What is MRP and why it is used?

hi
this question was asked in an interview can some one explain in detail for me
What is MRP and why it is used? If there are 2 Lakhs of items is it feasiable to run MRP since running of MRP for 2 lakhs of item is time consuming, if yes then how it is been done?
thanx

Dear Bashir,
1.MRP is material requirements planning which plans the required quantity of depedent material's along with the required date.
2.MRP procedure is sub divided into a normal MRP,Master Production Scheduling and Consumption Based Planning.
3.Cosnumtion BAsed planning is further sub-divided into Time Phased Planning,Reorder Point Planning and Forecast based
Planning.Reorder point planning can be automatic or Manual.
4.MRP type is differentiated using the MRP type value assigned in the MRP1 view of the material master.
5.Some of the MRP types are PD - MRP,M0,M1,M2,M3 - MAster Production Scheduling related,VB - Manual reorder point
planning,VM-Automatic reorder point planning.
6.It is possible to take the MRP for the whole plant/for a specific MRP area using the batch MRP job.
7.MDBT is the T Code for scheduling the MRP job or it can be scheduled for the program RMMRP000 using the T Code SM36
and the results can be checked using SM37.

  • What is powerd and why is it using so much cpu

    When I check the activity monitor, it is almost pegged out. Because of this other things run slowly. So, what is "powerd" and why is it all of a sudden using so CPU?

    It is something related to power management, but it shouldn't be running away like that.
    Select it in Activity Monitor and then Quit it using the "X in octagon" button. You should only need Quit, but try force quit if needed.
    It will restart, but hopefully it won't start running away. If it does, there is likely something else causing it to do that.

  • What is BitLocker and Why Should We Use It in Windows 7 Ultimate & Windows 8 ?

    Hello ppl. Today, I'll try to tell you about BitLocker function in Windows 7 Ultimate & Windows 8 in clear words. When we save a document in our harddisk folders these info are easily can be acquired by a hackers if your system is insecure though a good hacker can beat all kinds of antivirus and firewall software. But !!!
    If your data are saved encrypted on your harddisk, it is impossible to see that data though these clever guys stole your sensitive info. Because the data can not be seen without a log in password if they have been saved with encryption!!! So here is what BitLocker does!!!
    BitLocker saves all your information by encrypting them so you dont have to worry about your sensitive data anymore! Even if they are stolen by other ppl, it's impossible to see your valued work sheets or other personal data such as pics and bank account information as long as you have a good BitLocker password like A3#Be$%Er or whatever.
    BitLocker is a standart feature added to Windows 8 but you should upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate to use it in Windows 7.
    I'll also start a topic about how to activate BitLocker in Windows 8 shortly.
    I try to tell in clean words when I create a topic to help those who have basic knowledge about IT. I hope this helped. If you still have questions about BitLocker please dont hesitate to ask me about them. 

    Hi
    Thank you for your post . This is a good information which can help users to be protected from hackers

  • Nsurlsessiond - what is this and why does it use alot of data?

    Hello
    Firstly
    I was in a public library, uploading to my dropbox account, and all of sudden my network speed indicator/ montior showed heaps of download and fast too.
    but i was not downloading anything.
    I was upping to my dropbox account.
    In activity monitor i noticed this service was operating "nsurlsessiond"
    What is this service?
    In my connection alert it tells me nsurlsessiond tried to establish a connection to apple-dnld.vo.llnwd.net on TCP port 80 (http)
    Secondly, i was using my own wifi, and saw this nsurlsessiond service consuming heaps of data. Again I was upping to my dropbox account. About 1gb this time.
    Now I have blocked communciation to "nsurlsessiond"
    What is the impact of blocking such communication?
    please see details of service in screenshot
    Now after this experience, I am wondering is it apple policy to have communication from our macbook's to somwhere without us knowingly allowing it?  I thought apple was respective of our privacy, or has this changed?
    thankyou for your help and time.
    regards

    i couldnt say. it was just that i happen to be only upping, to dropbox, and then saw downloading on the monitor.
    that was triggered as odd.
    i rarely look at what services are going on... only if my macbook slows down or something else odd.
    in both cases i was only upping to dropbox.
    i dont do alot with my macbook, other than upping to dropbox laterly.
    thankyou for your thinking and help.

  • Ubd activity - what is it, and why is it using 87% of my processors, and killing my battery?

    I have only seen two threads that have the term ubd and battery.  I've shut off my bluetooth, my wifi, and all of my apps, and ubd still fluctuates between 7% and 87% with no explanation.  I have a new MPB (non-retina), and my battery lasts perhaps 1 hour doing emails and internet.  I can't go unplugged at all and expect to do photoshop or any other processor-intensive app.  I'm on 10.8.3, and I've got 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB 7200RPM internal hard drive.  My wife's 13" mbp is 3 years old, and she is on 10.7, and she gets 4 hours of usage in lightroom and photoshop, so what the heck is going on?
    Also, I don't use antivirus or other firewall apps, in case you're wondering.  I like to keep background stuff to a minimum.
    It would be great if the mac support folks could chime in, and thanks in advance for anyone who might be able to help.
    Thanks!

  • What is kernel_task? And why does it use so much memory?

    I have an iMac 27 inch late 2009 purchased new in July 2010. It has a 3.08 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and 4 GB of Memory. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and just now was unable to save an Excel document to an external hard drive with plenty of space with the warning I did not have enough memory. I went to my activity monitor and indeed there is very little memory and at the top of the usages of memory is kernel_task?  I don't know what that is and why it requires so much system memory.
    Also, there is an installation I aborted for an app I realized I didnt need and for some reason something it out there still taking system memory and I get a message when I shut down that it can't install. How do I delete that.

    DNS (Domain Name Service) is the Internet "address book" of web sites. Whenever you go to a site such as http://apple.com your browser must make calls to the DNS server specified in your Network Settings to translate "apple.com" into Apple's IP (Internet Protocol) address of 17.178.96.59. Any time you access any Internet resource (such as sending or receiving email, playing multi-player games, using a browser, Using any app that accesses data on the Internet such as news, weather, stocks, etc) one or more DNS lookups must be made. Many web sites have content from several different sites. Each site referenced on the page must also be looked up. Each query is small (~100 bytes), but they can add up.

  • What is "Directory Service" and why does it "use up 194%" ?

    What is "Directory Service" and why does it "use up 194%" on my istat CPU app monitor?
    Ever since I installed Leopard I've noticed this happening more and more - especially when I install an external hard drive or unplug my ethernet line - this is plainly weird and never happened under Tiger - the temperature shoots up to 84° also - I always to a restart to get rid of it but it's kind of worrying....anybody have any ideas?

    Had this happen myself.
    It does have something to do with Spotlight/searching. Should go away after a while, or so I have heard from other users, 'cause it hasn't stopped driving me and my fan mad yet.
    Am going to have my MacBook index and follow-up on indexing and whatever else it feels is necessary to finally allow me to search in peace over the weekend while locking it away where I can't hear it.
    Hopefully that does the trick.
    If it wasn't for things working better/faster and most things looking better I might actually consider taking Leopard off again ...

  • Lastfmhelper? What is it and why is it always "not responding"?

    When ever I pull up Activity Monitor lastfmhelper is always red and not responding. Anyone have any idea what it is and why it's misbehaving? I noticed this because my 10.5.2 iMac Core 2 Due will all of the sudden become unresponsive. When I brought up Activity Monitor lastfmhelper was, as I said, red and "Not responding".
    Thanks

    It is not an OS X component so it must be from a third-party software product you've installed. A Google search only turned up a reference to a Windows file. There is a web radio site, Last.fm. You may be using software to access the site or installed software from the site to listen to their internet broadcast. If this rings a bell, then locate the software and uninstall it. It my not be compatible with Leopard.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at www.versiontracker.com or www.mackupdate.com.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

  • How and why do I use Xpn files in Photoshop cc 2014

    How and why do I use Xpn files in Photoshop cc 2014. in windows & SP2. I have been given about 20 .XPN files with a Photoshop course. I believe they are PS presets. I have no idea what to do with them.
    Thanks

    To be honest, i don't what those are either, as far as photoshop is concerned.
    Is the course specific to one subject or a general photoshop course?

    Hi,
    SAP designed some standard scenmarios to meet most of the clients requirements. But still it won't suit the clients exact business spcifications, so we ned this enhancements.
    it's basically to enhance the Std SAP as per the clients requirements.
    An enhancement includes one or more components (function exits, menu enhancements, screen enhancements). For enhancements, you are recommended to observe the following naming convention.
    We add fields using the Screen exits, desing menu's using menu exits and Function exits to enhance the std functionality of the programs.

  • What is Mangler and why is it taking over my Mac and making it slow?

    I thought I had a hard drive problem and maybe I still do but one of the suggestions I got to see what was going on when my machine slowed to a crawl was to run Activity Monitor.
    Umm, what the heck is Mangler and why is it using 6GB of memory and 12GB of virtual memory? I can see it's related to sync and that when my machine syncs the processor goes balistic, the machine slows to a crawl and the fans go on full bore. What's wrong?
    Obviously there was a time when it worked without crippling my system so the question is how to I correct this. Ideas?
    Gregor

    Hi Gregor;
    Mangler is a utility for renaming files.
    Do you have version 2 which was release for Snow Leopard?
    Another choice would be delete it if you don't use it.
