What Features are Available in Acumatica’s DRP?
One of the most important features of Acumatica’s DRP functionality is its robust inventory replenishment capability. With it, your ERP system generates forecasts that can be automatically calculated based on historical data. It then uses those forecasts and actual consumer demand to optimize inventory plans for kit assemblies, kit component requirements, purchase orders, and warehouse transfers, helping you increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction.
You will also find comprehensive screens for time-phased inventory planning, transfer management across warehouse locations, and more. It even lets you benchmark and evaluate DRP performance in the past, aiding in future planning. All these features mean that your supply chain is as effective as possible, while also providing all your team members with the necessary information to be as effective and efficient as possible, instead of trying to keep up with data management.
All of these features play a critical role in ensuring you have the right products in the right place at the right time. You can significantly reduce the risk of stockouts and overstock situations, as well as limit carrying costs because you won’t have excess inventory or trouble fulfilling expensive rush orders. Acumatica’s DRP functionality offers clear insights into which supply orders need to be moved, expedited, or canceled, making your supply chain, and your visibility into it, more robust and efficient.
Lastly, Acumatica’s DRP functionality can also promote better collaboration between different departments within your business, including sales, warehouse management, and logistics. This cross-department integration stems from everyone working from the same data and understanding how their decisions impact other parts of the supply chain.
