Microsoft Dynamics Business Central
MRP software that turns demand into a plan your team can execute
MRP software in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central helps you calculate what to buy, what to make, and when, using the same live data your teams rely on for purchasing, inventory, and production.
- Convert sales demand and forecasts into planning suggestions (MPS/MRP)
- Reduce stockouts without inflating inventory
- Plan across items and locations with consistent item policies
Turn action messages into real purchase, production, or transfer orders
If planning lives in spreadsheets, you don’t have MRP—you have risk
Spreadsheet planning creates the same recurring issues: the data is stale, the logic varies by person, and exceptions appear too late. With MRP software in Business Central, planning becomes a repeatable cycle: calculate a plan, review action messages, and carry out the approved changes into execution documents.
What changes with MRP software in Business Central?
Your business processes become more fluid because an MRP software like Business Central can help you better plan your stocks from A to Z.
-
Business Central’s planning system can run MPS and MRP calculations from actual demand and forecasts. MPS focuses on end items, while MRP calculates material requirements at the component level—so you get a clearer, more structured picture of what supply is needed and when.
MRP software capabilities in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Business Central provides MRP software that’s integrated with the items, supply, and demand your teams already manage—so planning is anchored in reality.
-
Run Full Planning, MPS, and/or MRP
Calculate MPS, MRP, or both. MPS plans for end items based on actual and forecast demand, while MRP calculates requirements at the component level.
-
Planning Worksheet and Requisition Worksheet
Use the Planning Worksheet to calculate a replenishment plan and interpret action messages. Business Central supports workflows where action proposals can be carried out into the appropriate execution context (purchase/transfer/production responsibilities).
-
Action messages and exception management
Review system-generated messages (create/change/reschedule/cancel) so planners focus on exceptions instead of manually scanning every item.
-
Reordering policies and replenishment logic
Support planning rules like reorder point behavior and safety stock logic, where the planning system monitors available inventory and proposes supply when thresholds are crossed.
-
Multi-location planning and transfers
Plan supply by location and include transfers as part of the plan when stock needs to be repositioned. (This is handled within the same planning engine and worksheet approach.)
-
BOM-driven dependent demand (when applicable)
MRP calculates requirements from demand and forecasts down to components where BOM structures drive dependent demand.

-
MRP software (Material Requirements Planning) calculates what materials you need to buy, make, or move to satisfy demand, using inventory, lead times, and planning rules.

Business Central can calculate MPS and MRP (or both). Planners typically use worksheets to calculate a plan, review action messages, and carry out approved actions into supply orders.
