⭐ Description

In this detailed walkthrough of the VISUAL ERP Material Planning Window, you’ll learn how material planners, buyers, schedulers, and purchasing teams can gain complete visibility into supply, demand, inventory levels, vendor performance, and real-time planning exceptions. The video explains why having the right parts at the right time, in the right quantity and quality is critical to successful manufacturing—and how VISUAL provides the insight needed to achieve that without carrying excess inventory or increasing working capital.

You’ll see how planners can drill into part details, warehouse locations, past purchase and sales activity, bills of material, vendor quotes, qualified suppliers, and alternative parts—all from a single screen. The Material Planning Window offers dynamic supply-and-demand analysis with color-coded demand, purchase orders, projected on-hand quantities, safety stock, and clear exception messages that identify shortages before they occur.

The tutorial demonstrates how planners can take action directly from the planning screen: adjusting purchase orders, expediting materials, creating new POs or work orders, placing transfers, or tying purchases to specific jobs. It also shows how users like “Skip” can filter parts by buyer, due dates, or MRP priorities to build a daily “to-do list,” helping them make fast, confident decisions that prevent shortages and optimize inventory.

Whether you’re responsible for material planning, procurement, or production scheduling, this overview highlights how VISUAL ERP empowers teams to solve problems faster, maintain service levels, reduce inventory, and keep manufacturing running smoothly.
