SAP Business One MRP & Inventory Parameters – Planning & Replenishment
Overview
Getting Ready for Version 11 – MRP & Inventory Parameters That Matter
The 2026 User Group Training Series, Getting Ready for Version 11, is designed to help SAP Business One customers prepare in a practical, step-by-step way through focused sessions delivered across the year. Each one-hour session concentrates on a specific area of configuration or process design, helping teams realise immediate improvements today while laying the groundwork for a smoother transition to SAP Business One Version 11.
Why MRP accuracy matters
MRP and inventory planning in SAP Business One are only as accurate as the item settings, planning parameters, and warehouse structures behind them. As Version 11 approaches, this is the ideal time to revisit the configuration that determines how demand is forecast, replenishment is calculated, and purchasing or production decisions are triggered. Poor configuration often leads to noisy MRP results, over-ordering, stock shortages, and reduced confidence in planning outputs.
What this session focuses on
This practical session looks at the item-level and warehouse-level parameters that have the biggest impact on MRP accuracy, stock levels, lead times, and replenishment performance. The focus is on aligning planning configuration with how your business actually operates, so MRP works with your processes rather than against them.
In this session, you will learn how to
- Configure critical Item Master fields that influence planning, forecasting, and replenishment
- Set planning methods, order intervals, rounding rules, safety stock, and lead times correctly
- Structure warehouses, bins, and stock rules to support cleaner, more reliable MRP results
- Identify bad data or incorrect parameters that cause noise, over-ordering, or stockouts
- Understand what SAP Business One Version 11 means for planning logic, replenishment behaviour, and inventory visibility
Who should attend
Whether you use MRP occasionally or rely on it daily, this session will help you tune your inventory configuration for more accurate recommendations, improved planning confidence, and a smoother transition to Version 11.
Attendance is best suited to:
- Senior leaders and management teams
- Operational, finance and technology decision-makers
To keep the discussion focused and relevant for all attendees, this session is intended for business professionals in the relevant sectors. Registrations may be reviewed to ensure alignment with the intended audience.

Item Master Planning Fields That Influence MRP
Review the critical Item Master settings that drive planning behaviour, including Planning Method, Procurement Method, Order Interval, minimum and maximum quantities, safety stock, and lead time, and understand how each field directly affects MRP recommendations. The session explains how different Planning Methods such as None, MRP, and MRP plus Forecast change supply and demand logic, how Procurement Method decisions like Buy versus Make influence planning outcomes, and how to correctly set safety stock, order intervals, minimum order quantities, and rounding rules. It also covers why lead time, tolerance days, and preferred vendor details are essential for accurate replenishment, and how incorrect or inconsistent Item Master settings create noise, missed signals, or unreliable MRP results.
