Hi Shivani,
I think you are talking about consumption based planning.
Following are the Pre Requisites before running MRP
u2022Define MRP types
Path: SPRO u2013 IMG u2013 MM u2013 Consumption based planning u2013 Master data u2013 MRP Types
This will determine the MRP procedures, forecast usage and select automatic calculation of either safety stock / re-order  point
u2022Define MRP areas
Path: SPRO u2013 IMG u2013 MM u2013 Consumption based planning u2013 Master data u2013 MRP Areas u2013 Define MRP areas
We define this for combination of plant, SLoc and Vendor.
Note: MRP area and plant must be the same.
u2022Maintain MRP relevant data at Plant/SLoc level using TCode MM01
- MRP 1, MRP 2 and MRP 3 are for plant level data:
   You need to maintain here the MRP type, forecast model and the period indicator.
   In MRP1, you can maintain the Re-Order point and Lot Size
   In MRP2, you can maintain Safety stock and planned delivery time parameters.
- MRP 4 is for SLoc level data.
u2022 Create MRP profiles (using Tcode MMD1)
  Using this, you can maintain general parameters for materials. The MRP parameters defined here will be independent of the   
  material master.
u2022 Set material status for cross site / plant in material master.
  Material status for Cross site will be assigned in the u2018Basic datau201D view whereas Material status for u201CPlantu201D will be assigned in 
  MRP 1 view.
After having all these pre-requisites maintained, you can run the MRP as Single Item or Multi Level.  Check TCode MD01 / MD02 / MD03 / MD04
Hope this helps you.
Let me know if you need anything further.
Regards,
Nikita
