SAP Capacity Planning in MPS and MRP guide

The task of material requirements planning is to guarantee material availability. The system calculates which materials must be procured or produced at what time and in what amounts so as to provide the quantities required.Using MPS you can carefully plan important parts or bottleneck parts in a separate planning run at the highest BOM level before the planning results have an effect on all of the production levels.Lead time scheduling and the calculation of capacity requirements in MRP and MPS provide the basis for the creation of a master plan that corresponds to capacity planning. This way the MRP controller obtains information about possible bottlenecks and overloads. Before the master plan becomes effective and the planning results affect subordinate BOM levels, the MRP controller can make changes that affect capacity for chosen materials.
