4 years ago MRP Area (https://github.com/OCA/manufacture/tree/12.0/mrp_multi_level) is an area in the warehouse you are going to manufacture.
For example, you can just define one MRP area in general stock. That means you are going to use MRP in general stock.
Creating an MRP area is the first step. You have to define after that what products you want to consider for MRP, those are the product mrp areas.
Once it is configured, and MRP multilevel runs, it will create an MRP inventory. MRP inventory is the inventory status for the products in the MRP Area. It will tell you when a products will need to be procure to satisfy the demand. Demand could be for example a sales order.
For project management, confirmed resource plan materials are demand. Thus, when MRP multi level runs, it will create an MRP inventory to tell the user, the quantity they need to procure and the date they need to procure to have the material in time. This is only information. Actual Purchase Orders or Manufacturing Orders are triggered manually from the MRP inventory.
Going specifically for project management. When a project is created, an MRP area is automatically created for the project location. This mean we are going to handle material specifically for this project. When the user confirms a Resource plan line, a product.mrp.area parameter is created automatically. This mean, we are going to use this material specifically for this project. This makes sense because the resurce plan is specific for the project.
For project management, mrp areas are created when creating the project, and product mrp areas are created from confirmed resource plan lines, so the user does not need to configure anything.

I am still quite confused about MRP area, you can shed me some lights? :/
What are the relationship of all these. What happen behind the scene, i.e., when I create project's Planned Resources, and it should trigger MO, right? I don't see that MO has any info about MRP Area.
Thanks!
