Hi is there an easier way to generate production tickets for the many levels of sub assemblies when using MRP for replenishing stock items? Seems like a pain to run MRP Generation to create the parent, then keep re-running it over and over to generate all the children. Any suggestions?
thank you

MRP should be suggesting sub-assembly production orders at the same time (see example below). Alternatively, once you create the top level production order, you could utilize the “Generate Orders For Sub Assembly” which will create all production order subassemblies for that order regardless if there are enough of the subassembly items on hand.
See that AMKERUIG is needing to be produced to satisfy Sales Order Demand SO0006556 (would work for any Demand), MRP recommends creating a production order for AMKEURIG, which generates a planned production order (PL, AM000040), which in turn generates other demand. From here you can select all the recommendations you wish to act on and generate all levels of production orders. If I had enough of any of the material requirements on hand, MRP would not recommend creating a production order for that item since I have enough supply to meet demand.

+3Also, make sure the sub-assembly item has “MRP item” selected on the Stock items screen.
+2Make sure that the Default Mark for Production box is checked on the item as well, or the “mark for production” check box is checked on the BOM.
Hi thank you all, you were right mrp does take all children into consideration so long as marked for mrp. Thank you!
