Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Looking at the MRP record, the gross requirements for item DEF in week 1 is 30, meaning a planned order release of 30 is needed. In week 3, the gross requirements increase to 120 (60+30+30) and the planned order release is 145 to cover this demand. There are no gross requirements in weeks 2, 4, and 5, so the planned order releases are 0. Therefore, the quantities of planned order releases for item DEF for the first five weeks are 60, 0, 145, 0, 0.
