Which object must be created for each MRP area?

Each MRP area in the SAP Materials Management module requires the creation of a storage location. This is because MRP (Material Requirements Planning) areas are designated sections within a plant that manage inventory and production requirements more strategically than the broader plant level. Each MRP area links to specific storage locations where materials are stored. By having a storage location uniquely defined for each MRP area, the system can optimize inventory levels, ensure accurate planning, and effectively manage the supply and demand of materials at a granular level.

Defining storage locations for MRP areas allows for better control, leading to enhanced visibility of stock and the ability to perform more precise requirements planning. This setup facilitates better forecasting and inventory management based on the specific needs of different segments within the plant.

Other options do not directly pertain to the requirement for each MRP area. While a material master is essential for tracking materials, it is not unique to MRP areas. A purchasing organization coordinates purchasing activities but is broader than just an MRP area. A plant is overarching and can contain multiple MRP areas, thus not requiring individual creation for each area.
