Discrete Manufacturing Essentials Part 1: Master Data, MRP, and Production Flow

In this first session of our two?part series, we walk through the complete discrete manufacturing process from planning to execution. We cover the essential master data, creation of Planned Independent Requirements, and planning with MRP Live to generate planned orders. You will learn how to manually convert planned orders into production orders, prepare materials for shop-floor execution, and post confirmations and goods movements. This session provides a clear end?to?end overview of the core manufacturing flow and prepares you for the advanced topics in Part 2.

After participating in this live session, you will be able to:

• Identify the key master data objects required for discrete manufacturing.
• Create and interpret Planned Independent Requirements (PIRs).
• Run MRP Live and understand how planned orders are generated.
• Convert planned orders manually into production orders.
• Perform essential execution steps such as material staging, confirmations, and goods movements.
