One of the most critical and time-consuming aspects of manufacturing is managing the tasks of maintaining sufficient amounts of materials on hand at all times. How many times has production been delayed because a necessary material was not in stock or you could not get it in time?
The Sage MAS 90 and 200 Material Requirements Planning (MRP) module can help you eliminate purchasing and scheduling problems. It is designed to simplify and speed up the work processes of purchasing and production managers, enabling them to plan more effectively.
The MRP module looks at demand based on open sales orders and sales projections, and supply based on inventory stock levels and open purchase orders. Product build times, lead times and supply and demand functions are combined to estimate the need for an inventory item. With the MRP module, you can produce reports, based on action by date, to advise the purchasing manager which orders need to be placed, which need to be revised and which need to canceled. The MRP module allows for entry of monthly and weekly sales projections by warehouse for each manufactured item, and monthly and weekly sales projections by customer. These estimates, combined with sales order information, can suggest when to purchase raw materials, etc.
Eliminate costly production delays and simplify your scheduling. Complete your Sage MAS 90 or 200 manufacturing solution, and take control of your material purchasing and production planning, with the MRP module.

| Warehouse Groups |
Warehouse Groups allows you to define one or more groups that are used by the MRP Generation process to consolidate recommendations for material acquisitions. For reporting purposes, information is also segregated by Warehouse Groups. |
| Sales Projections | The MRP module allows for entry of monthly and weekly sales projections by warehouse for each manufactured item, and monthly and weekly sales projections by customer. These projections can be used, along with existing sales orders, to obtain information from the MRP report used for purchasing raw material. The Projected Demands report shows actual sales versus projected sales for analysis purposes. |
| MRP Generation | 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. |
| Automatic Generation of Work Orders | If you have the Work Order module installed, the Auto Generate Work Orders program uses information from MRP Generation to create or modify work orders for items that have a procurement type of "make". |
| Action by Vendor Report | This report groups by vendor all actions that have been recommended by the MRP Generation process. This enables you to have all of the information you need on a one-phone-call-per-vendor listing. |
| MRP by Job Report | The MRP by Job Report details upcoming requirements for components on a bill of materials by job (i.e., Sales Order or Work Order). For each component, you can view the quantities needed, the projected on-hand quantities and required dates. |
| Inventory Management Integration | Integration with the Inventory Management module is required to provide MRP with access to 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 supplies all reorder information, vendor lead times and product build times to MRP Generation. |
| Purchase Order Integration | When Purchase Order is integrated with MRP, the material on a purchase order is recognized as a part of the supply of an item during MRP Generation. Items on purchase order form the basis for the Action by Vendor Report. |
| Sales Order Integration | When Sales Order is integrated with MRP, the material on a sales order is recognized as part of the demand for an item during MRP Generation. |
| Bill of Materials Integration | When the Bill of Materials module is integrated with MRP, it supplies the detailed database of components, assemblies and subassemblies for calculating finished goods versus raw materials. MRP Generation will disassemble all finished goods to lowest levels to calculate the various time-phased operations needed, and give the necessary material requirement information. |
| Work Order Integration | Integration with Work Order is optional, but is required to automatically update work orders through the MRP process. The Auto Generate Work Orders program will place or change firm-planned work orders for items. The essence of the work order and MRP interaction is the work order timing and material issued/produced by the work order. |
