Material Requirements Planning (J44_GB)

Purpose PUBLIC 2
1 Purpose
This process enables your material requirements planning (MRP) department to automate the procurement planning. The main function of MRP is to guarantee material availability and to avoid
delays in order fulfillment. The planning run checks availability of each material and, in case of shortages, creates purchase requisitions, or delivery schedules if a scheduling agreement exists.
Remaining shortages are displayed in the MRP app where the material planner can analyze the situation.
Procurement lead time can be longer than the time available to fulfill a demand. For this reason, you must procure the material in advance and cover your demand from stock. This process starts
by creating forecast demands that are interpreted as expected customer demand. The MRP schedule runs. The system creates purchase requisitions or scheduling lines that trigger external
procurement.
Optionally, you can handle time-dependent stock levels, purchase requisition handover and MRP material exceptions.
This document provides a detailed procedure for testing this scope item after solution activation, reflecting the predefined scope of the solution. Each process step, report, or item is covered in its
own section, providing the system interactions (test steps) in a table view. Steps that are not in scope of the process but are needed for testing are marked accordingly. Project-specific steps must
be added.
Note Values in this test script (decimal notation, date formats, and so on) are presented in U.S. standard notation. If your test system is set up to use a different notation, enter values as
appropriate.

Purpose PUBLIC 3
2 Prerequisites
This section summarizes all the prerequisites for conducting the test in terms of systems, users, master data, organizational data, other test data and business conditions.
2.1 System Access
System Details
System Accessible via SAP Fiori launchpad. Your system administrator provides you with the URL to access the various apps assigned to your role.
2.2 Roles
Assign the following business roles to your individual test users. Alternatively, if available, you can create business roles using the following spaces with pages and predefined apps for the SAP Fiori
launchpad and assign the business roles to your individual test users.
