Material Requirements Planning —
MAS 90 & MAS 200
One of the most critical and time-consuming aspects of inventory management is managing the task
of maintaining sufficient amounts of materials on hand at all
times. How many times has production
or shipping been
delayed because a necessary item was not in stock or
you could not get it in time?
The Material Requirements Planning (MRP) module for the
Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 ERP systems can help you eliminate purchasing and scheduling problems. It is
designed to simplify and
speed up the work processes of
purchasing, inventory, 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 be 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, and more.
Eliminate costly production delays and simplify your scheduling. Complete your Sage MAS 90 or 200
manufacturing or distribution solution, and take control of your material purchasing and production
planning, with the MRP module. |

Features: |
|
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 provides entry for monthly and weekly sales projections by warehouse for each manufactured item, and monthly and
weekly sales projections by customer. You can use these projections, along with existing sales orders, to obtain information from the MRP
report when purchasing raw material. The Projected Demands report shows actual sales versus projected sales for analytical 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 estim ate 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 (for example, 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—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. |
|
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 a purchase order compose the basis of 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 its 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 to improve the work order timing, taking into account the material consumed and produced by the work order to facilitate
greater insight and control over the entire shop floor. |
|
For Non-Manufacturers—MRP offers value to distributors as well as manufacturers. In fact, any company using the Sage MAS 90 or 200 Inventory Management
and Purchase Order modules can leverage MRP to manage the purchasing side of their business. |
