How frequently should I run MRP?

[SAPMM]

Hi, all

The question is, as the title says, how frequently should I run MRP?
For example, daily, weekly or fortnightly?

Thanks in advance!

The frequency of MRP run depends on the business scenario. How complex the system is, how fast you would like to respond to changes. What is your planning strategy (MTO/MTS)?

In most cases, the MRP is run in background every night or can be run evevery 12 hours. It again depends on the business scenario. If it is pure MTS with very little variation...then you can run MRP twice a week. But if you are using pure MTO with lot of variation and you would like to respond immediately to client's requirement, then you will run the MRP daily or more frequently. To answer this question, you should know what planning strategy is using the company.

- How frequently does the data change?
- How huge the client data?
- How quickly the client would like to respond to you customers? Etc.

Let me know if you need further information.
Regards.
