  Key Concepts: 
  MRP type is a term used in SAP's IBP Demand Driven Planning (DDP) component. It is used to define the type of material requirements planning (MRP) that will be used for a particular item. MRP type determines the way in which the system calculates the material requirements for an item. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use MRP type, you must first define the item in the system. Once the item is defined, you can select an MRP type from the list of available types. The available types are dependent on the item's characteristics and can include options such as net change planning, time-phased planning, and lot-for-lot planning. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When selecting an MRP type for an item, it is important to consider how often the item is used and how quickly it needs to be replenished. This will help you determine which type of MRP will be most effective for that particular item.
