MAS 90/200 Manufacturing Modules

MAS 90 / 200 Material Requirements Planning

Material Requirements Planning

The Material Requirements Planning module for Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 is known for eliminating the time that's demanded when maintaining the actual amount of inventory - specifically a sufficient amount to prevent purchasing and scheduling issues.  Determining which orders need to be placed, orders in need of revision and orders that should be cancelled is a task in itself.  

The Material Requirements Planning module, or MRP was designed to monitor open sales orders and sales projections, while measuring supply based on inventory stock levels and open purchase orders.  The MRP features collectively make it easy to run detailed reports that assist you with the critical aspects of production planning.

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 estimate the need for an inventory item.
Automation 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.
