Bills of materials
Production, assembly, and sales structures that match how products are made and sold.
Production & MRP
Connect planning, materials, and production execution.
Production and MRP design depends on how demand, lead times, warehouses, bills of materials, and procurement are actually managed. Configuration follows the operating model.

What's included
What we can review and deliver
Production orders
Issue, receipt, and closing steps with clear responsibilities.
MRP parameters
Lead times, minimum quantities, warehouses, and forecasts that produce usable recommendations.
Procurement flow
From MRP recommendation to purchase order and receipt.
Costing
Material, labour, and overhead treatment reviewed with finance.
Variance review
Understand the gap between planned and actual production cost.
Working principle
MRP is only as good as the master data behind it. We fix item settings, bills of materials, and lead times before tuning the planning run.
When this helps
Signs it is time to look at this
- MRP recommendations are ignored because nobody trusts them.
- Production orders stay open and stock does not reflect the floor.
- Product cost is calculated outside the system.
- Materials run out or overstock despite the system.
How we approach it
A controlled sequence, not guesswork
- Walk the floorUnderstand how production really runs.
- Fix the structureBills of materials, warehouses, and item settings.
- Tune planningRun MRP, review results, and adjust parameters.
- Close the loopOrder closing, costing, and variance reporting.
Questions
Common questions
Is SAP Business One suitable for manufacturing?
For many small and mid-sized manufacturers, yes. Bills of materials, production orders, and MRP are included as standard; more complex scheduling may need an add-on.
Why are our MRP results unreliable?
Most often because of item settings, lead times, open documents, or warehouse selection. We review these before changing the planning setup.
Can you help with product costing?
Yes. We review how material, labour, and overhead are recorded and work with finance so production cost is calculated in the system.
