Consumption-Based Planning

MRP (Material Requirement Planning) ensures that the stock is available all the time within the
plant.
By configuring MRP we can make sure that based on our configuration our stock is automatically
replenished by creting procurement proposal.
Consumption based planning is based on the priciple of past consumption values and based on
that determine future requirement.
