Sage Inventory Requirements Planning Replaces Sage 100 MRP

Sage Inventory Requirements Planning (IRP) replaces the legacy Sage 100 Material Requirements Planning (MRP) module, fully bringing your solution’s manufacturing and distribution features into the modern Business Framework. The new IRP module completely automates the manual processes required in the MRP add-on, consolidating your reporting to streamlined, easily digestible and interactive dashboards.

Released in 2019 along with several other comprehensive updates for Sage 100 manufacturing software, Inventory Requirements Planning features demand-based control and planning automation. With several integrations available for related Sage 100 modules for manufacturing and distribution, IRP allows you to cut production times down and move your inventory processes seamlessly.

  • Automated purchase and production item quantity recommendations based on build times, lead times, and demand
  • A Generate PO program that removes manual Purchase Order entry

  • Edit quantity recommendations and then create a 1-click work ticket
  • Assign specific materials to a work ticket and then seamlessly place an order for those materials

  • Consolidate and calculate all vendor purchases in a single page
  • Consolidate and calculate all make to stock production item costs

Migrating from MRP to Sage 100 IRP

Inventory Requirements Planning provides Sage 100 MRP users with a migration path to the modern Business Framework. The upgraded solution Framework Logic delivers many updated and new features. SWK Technologies will continue to support legacy Materials Requirements Planning customers until 2022; however, users that do not take advantage of this migration path will miss out on all the new inventory planning functionality IRP delivers.

Inventory Requirements Planning was designed for the Sage 100 manufacturing and distribution solutions by SWK partner Scanco alongside Sage. In addition to IRP, Scanco helped develop the Production Management module as well, which replaces the Work Order (WO) module as IRP replaces MRP. Users who migrate from WO to PM will also gain several benefits over their legacy software, including:

  • Link raw materials to POs
  • Real-time Work Ticket updates with Dynamic Labor
  • Link steps to Vendors and assign POs from Work Order with 1-click
  • Instant recording of Labor Transactions to Work Order

Additionally, Inventory Requirements Planning can integrate directly with Production Management. This integration is required to automatically generate work tickets through IRP as the supply and demand is populated from one module to the other.
