Advanced Material Requirement Planning for SAP Business One
Material planning requires businesses to consider demand, existing inventory, outstanding procurement documents, and the components needed to manufacture finished goods. When these requirements are reviewed separately, planning teams can find it difficult to consolidate material needs and identify which items require further action.
The Advanced MRP Addon for SAP B1 provides a structured workflow for material requirement planning. Users can plan based on sales orders or forecasts, load the relevant BOM components, review consolidated material requirements, and select applicable rows for document generation.
By bringing these activities into a single planning process, the addon helps teams organize material requirements and manage the creation of production and procurement documents more efficiently.
Key Highlights
- Flexible demand planning: Work with sales orders or forecasts, depending on the selected planning scenario.
- Requirement consolidation: Review common item requirements alongside inventory and outstanding procurement information.
- Multilevel BOM visibility: Load raw materials and linked multilevel BOM items for the selected header item.
- Procurement selection: Select applicable procurement types for planning lines.
- Controlled document generation: Generate documents only for selected rows that have a net required quantity greater than zero.
- Automatic status updates: Successfully processed rows are closed and locked against further editing.
- Pending item management: Keep unprocessed rows available for later document generation.
Why Kabeer Developed the Advanced MRP Addon
Bring Greater Structure to Material Planning and Procurement
Material requirements are influenced by production demand, sales commitments, forecasts, existing stock, and outstanding purchase documents. Reviewing these factors across separate records can make it harder to determine which materials need action.
The Advanced MRP Addon was designed to provide a more organized way to calculate, consolidate, review, and process material requirements within SAP Business One.
With this addon, planning teams can work with forecast-based or sales-order-based demand, examine the related BOM components, and proceed with document generation for the relevant items.
