According to the MRP record, the gross requirements for item DEF are 50 in week 1, 30 in week 3, and 150 in week 5. The scheduled receipts are 20 in week 2 and 60 in week 4. The net requirements are therefore 30 in week 1, 0 in week 2, 60 in week 3, 145 in week 5. To satisfy these net requirements, planned order releases of 60 in week 1, 0 in week 2, 145 in week 4 are required. Therefore, the quantities of planned order releases for item DEF for the first five weeks are 60, 0, 145, 0, 0.
