1.4 In MRP view, key in the procedure to be use.

Note: The key MRP parameters are the MRP Type and Lot Size

Lot Size determines the procedure to be used to determine the quantity to be procured d. MRP Controller responsible for Material Planning of the material In my sample, I used standard SAP MRP type = VB and Lot size = HB: For VB (Manual reorder point planning), a re-order point must be specified. For HB (Replenish to maximum stock level) a maximum level must be specified. Note: Set MRP Group = 0000. Since the material is Externally Procured.
