MRP – Manufacturing Resource Planning
Introduction
For trading and manufacturing, parts
or items are the core of the operation. Thus it is important to have details and
comprehensive information about it as it would eventually pay-off during the actual
business operation. Salesperson would be able to advise customer with the latest
& details information (pricing, product details etc).
For the manufacturing operation, Bill
of Materials (BOM) module allows you to maintain accurate, up-to-date records on
your product structures, engineering bills and production routings. The Bill of
Materials module allows you to easily create and maintain a detailed bill of the
components and miscellaneous charges that make up your finished items and subassembly
components.
