1 Purpose

This process enables your material requirements planning (MRP) department to automate the procurement planning. The main function of MRP is to guaran-
tee material availability and to avoid delays in order fulfillment. The planning run checks availability of each material and, in case of shortages, creates pur-
chase 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 sys-
tem creates purchase requisitions or scheduling lines that trigger external procurement.
Optionally, you can handle 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.
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.
