The Alliance Material Requirements Planning calculation provides time-phased material requirements planning. Whenever you need to make a planning decision, Alliance MRP balances supply (inventory, purchase orders, work orders) against demand (sales orders and forecasts). It explodes the bill of materials and calculates which parts must be made or bought in order to produce the required products.
