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.
