Material Requirements
Planning
that matches demand.
Turn Sales Orders and Material Requests into a Production Plan — explode BOMs, calculate net requirements, and create Work Orders and purchase requests in one flow.
Customer orders and internal requests define what you need to make.
Plan production from
sales or stock needs.
A Production Plan pulls items to manufacture from open Sales Orders or Material Requests. Consolidate lines with the same BOM, include exploded sub-assembly materials, then submit to generate Work Orders and Material Requests.
Consolidate items Same BOM across orders merges into one planned quantity.
Close or re-open Stop further WO/MR creation when a plan is partially complete.
Business Benefit: One planner view for everything you must make this week — not scattered spreadsheets per order.
Projected Qty · Item C
Plan only what you
still need.
Projected Quantity combines stock on hand, planned production, open requests, and reservations. With Skip Available Raw Materials, the Production Plan subtracts what you already have — ordering and manufacturing only the shortfall.
Sub-assembly aware Skip available sub-assemblies and raw materials independently.

Business Benefit: Fewer emergency purchases and less excess stock — MRP based on real availability, not gross BOM quantities.
“MRP tells you what to buy and make — Manufacturing executes it on the shop floor. Work Orders, Job Cards, and BOMs turn your plan into finished goods with full traceability.”
Explore Manufacturing
Explode structures
down to raw materials.
Multi-level BOMs link sub-assemblies to finished goods. The Production Plan can include exploded items, combine shared sub-assemblies into one Work Order, and show full raw material lists in the exploded view.
Business Benefit: Complex products (FG → sub-assembly → components) planned correctly without manual BOM spreadsheets.
Create Work Orders for in-house sub-assemblies — reserve materials and schedule operations.
Make, buy, or subcontract —
from one plan.
For each sub-assembly line, choose Manufacturing Type: produce in-house, send to a subcontractor, or raise a Material Request. Use Get Items for Purchase / Transfer to split stock moves and purchase in one step.
Combine sub-assemblies Shared parts across finished goods merge into one bulk WO.
Transfer + purchase Pull from child warehouses first, then buy the remainder.
Business Benefit: Purchasing and production aligned — no duplicate MRs for materials already on another site.
Schedule operations on
available workstations.
When a Work Order is submitted, SolutionsERP reserves Workstation slots based on planned start date, operating time, holidays, and existing jobs — creating Job Cards and time logs for the shop floor.

Business Benefit: Realistic promise dates — MRP covers materials and when the line can actually run.
Plan, make, supply —
on SolutionsERP.
MRP connects Sales, Manufacturing, Inventory, and Purchasing — with quality and reporting across the chain.
