What if the User doesn raise the Indent?
Answer. If user doesn’t or can’t raise an indent, it is for the MRP or the purchase manager to fulfill the demand. To fulfill the demand, both MRP as well as purchase manager will create indents. In both cases, indent will not have info about item requisitions. MRP will estimate the requirement by looking at the current stock, safety stock and requisitions in hand. It will raise 1 or many indents for the balance requirements. Similar to MRP, purchase manager or some other user, can create indent manually looking at the current requisition, or if they just feel like purchasing something, even without an item requisition. In this case, they will either convert existing requisitions or can enter an indent manually. MRP will define, how system, knows, which all item requisitions are covered by system for materials availability.
