Efficient production management requires real-time visibility into the status of manufacturing orders (MRP). The MRP Status feature provides businesses with enhanced tracking of manufacturing order statuses directly from the sales order interface. This feature ensures that sales teams have immediate access to the status of associated manufacturing orders, allowing for better communication with customers and improved planning for product availability and delivery.
This feature is particularly useful for businesses that produce goods based on sales orders and need to maintain close alignment between sales and production teams. By giving sales personnel access to MRP status updates, the MRP Status feature helps to bridge the gap between sales and manufacturing, ensuring that orders are fulfilled accurately and on time. This leads to improved customer satisfaction and more streamlined communication across departments.

This feature is particularly valuable for companies that produce goods based on customer orders, such as manufacturing firms, custom product businesses, and industries with made-to-order processes. With the MRP Status feature, sales teams can monitor the progress of each order, ensuring that they can provide accurate delivery timelines to customers. Additionally, this real-time visibility helps production managers stay informed of any potential delays or bottlenecks, allowing them to take corrective action before issues escalate.
Example Use Case:
A custom furniture manufacturer can use the MRP Status feature to ensure that the sales team has real-time access to the production status of each piece. When a customer places an order, the sales team can quickly check whether the manufacturing process is on schedule, giving them the ability to provide accurate delivery estimates and communicate any potential delays. This not only improves customer satisfaction but also reduces the likelihood of miscommunication between sales and production teams.
In summary, the MRP Status feature helps businesses improve the alignment between their sales and production processes by offering real-time visibility into manufacturing order statuses. This feature enhances communication, reduces delays, and ensures that sales teams have the information they need to provide accurate updates to customers. By integrating the MRP Status feature into their workflow, businesses can optimize production planning, improve customer satisfaction, and maintain smoother communication across departments.
