Acumatica highlights its latest updates to its Manufacturing Edition ERP solution, tailored to be a flexible and user-friendly business management solution. According to the company, its current features and latest capabilities are designed to help manufacturers navigate supply chain inconsistencies and accurately forecast inventory.

Acumatica is also showcasing its latest enhancements for manufacturers, including updates to its Material Requirements Planning (MRP) application. The MRP application is said to improve supply chain management by offering demand planning and forecasting with time-phased purchase and production orders, kit assembly and warehouse transfer recommendations.

Capabilities of the Acumatica MRP application include:

• Forecasting optional stock and non-stock kit components to drive material demand planning
• Planning horizons that can enable organizations to define time-constrained data for inclusion in supply and demand calculations
• MRP and Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) configuration to include or exclude sales order types, which can improve planning by excluding returns and other orders from inventory planning calculations
• The ability to mark warehouses inactive in MRP/DRP configuration, enabling manufacturers to exclude warehouses from inventory forecasting.

Acumatica experts are demonstrating the cloud ERP platform’s newly designed user interface to attendees, as well, which is said to deliver optimized user experience with improved personalization and customization.
