What is MRP Live?:
Using MRP Live, we can benefit from improved performance and execute the planning run in much frequency cycles. This means that we can execute daily providing the MRP controller with the following benefits, for example:
- More Accurate supply and demand information on which we can take decisions.
- Faster reaction to demand changes reduces the risk of stock-outs, means that we can reduce safety stocks or Buffer Stocks
- Match demand and supply more efficiently than Classic MRP.
- Identify and react to issues faster than Classic MRP
That’s the High-level overview of MRP Live.

- Select Detailed Display Radio button to get all materials with detail
- We can see PLAN_IN_HANA and PLAN_IN_ABAP Flag against Materials
- PLAN_IN_HANA Means can be executed in MRP Live or Classic MRP based on Business Requirement
- PLAN_IN_ABAP Means should be executed only in Classic MRP
Material TG12 is having MRP Type VB Reorder point Planning
