Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The starting point for each part and material needed to accomplish the master production schedule are the gross requirements, which represents the total demand for a part or material over a specified time period. From this starting point, the MRP system calculates the net requirements by subtracting the available inventory and scheduled receipts from the gross requirements. The planned releases and planned receipts are output of the MRP calculations and represent the planned timing and quantity of production and purchase orders. The scheduled receipts represent the actual timing and quantity of materials that have been ordered and are expected to arrive at a specific date.
