Dear,

It depend upon the business process to determine the frequency of MRP run. So as per your requirement you can set the frequency.

Hi,

Normally MRP run will happen daily in background mode by tcode MDBT.

MRP run will change depends on company applications.

Replinishment lead time of the product or assembly is the general factor will have to considere while deciding MRP run.
