SAP BUSINESS ONE - MATERIALS REQUIREMENTS PLANNING (MRP)
SAP Business One offers a simple yet powerful
planning system that helps production planners or
buyers schedule and manage items for production
or purchasing based on a variety of criteria
Define forecasts
This feature allows users to predict demand based
on forecasts, instead of relying solely on received
orders. Forecast calculations help users foresee
future demand for the product and adjust material
planning accordingly. These demand forecasts can
be used in the MRP wizard.
Planning wizard
The planning wizard takes users through the process
of creating planning scenarios in five easy steps.
Users define the planning horizon, which can be
viewed in weeks or days. They can also opt to
exclude non-working days from the production and
purchase planning. Scenarios can be run for a range
of items or item groups. The user selects the desired
criteria in the scenario, such as existing stock levels,
open purchase orders, sales orders, work orders,
and stock that has reached its minimum level, as well
as pre-defined sales forecasts.

Once a scenario is executed, the solution presents
a recommendation to 'make' or 'buy' items in a
recommendation report. Numerous drill-down options
are available to allow planners to view the net
requirement calculations and view the actual
documents driving the gross requirements. Exception
warnings and visual queries are also available. These
help users identify orders that need to be expedited.
Planning scenarios can also be saved as 'simulations'
- users can run a series of 'what if?' scenarios
without impacting the recommendation report.
Order recommendation report
From the recommendation report, planners can
automatically select recommended production orders
and purchase orders for automatic creation. If an item
needs to be outsourced, the system allows planners
to easily convert a production order to a purchase
order. Purchase orders to the same supplier can be
optionally consolidated into one order, streamlining
the purchasing process.
