DeepseekETRM - MRP Tables and Views in Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2

Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) leverages Material Requirements Planning (MRP) tables and views to manage supply chain planning, inventory optimization, and production scheduling. The MRP module in Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 relies on a structured database schema comprising key tables and views that store transactional data, planning outputs, and configuration parameters. These objects facilitate demand forecasting, material requisitioning, and order scheduling.

Core MRP Tables

MRP_FORECAST_ITEMS (MRP_FORECAST_ITEMS): Stores forecast entries for items, including quantities, dates, and organizational details. It serves as the foundation for demand planning.
MRP_RECOMMENDATIONS (MRP_RECOMMENDATIONS): Captures system-generated suggestions for purchase orders, work orders, and transfer orders based on MRP runs.
MRP_SCHEDULE_DATES (MRP_SCHEDULE_DATES): Tracks scheduled receipts and order due dates, ensuring alignment with production timelines.
MRP_PLAN_ORGANIZATIONS (MRP_PLAN_ORGANIZATIONS): Defines the scope of planning by specifying which organizations participate in MRP runs.
MRP_RELIEF_INTERFACE (MRP_RELIEF_INTERFACE): Acts as an intermediary table for relieving planned orders into executable transactions.

Key MRP Views

MRP_FORECAST_ITEMS_V (MRP_FORECAST_ITEMS_V): Provides a consolidated view of forecast data, including item descriptions and UOM details.
MRP_RECOMMENDATIONS_V (MRP_RECOMMENDATIONS_V): Enhances recommendation data with item and supplier information for better decision-making.
MRP_SCHEDULE_DATES_V (MRP_SCHEDULE_DATES_V): Combines schedule dates with item attributes to support production scheduling.
MRP_PLANNING_ITEMS_V (MRP_PLANNING_ITEMS_V): Aggregates planning item details, including lead times and sourcing rules, for comprehensive analysis.

Integration with Other Modules

MRP tables and views interact with Oracle Inventory (INV), Purchasing (PO), and Work in Process (WIP) modules. For instance, MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B links MRP items to inventory master data, while PO_REQUISITIONS_INTERFACE enables the conversion of MRP recommendations into purchase requisitions. The WIP_DISCRETE_JOBS table supports the creation of work orders from planned production schedules.

Technical Considerations

MRP tables are optimized for batch processing during MRP runs, which involve complex calculations for netting demand and supply. Indexes on columns like INVENTORY_ITEM_ID and ORGANIZATION_ID improve query performance. Views often incorporate joins with MTL_ITEM_REVISIONS_B and BOM_BILL_OF_MATERIALS to provide contextual data for planners.

Conclusion

Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 utilize a robust framework of MRP tables and views to streamline supply chain planning. These database objects enable accurate demand forecasting, efficient order generation, and seamless integration with procurement and manufacturing processes. Understanding their structure and relationships is critical for optimizing MRP functionality and ensuring data integrity across the supply chain.
