Managing sufficient material levels is one of the most critical and time-consuming aspects of manufacturing. Eliminate purchasing and scheduling problems and speed up the work processes. Help purchasing and production managers analyze current and future material and distribution requirements to enable them to plan more effectively.

The MRP system is tightly integrated with the Customer Orders, Inventory, Sales Analysis (Forecasting), Purchasing, and the Manufacturing modules, and is sensitive to company and location (plant) specific criteria. MRP analyzes the existing on-hand position of an item, open purchase orders, open manufacturing orders (including planned, stock, and custom orders), open commitments, and sales forecast data, to produces a running balance. This demand analysis can be viewed daily, weekly, or monthly. Complete pegging is supported allowing the user to drill down to view critical data such as when purchase orders are due, when manufacturing orders are due to be completed, and the actual customer orders making up the commitments of an item.

An MRP run will generate suggestions for you based on parameters such as minimum balance, lead time, etc. These suggestions can then be analyzed through the MRP inquiry function, and then modified or converted into manufacturing work orders and vendor purchase orders.
