MRP plans per item, per location — but only if you tell it how.
The Common Mistake
Trying to plan multi‑location supply without Stockkeeping Units (SKUs).
What Goes Wrong
Stock in the wrong warehouse
Unnecessary transfers
Confusing availability figures
Why SKUs Matter
SKUs allow:
Location‑specific replenishment systems
Different reorder policies per warehouse
Separate safety stock and lead times
Without SKUs, MRP is blind to operational reality.
