Planning with Acumatica’s MRP

Posted on: August 20, 2023 | By: Page Wildridge | Acumatica

Acumatica, a popular cloud- based ERP solution, comes equipped with an advanced Material Resource Planning feature. Acumatica’s MRP could help your business streamline your efficiency and increase client satisfaction. In this blog, we will explore a few of the MRP’s several excellent features and how each can strengthen your business. 

Queue, Finish, and Move Time 

Acumatica’s Queue, Finish, and Move Time feature helps your business factor in different requirements for your inventory. Your business can define queue, finish, and move times into the ERP depending on your inventory’s needs. These needs include cooling, drying, movement to outsourced manufacturing services, or non-production times. By allowing for these times within your MRP, your business can reliably track and plan. 

Order Lead Times 

After defining lead times within your inventory, Acumatica will automatically factor these lead times into your planning to ensure proper inventory. Your business can set these lead times depending on the item’s needs, such as when the product needs to be inspected before it is moved to a second location or other types of warehouse transfers. Your business can avoid potential lags in inventory by harnessing the power of Acumatica’s MRP. 

Transfers 

The MRP will balance availability and requirements for scheduled inbound or outbound transfer orders across warehouse locations. By working with the MRP, your business can automatically manage supply and demand needs to eliminate small errors and meet all of your client needs.
