| Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 Materials Requirements Planning Module | |||
| The Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 MRP module enables you to efficiently manage and maintain material flow and streamline purchasing and production scheduling. It is designed to simplify and speed up the work processes of purchasing and production managers, enabling them to plan more effectively. One of the most critical and time-consuming aspects of managing the manufacturing operation is the process of maintaining appropriate levels of inventory on hand at all times. Using the Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 MRP module, you are able to analyze demand based on open sales orders, sales projections and inventory reorder points; and evaluate supply based on inventory stock levels and open purchase orders. Lead and build times are combined with supply and demand functions to predict the need for an inventory item. Action suggestions are produced, advising which purchase orders to place, which to change, and which to cancel. When integrated with the Work Order module, work orders may be automatically created and/or edited based on information gathered during MRP generation. Complete your manufacturing solution, while at the same time simplifying material purchasing and production planning with the Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 MRP module. |

Maintain Projected Demands
|
Enter monthly and weekly sales projections by warehouse for each manufactured item, and/or 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.
|
MRP Generation
|
Use this function to begin the MRP Generation process. During the MRP Generation process, MRP scans the relevant modules, disassembles the bill of materials, and calculates and stores the data in a temporary MRP work file prior to printing any selected reports. You can view the recommendations calculated from the MRP Generation process on the MRP Report or in the MRP Inquiry window.

You can view demand, supply, suggested actions, and quantities for an item. | Inventory, Sales Order, and Purchase Order Inquiry | The MRP Inquiry menu offers read only access to Inventory, Purchase Order, Sales Order, Work Order, and Bill of Materials data. |
| Rich Feature Set |
|||
| Auto Generate Work Orders | If the Work Order module is integrated, Auto Generate Work Orders uses information from MRP Generation to create new work orders, as needed, in response to open sales orders, inventory reorder information, projections, or manual work order changes. Auto Generate Work Orders changes existing work orders in response to demand, and then pulls in, pushes out, or cancels them, as necessary. If a change is made to a sales order that is linked to a work order, the work order is adjusted accordingly, if necessary. | Advanced Arrival Allowance | During MRP Generation, you may enter the number of days to delay rescheduling purchase orders or work orders if they arrive this number of days prior to the required delivery date. This allows time for receiving and unloading in the warehouse, without the system making a push-out suggestion for the purchase orders. |
| Flexible Demand Sources | Elect to consider Sales Orders, Quotes, and/or your Projections in the calculation of demand. If the Work Order module is integrated, Work Orders are always considered. | Sales Order Cutoff | As cutoff date may be entered prior to MRP generation. Sales Orders dated after this date will be disregarded. |
| Reports |
