What Is It?

An MRP profile essentially helps a company organize its materials and set values for MRP relevant fields. You might have a different profile for:

• Finished Goods
• Project Stock
• Plant Stock
• Subcontracting Stock

An MRP Profile applies for a specific plant or sets of plants. You can define which fields are necessary to be filled with values for the MRP specific data in the material master, which fields can be changed and which must be defaulted. Here is an example of some of the fields that can be configured.

• MRP Type
• MRP Controller
• ABC Indicator
• Planned Delivery Time in Days
• In house production time
• Safety Stock
• Reorder Point
• Lot Size
• MRP Group

There are many more, so by filling in the MRP Profile, we are categorizing the material for future use.
