Sounds pretty good to me, except I would change the last sentence (which may have been a typo) to "This continues till end of explosion of all non-MPS items.".

For this to work correctly, you need to be sure that your non-MPS items do not have any children that are MPS items. If a non-MPS item has a child that is an MPS item, MRP600 will generate requirements for the MPS Item, but since MRP500 (that plans the MPS items) has already been run, there will not be any planned orders generated for that MPS item. I have seen this happen occasionally. The Item low level codes (which should be maintained automatically during BOM maintenance) must also be correct. If not, you could generate requirements for items that have already been planned.

Hi, Would like to have your feedback on following (my understanding of MPS-MRP processes in BPCS): Forecast (in case of make-to-stock) or Customer Order (in case of make-to-order or assemble-to-order scenario) creates Demand or Requirement for FG (Finished Goods) MPS item i.e. KMR record for FG MPS item. Upon running MPS (MRP500-Master Schedule), this Demand or Requirement (KMR) drives & creates Planned Order (KFP record) for this FG MPS item which further drive & creates Demand or Requirement (KMR) for next (Child) MPS item which in-turn creates Planned Order (KFP) for that MPS item. This continues till the end of BOM structure. Upon running MRP (MRP600-Explode Requirements) which takes MPS item Planned Order (KFP) as Input & generates Demand or Requirement for next (Child) non-MPS item which in-turn creates Planned Order (KFP) for the same non-MPS item. This continues till end of explosion of all MPS items. Pl. correct me wherever I am wrong. Regards, Prashanth
