Manage Production Requirements Planning (MRP) in BRAINR to plan materials and production capacity.• MRP calculates required raw materials and schedules production across available lines. • Review MRP results after MPS changes to confirm quantities and timelines.
Important Notes
Changes to your Master Production Schedule automatically update the Material Requirements Plan, no manual refresh needed.
Always review your MRP after MPS edits to confirm all production targets, quantities, and timelines flow through correctly.
Accessing the Material Requirements Plan module
From the Homepage, go to the "Production Requirements Plan (MRP)" module located in the Production Planning section.
In this view, you'll find a list of all existing MRPs in one of the following statuses:

MRP Details View
Review every detail of your Material Requirements Plan and make production adjustments.
In the MRP list, click any MRP row or click the three-dot menu at the end of the row and select Details.
This opens the complete MRP Details page with seven tabs across the top, organizing all production planning information into clear sections for easy review and management.
Overview Tab
The Gantt view displays product line allocations across all production lines.
It shows exactly what products will be produced, on which lines, how long production runs on each line, plus exact start and end times for each scheduled block.
Details Tab
This tab displays general MRP details including the plan description, start date, end date, and other essential data about the production plan.
Items Tab
This tab mirrors the exact list of products entered during MRP creation or editing.
Results Tab
This tab shows all requirements needed to execute the MRP, specifically what raw materials, components, and quantities are required to produce your target products.
Example: When planning to produce Chicken without giblets > 18 granel fresh, the raw materials list displays Live industrial chicken along with the exact quantity needed to meet production targets.

What you can edit depends on product type and order status:
Co-products:
Order generated: No changes possible
No order generated: Change quantity to produce
Main products:
Order generated: Quantity read-only, but can still edit production version, production line, shift
No order generated: Edit production version, production line, shift, quantity to produce
Line Allocation Tab
Shows each line's capacity (quantity/hour, weight/hour) vs. planned production (quantity, weight).
Displays occupation percentage to confirm lines stay under 100% utilization.
Reorder production per line
Click a specific production line.
Drag products up/down to change sequence.
Edit quantities, add notes, or multi-select main products to generate orders.
