Googling MRP it is material requirements planning? Can you give some examples of existing big players and their shortcomings.

Yes, that's the one. I'm not going to go through all of the players, but take a look at Katana MRP. They have a very rigid way of defining what an order is, what a product is, etc. Very specifically, they only allow one layer of subassembly, whereas at least two manufacturers I know have at least 2 levels of subassemblies. They expect their users to adhere to their process, not the other way around.
