Issues related to MRP on HANA

Database was always a bottleneck for MRP performance, since a lot of data must be read and write on each MRP run.

As of SAP enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0, version for SAP HANA, it is possible to optimize the MRP performance using SAP HANA.

The optimized MRP and Stock-/Requirement List can be activated with the switch LOG_PPH_MDPSX_READ (see note 1768031 for more details).
