MRP Imports & Rules by Order Type Settings


These tabs are split by supply, demand or both, allowing you to manage which types or orders are considered for materials planning. You can choose to delete the status code if required.  When included in the list, the order will be considered when materials planning is run.  Within the profile shipped with Visual APS, default codes are automatically included.  These are configured to match the status codes within the integrated ERP application.
