Editing Material requirements planning (section)

===Outputs===
There are two outputs and a variety of messages/reports:
* Output 1 is the "Recommended Production Schedule." This lays out a detailed schedule of the required minimum start and completion dates, with quantities, for each step of the Routing and Bill Of Material required to satisfy the demand from the [[master production schedule]] (MPS).
* Output 2 is the "Recommended Purchasing Schedule." This lays out both the dates on which the purchased items should be received into the facility ''and'' the dates on which the [[purchase order]]s or blanket order release should occur in order to match the production schedules.

Messages and reports:
* [[Purchase order]]s. An order to a supplier to provide materials.
* Reschedule notices. These ''recommend'' cancelling, increasing, delaying or speeding up existing orders.
