Material Requirement Planning (MRP) ERP software
Material Requirement Planning (MRP) in Manufacturing
Material requirement planning is essential for keeping production steady and predictable. A strong MRP system helps manufacturers plan the right materials at the right time so production never slows down due to shortages or delays. With accurate planning, companies reduce excess stock, avoid urgent purchases and maintain a reliable production flow.
Our material requisition planning software brings clarity to every stage of manufacturing. It supports both Make to stock and Make to order models, giving manufacturers the flexibility they need to handle changing demand. Whether production starts from minimum/maximum reorder levels or directly from sales orders, the system ensures that every required material is available when needed.
Why manufacturers choose our MRP:
Why does MRP (material requirement planning) ERP software matter?
Production teams rely on accurate numbers to plan output. When work order planning is not linked with production plans, delays become unavoidable. That’s where MRP (material requirement planning) systems become important.
MRP software connects sales orders or internal orders and available stock in one place. The system checks current inventory, reserved quantities ( automatic & manual lock quantities) and expected demand before generating material requirements. This helps manufacturers avoid shortages, reduce manual errors and create accurate purchase requisitions.
For today’s manufacturers, this level of visibility is necessary. With rising order volumes and tighter delivery timelines, ERP solutions for manufacturing industries must include strong production planning capabilities. A modern manufacturing ERP software with integrated MRP module ensures smooth material flow from procurement to production.
MRP Module
The MRP module is built for real manufacturing requirements. It reads the production plan, identifies required materials and shows exact quantities needed. Whether requirements come from minimum reorder levels or direct sales orders, the system calculates everything automatically.
Our module supports unlimited hierarchical BOMs which help determine every material needed for each process step. This ensures the final requirement is accurate and reflects the exact stages of production. The BOM structure also helps identify bought-out items and semi-finished goods so procurement teams know what needs ordering well in advance.
The module supports both auto-lock and manual-lock of available stock. Both Auto-lock and manual-lock reserves material instantly based on the finalized requirement of the production plan. This prevents double allocation, ensures material accuracy and supports real-time planning decisions.
Users can view requisitions by sales order based, production plan based or material wise and combine multiple plans into a single purchase requisition. Our MRP module allows you to see everything from purchase requisition (PR) to purchase order (PO) to goods receipt (GRN) in a single screen.
Features of our MRP system
Features of the module which complete the material planning and procurement cycle.
Process-Based BOM Management
Create highly detailed Bills of Materials (BOM) with process steps, bought-out items, additional costing, expected material to be produced, and planned scrap.
Maintain complete visibility of materials and processes from raw material to finished goods.
Process-Level Quality & Batch Control
Define process-wise quality checks.
Set minimum batch quantities to maintain consistency and production efficiency.
Easy BOM Importing
Import BOMs from other finished goods.
Bring in process-wise material lists via Excel, saving time during setup and updates.
Smart Production Planning
Plan production based on Sales Orders (Make-to-Order) or Make-to-Stock strategies.
Ensure resources are available when needed without overstocking.
Finalize Requirement for Material Reservation
Automatically convert the production plan into finalized material requirements.
Reserve semi-finished goods, raw materials, and packaging materials to avoid shortages or delays.
MRP-Based Purchase Requisition
From the MRP screen, simply select required items and generate Purchase Requisitions instantly.
One-Click Purchase Order Creation
Convert Purchase Requisitions into Purchase Orders for your vendors with a single click, ensuring timely procurement.

Smart Material Requisition Planning with TheERPHub ERP
Effective material management starts with accurate requisition planning.
Our Material Requisition Planning (MRP) module supports both Make to Stock and Make to Order production. You can generate production plans via minimum reorder levels or directly from sales orders, including internal orders for semi-finished goods. Hierarchical BOMs (including routing & process BOMs) let you define every production step, resource and material requirement. The system then auto-calculates bought-out material needs, checks on-hand vs reserved stock and lets you procure quantities all from one screen.
With filters to view requisitions by production plan, sales order or material type, you can create consolidated purchase requisitions across multiple production plans. Pending production plan reports keep everything transparent. From requisition to purchase order, to goods receipt (GRN) and quality check, the process is fully integrated and traceable.
Features of our Material Requisition Planning (MRP) module:
- Create material requisitions from production orders or manually
- Auto-suggest reorder quantities based on min/max and lead times
- Approval workflows for requisitions and PRs
- Link requisitions to POs and vendor selection flow
- Stock reservation against production orders (allocated stock)
- Goods receipt (GRN) and consumption reconciliation
- Reports for material shortfall, usage trends and vendor lead-time
