Materials Requirement Planning Software

Manufacturers tell us time and time again the most important factor in their inventory management is their adoption of material requirements planning software. If you’re struggling with production delays and late shipments because you didn’t have the part and couldn’t get it in time, it may be time to take the next step and automate your MRP.

Designed to simplify your processes, the Sage 100cloud Material Requirements Planning (MRP) module for Sage 100 ERP (formerly Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200) was built specifically to eliminate purchasing and scheduling issues. By streamlining your purchasing, inventory, and production processes, you can plan more effectively.

The power of MRP is the ability to assess your demand based on your open sales orders and latest sales projections. Then it compares that to supply using your inventory stock levels and open purchase order data.

Here are just a few features of the Sage 100cloud Material Requirements Planning (MRP) module for Sage 100 ERP:

• The MRP Generation process looks at demand based on open sales orders, sales projections, and work order component requirements and supply based on inventory stock levels, open purchase orders, and existing work orders. Product build times, lead times, and supply and demand functions are combined to estimate the need for an inventory item.
• MRP integration with the Inventory Management module is required to access the items needed to distribute or produce finished goods. The on-hand quantities in inventory are recognized as a part of the supply of an item during MRP Generation. The inventory integration supplies all reorder information, vendor lead times, and product build times to MRP Generation.
• Sales Projections allows you to enter monthly and weekly sales projections by warehouse for each manufactured item as well as monthly and weekly sales projections by customer. Along with existing sales orders, you can use these projections to obtain information from the MRP report when purchasing raw material. The Projected Demands report shows you actual versus projected sales.
• With Warehouse Groups, you define one or more groups that are used by the MRP Generation process to consolidate recommendations for material acquisitions. You can also segment by Warehouse Groups in reporting.
