Distribution requirements planning (DRP) in Service Parts Planning (SPP) organizes replenishment planning within bills of distribution (BODs) (see Bill of Distribution (BOD)).
DRP determines the new demands of all locations in your BOD, rounds them, and aggregates them along the BOD to the entry location. On the basis of this it creates scheduling agreement releases and purchase requisitions. DRP also allows for efficient checking of the planning results and a multilevel release process as required.
Other additional functions (see More Functions in DRP), such as stability rules and anticipated demand coverage, ensure that planning runs optimally, products are available at demand, and that you can thus achieve a high level of service for your customers.
