MRP software that plans from the floor up, not from a stale ERP snapshot.
V5 Ultimate MRP runs the classic material-requirements engine — BOM explosion, gross-to-net, time-phased POs and work orders — on the same database as your kiosk, lots, calibration and eBR. AI watches real consumption, real yields and real lead-time noise, and re-plans automatically. Included on every plan, from Express to Enterprise.
Most MRP runs are working off numbers the floor stopped believing months ago.
ERP MRP runs overnight on inventory the warehouse can't actually find
Planners maintain shadow spreadsheets because the BOM doesn't match the formula
Safety stock and lead times haven't been touched since go-live
Yields, scrap and substitutions never make it back into the plan
Shortage meetings discover next week's stock-out the morning of
POs get cut for material that's already been substituted on the floor
A real MRP engine — driven by what actually happened in the last batch.
Multi-level BOM explosion
Phantom assemblies, alternates, co-products, by-products, scrap factors, yield curves. Your formula IS the BOM — no double-keying between MMR and ERP.
Gross-to-net + time-phased plan
Demand from sales orders, forecasts and safety stock. Supply from on-hand, in-transit, open POs, open WOs. Net requirements time-phased to the day, ready to release.
Lot-, expiry- and bin-aware
Allocation respects FEFO, retest dates, holds, quarantines and segregation rules. MRP never plans against material it can't legally consume.
AI re-plan on real consumption
Reorder AI, yield AI and anomaly detection watch every batch close, then nudge lead times, safety stock and reorder points before the next MRP run.
Exception-first planner cockpit
Past-due, expediting, supplier stock-out alerts, allergen / cross-contamination conflicts, dual-source rebalance. Not 80,000 rows of noise.
ERP + supplier portal native
Two-way sync with NetSuite, SAP, Dynamics, QuickBooks Enterprise, Sage X3. Supplier portal closes the loop on ASNs and short-ships without email.
MRP that planners actually trust — because the floor wrote it.
- Cuts emergency POs and air-freight by re-planning before the stock-out, not after
- Eliminates the ERP-vs-floor inventory gap that breaks every overnight MRP run
- AI tightens safety stock 10–25% without raising stock-out rate
- Lot, expiry and hold status enforced inside the plan — never plans phantom inventory
- Live on every plan, including Express — no add-on module, no second integration
MRP that respects the rules your QMS already enforces.
Lot integrity (21 CFR 211.184 / 111.415)
Every allocation is lot-aware. MRP cannot consume a quarantined, expired or out-of-spec lot — the QMS hold flows straight into the plan.
Change control (21 CFR Part 11, ISO 9001 §8.5.6)
Approved formula version = the BOM MRP plans against. A formula change re-triggers MRP with full audit-trail.
GAMP 5 Second Edition
Category 4 configured product. Planning records and AI suggestions are reviewable, attributable and reproducible — same engine as the eBR.
MRP software, answered.
What is MRP software?
Material Requirements Planning (MRP) software explodes a forecast or sales order through a multi-level Bill of Materials, nets against on-hand and in-transit inventory, and produces time-phased planned purchase orders and work orders. MRP II extends this with capacity, labour and finance. V5 Ultimate runs both — on the same database as your kiosk, lots, calibration and eBR.
How is V5's MRP different from my ERP's MRP module?
Your ERP's MRP plans from whatever inventory it last got told about. V5's MRP plans from the actual floor — live lots, real yields, real scrap, real substitutions, real holds — and AI re-tunes lead times and safety stock between runs. Same engine; vastly better inputs.
Is MRP available on every plan?
Yes. MRP — BOM explosion, gross-to-net, time-phased plan, lot-aware allocation, planner cockpit — is included on Express, Professional and Enterprise. AI re-planning, forecasting and anomaly detection ramp with the tier.
Do I have to throw out my ERP?
No. V5 MRP can run as the planning brain with the ERP as the financial system of record (POs, GL, AP) — or take over both. Two-way signed REST + webhooks with idempotency keys; common ERPs are scoped in hours.
How is the AI involved in planning?
Three places: (1) Reorder AI suggests POs from real consumption + lead-time variance, (2) Forecasting AI projects demand and yields per SKU / line, (3) Anomaly detection flags lead-time drift, supplier slip, or substitution patterns that would break the next run.
Does MRP work for batch / process manufacturing, not just discrete?
Yes — V5 is built for regulated batch and process first. Co-products, by-products, yield curves, percentage formulas, density-adjusted dispense, allergen and cross-contamination rules are all native.
