What it's for
MRP turns the forecast and the bills of materials into planned orders week by week, netting out what you already have and what is on the way.

Planning grid
Every product week by week: gross and net requirements and planned order releases, in units or money. Filter by supplier or category and click a row to see its full MRP record.
Example: 126 products short
Acme's latest run shows 126 products with net requirements and US$ 284k of planned orders: that's procurement's work list.
Tips
- Turn on "Only with net requirements" to see only what needs ordering.
