Watch a Demo on demand planning, production and MRP capabilities in SAP Business One ERP
Production planning and management are often complex when appropriate tools are not in use. In cases of departments with higher expenses, production must still remain profitable and work according to the best field practices. SAP Business One will ensure that for you. You should be able to deliver orders without generating stock surpluses. You would sleep soundly in using an integrated management system. You could find ways of simplifying production by connecting warehouses and departments better. You should be able to access any type of data in real time and just as easily from your desk than from your mobile phone. Some of the salient features include:
- Tailored production order structure reflecting production process – Create and maintain multi level bills of materials (BOMs) containing items, resources (capacity), and text (instructions).
- Issue and release production orders manually and by back-flush.
- Maintain prices for BOMs at a global level. Resource costs are included in the final product cost.
- Forecast material requirements using a wizard tool.
- Visibility of available capacity to avoid bottlenecks and optimize production plan.
- Precise WIP data.
Brief System Overview of Demand Planning, Production and MRP
- Pool Controls – When the volume of work increases, SAP Business one helps to increase the planning efficiency along with the effectiveness of pool controls.
- Quality Control – Planning and executing industry-specific quality tests during the manufacturing material flow –right from the stage of initial procurement to the entire manufacturing process.
- Product and Production Management – Allowing you to stay on top of the industry-specific projects with cross-functional, real-time reporting. Some of the essential aspects include logistics & manufacturing management, controlling, cost accounting, and so more.
- Materials Resources Planning (MRP) & Production – Providing a wide range of material management specifications. Some of the features are stock & order-related production along with mixed & variant production and other mechanisms for production controls.
- Estimation of the Entire Costs – Preparing proper estimates related to the manufacturing costs for standard quotations or products. This helps in ensuring custom orders related to manufacturing while easily calculating the overall profit margins.
- Sales Management & Supply Chain Management – Ensuring effective management of purchase order and supply sales order. The vital aspects include automated transactions based on EDI-specific industry standards.
- Interactive Dashboards – The solutions allow you to create customized dashboards for getting access to the 360-degree view of the entire manufacturing unit. Besides that, an interactive dashboard enhances the process of operative reporting with flexible analyses & queries.
- Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS) Executive – Viewing vital information like order times, transition periods, lead times, material bills, capacity allocations, availability of resources, and batch groups.
- Multiple Warehouse Management – Enhancing the process of inventory management with advanced bin location & warehouse tracking specifications.
- Product Configurator – Managing multiple product variants for configuring, calculating, and integrating the respective product.

Detailed Software Functionality of Demand Planning, Production and MRP
SAP Business One offers a simple yet powerful planning function to help you schedule and manage items that will be produced or purchased using a variety of criteria. SAP Business One replaces informal, ad hoc, error-prone production scheduling with a more structured process using better information from bills of material, inventory data, inputs from scheduled production and purchase orders, and demand inputs from actual and forecasted orders.
The software offers the following material requirements planning (MRP) functionality.
- Forecasts – You can predict demand based on historical purchases, received orders, and other forecasting metrics in the MRP wizard. Forecast calculations help you anticipate demand for your product and adjust material planning accordingly.
- MRP wizard – Arrange for and optimize future material requirements; manage and execute purchasing and manufacturing recommendations and exceptions. By considering both minimum order quantities and order multiples, you can take advantage of purchase price breaks or standard production lot sizes and thereby reduce costs. The wizard generates a recommendation report that offers advice to either make or purchase items. Numerous drill- down options let you view the net requirement calculations and the actual documents driving the gross requirements.
- Order recommendation report – Automatically create production orders and purchase orders based on information in a recommendation report. If an item needs to be outsourced, you can readily convert a production order to a purchase order. You can also consolidate purchase orders to the same supplier into one order, further streamlining the purchasing process.
Use the SAP Business One Production module to create and maintain the following:
- Bill of Materials (BOMs) – specifies the quantities of components that make up a product.
- Production Orders – a set of instructions for planning and assembling a production item. It
tracks all the material transactions and costs involved in the production process, as well as additional costs, such as labor overhead. SAP Business One supports the following types of production orders:
- Standard – used for regular production. Components are copied from the item BOM.
- Special – used to produce items or perform activities on the shop floor that are not
based on the Standard BOM. - Disassembly – used to report the disassembly of an item with a production BOM.
Components are copied from the item BOM.
A finished product may be the result of an entire production process, or a collection of items
that are sold as a unit, but are not the output of a production or assembly process.
The Resources module serves as an extension to the Production module; together they provide a base platform for managing manufacturing processes in SAP Business One. Using the resources functionality you can perform the following key business functions:
- Manage production capacity.
- Monitor complete standard production costing.
- Analyze real production variances.
- Simplify BOM management.
- Use production orders more flexibly
