Could you integrate your software with our existing ERP?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Manufacturing resource planning systems have several main objectives, among many other additional&nbsp;tasks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To give information when the production order will be fulfilled.<\/li><li>To answer the question: how much the product will cost<\/li><li>To give information about the workload to optimize it and to make work more effective.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For reaching those objectives <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"MPP system (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/mrp-system\/\" target=\"_blank\">MRP system<\/a> needs the following data from the database:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>how many goods are in stock,<\/li><li>what are their income prices;<\/li><li>when they arrived, or are planned to arrive,<\/li><li>which goods are used for the product and their quantities \u2013 so-called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/bill-of-materials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bill of Materials (BOM)<\/a>,<\/li><li>which goods are booked already for other production orders.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The picture is much more complex if the production process contains semi-finished goods, subassemblies.
