transaction data. If inconsistencies are found, this function rebuilds the missing data and corrects it in the MRP table. This is useful when data corruption occurs and a user wants to recalculate the MRP.
Via the menu path, the transaction types to be included in the MRP checking can be specified, such as the purchase orders, sales orders, quotations, hour entries, and order planning. The delivery dates of all open orders can also be modified.
