MRP is Materials Resource Planning - takes your sales orders, inventory levels, purchase orders, planned forecast orders, vendor delivery history, manufacturing time (if you manufacture) and calculates when you'd need to issue a PO for raw materials or work orders for finished goods to have the finished goods on hand in time to fill your customer orders or what you've forecasted you'd like to have in inventory at any time
ERP is accounting, finance, sometimes treasury, GL, AP, AR, Purchasing, Manufacturing, job costing, supply chain, demand planning, forecasting, planning and scheduling - and usually contains an MRP module.

It is much more related to manufacturing portion only.
