Planning & Requirements (MRP)Module 063 apps
Turn what is selling into what to buy and make Coming by Holi
Confirmed orders and demand history have to become a plan before Purchase can buy anything or Manufacturing can start anything — otherwise buying and making are both just guessing. This module sits between the two: it reads what is actually selling and what is already committed, and turns that into requirement, not the other way around.

Demand Forecast & Signal
What sold, by SKU and by period, turned into a short-term forecast — the number every requisition and every production order downstream is measured against instead of a guess.
Requirement Explosion (MRP run)
Confirmed demand exploded through the bill of materials into what raw material to buy and what to produce, and by when — so a purchase requisition or a production order always traces back to real demand, never to a feeling that stock is getting low.
Open-to-Buy / Budget Ceiling
A spending ceiling set per period regardless of what the demand signal suggests, so a real signal cannot on its own commit more money than the business has decided to risk this season. Every requisition the MRP run drafts is checked against what is left of the ceiling before it goes to Purchase.
