In a manufacturing plant, a person will be identified and will be responsible for a group of materials. Material that takes part in material requirements planning must be assigned to an MRP controller.
MRP will guarantee material availability and once you run MRP, it will be helpful in planning as to whether what quantity a component should be procured or what quantity should be produced in-house. Through MRP, you can automate procurement proposals for purchase and production.
MRP can be planned at [Plant level or for different MRP areas] If MRP is planned at plant level, SAP adds together stocks from all storage locations excluding customer stock, to determine total plant stock.
If MRP is planned at MRP area level, stocks from storage locations assigned to the respective MRP area are taken into account.
MRP Groups are created in OPPR and assigned in material master MRP1 view.
