Material

material master data is the foundation for material requirements planning (mrp) in planeus based on the production plan, mrp in planeus estimates prior to the production what materials will be needed, in what quantities, and when they will be required it helps solve the problem of limited visibility or lack of production readiness that often leads to missing materials, production delays, and inefficiencies, while also providing detailed insight into exactly which planned step will require which material to improve upcoming coordination and plannability where to find materials? you can create and manage all your materials by clicking into master data > material master data importing material data you can also import material data using the data import feature be sure to use the template called “ material ” for the correct format material requirements planning (mrp) materials can be added as bill of materials (bom) linked to technologies creating a bill of materials for each technology in the article master data , you can build a bom to manually add a material select the material from the gray area at the top of the bom form click the plus (+) icon to add it to the list click save at the bottom of the form to confirm your changes whenever you edit a bom, don’t forget to save the changes in the article itself too! importing boms you can import a bom directly from the bom form click the import icon to start the process when you import bom items the materials are also automatically added to the material master data if they are not exist yet how material requirements are calculated planeus calculates material needs like this it looks at the articles and quantities in your scheduled order items the start date of each work step becomes the required date for the material if a bom item isn’t linked to a specific work step, planeus uses the start date of the first work step instead completed work steps from production orders are not included in material requirements calculations material requirement reports planeus offers at least 2 helpful reports for mrp material requirement – single view shows material needs per work step material requirement – grouped view shows total material requirements summarized by material type
