How often does the MRP scheduler run?

You can configure the scheduler to run automatically (hourly, daily) or trigger it manually. It can also run when orders are confirmed.

Does it consider existing inventory?

Yes, MRP considers on-hand inventory, incoming shipments, and existing production orders when calculating requirements.

Can I manually override MRP suggestions?

Yes, you can modify or cancel generated procurement. Manual orders don't affect MRP's future calculations.

How does it handle forecast vs. orders?

MRP can consider sales forecasts, confirmed orders, or reorder points as demand sources, with configurable priority.
