Re: Frequency to run MRP600

[fkolmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Weird man, It should be irrelevant how frequently you run MRP, so I suppose
once a month is OK.
Do you make or only buy. Do you have many customers with fluctuating demand or
a few with constant demand.
But when you a running a business and have your 'finger on the pulse' running
MRP daily would be ideal.
I can only assume that your business is very predictable stable and has a low
stock turnover, either that or
shortly it will be very slow predictable and have a low stock turnover.
