MRP Display

Form ID: (AM400000)

On this form, you can view the list of planned orders that the system generated during the last time material requirements planning was executed on the Regenerate MRP (AM505000) form.

You can create a purchase order, transfer order, or production orders based on any number of planned orders by using this form. To do this, in the table you select the Included check box for each planned order that you want to include and click the appropriate button on the form toolbar. You can create an order regardless of the replenishment source specified in each included planned order.

If consolidation settings are specified on the MRP Preferences (AM100000) form, the system consolidates items from multiple demand documents (such as sales orders) into one planned order. For more information, see MRP Configuration: System Settings.
