Module documentation details

MRP detailed documentation

This page mirrors the full documentation breakdown so users can understand the module here and in the dedicated docs route.

Exact functionalities

Demand consolidation, net requirements calculation, shortage signaling, replenishment suggestion generation, and planner exception management.

  • Material requirement planning
  • Shortage visibility
  • Supply and replenishment logic
  • Demand-driven planning support
  • Operational planning flow

Workflow blueprint

Ingest demand -> net against stock and lead times -> produce planned supply orders -> review exceptions -> release actions -> replan on changes.

  1. Capture MRP transaction input and context
  2. Validate permissions and business policy
  3. Commit lifecycle transition with audit metadata
  4. Propagate updates to dependent modules
  5. Review exceptions and close operational cycle

Data model and records

DemandSignal, MaterialRequirement, SupplyPlan, PlannedOrder, ShortageAlert, and ReplenishmentPolicy.

  • DemandSignal
  • MaterialRequirement
  • SupplyPlan
  • PlannedOrder
  • ShortageAlert
  • and ReplenishmentPolicy

Controls and business rules

Lot sizing and min-max constraints should be enforced; planners should distinguish hard shortages from policy-driven shortages; replanning should preserve decision history.

Define explicit and valid status transitions for MRP

Require mandatory fields before high-impact actions

Block unauthorized overrides without approval evidence

Preserve immutable audit history on critical events

Apply idempotency and duplicate protection on write paths

Integrations

Uses Inventory and Warehouse balance state, feeds Procurement purchasing proposals, and supports Manufacturing production readiness.

Operational workflow

Use this lifecycle sequence as the baseline for SOP documentation and team onboarding.

  1. Capture MRP transaction input and context
  2. Validate permissions and business policy
  3. Commit lifecycle transition with audit metadata

Controls and validation checklist

Define explicit and valid status transitions for MRP

Require mandatory fields before high-impact actions

Block unauthorized overrides without approval evidence

Preserve immutable audit history on critical events

Apply idempotency and duplicate protection on write paths

Failure modes and safeguards

  • Missing required data at transaction entry
  • Unauthorized status transition attempts
  • Cross-module reference mismatch after updates
  • Duplicate mutation attempts from retries
  • Delayed downstream synchronization and stale dashboards

Implementation and rollout plan

  1. Define owner, scope, and process objective
  2. Configure lifecycle, permissions, and defaults
  3. Run pilot workflows including edge cases
  4. Validate KPI outputs and integration behavior
  5. Train users and publish SOP guidance
  6. Execute staged go-live with checkpoint review

Test scenarios before go-live
