• Key Concepts: 
  Material Requirements Planning (MRP) Run is a process in SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) that helps to match supply and demand. It is used to plan and manage the procurement of materials and components needed for production. The MRP Run takes into account the current stock levels, planned orders, and forecasted demand to determine the optimal order quantity and timing for each material or component. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The MRP Run is triggered by a user-defined schedule or manually by the user. Once triggered, the system will analyze the current stock levels, planned orders, and forecasted demand to determine the optimal order quantity and timing for each material or component. The system will then generate purchase orders or production orders based on the results of the MRP Run. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all relevant data is up-to-date before running an MRP Run. This includes stock levels, planned orders, forecasted demand, and any other relevant data that may affect the results of the MRP Run. Additionally, it is important to review the results of the MRP Run before generating purchase orders or production orders.
