MRP Module
The MRP module helps manufacturers and operations teams align material planning with demand, production, and replenishment needs.
Built for clear ownership, practical workflows, and module-level control.

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.
- Capture MRP transaction input and context
- Validate permissions and business policy
- Commit lifecycle transition with audit metadata
- Propagate updates to dependent modules
- 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.
