Acumatica Distribution Requirements Planning

Time-phase purchase and warehouse transfer order planning. Implement just-in-time strategies to minimize obsolete items and reduce carrying costs for items, kits, and kit components.

• Time-phased inventory plans
• Kit assembly suggestions and kit component supply recommendations
• Optionally drive inventory plans from forecasts

Satisfy Customer Requirements While Maintaining Optimal Inventory Levels

Generate time-phased plans for optimal inventory availability. Reduce inventory, improve customer service, and avoid shortages and stock-out scenarios that result in costly rush orders. DRP enables wholesale distributors to set and maintain stock levels with a consolidated view of demand in user-defined time buckets with recommended actions based on supply and demand transactions or forecasts.

DRP DISPLAY

• Manage by exception to identify what needs to be purchased, transferred, or assembled from a single screen.
• All supply and demand can be viewed from a centralized location.
• Purchase, transfer, and kit assembly orders are created directly from this screen.

FULL REGENERATION

• Schedule inventory plan regeneration to run anytime.
• All existing planned orders for all items are eliminated.
• DRP starts over, calculating gross and net requirements. It then replans the required inventory to be purchased or transferred.

EXCEPTION MESSAGES

• Know which orders to move-in or move-out when demand changes.
• Identify orders that should be cancelled when they are no longer required.
• Expedite orders for inventory items that have demand within vendor lead times.
