Built for Acumatica

How far out can you actually see?

Acuity is time-phased MRP for Acumatica manufacturers and distributors. It replaces your native MRP module and plans against your real orders and jobs, so you know what to buy, what to build, and when.

Why MRP

A plan built from real orders,
not averages

Reorder points guess at demand from past usage. Acuity works from what's actually on the books: every sales order, purchase order, and production job, dated to the day. Distributors get a precise buying plan; manufacturers get the same plan carried through every level of the bill of materials.

01

Built by Acumatica users

We ran planning in Acumatica and built Acuity for the gaps we kept hitting. It reads your bills of material, stock, sales, purchase and production orders directly, with nothing installed in your instance.

02

A true MRP engine

Supply is netted against demand day by day, with lead times, min on-hand, order quantities, expiration dates, and working calendars built in, and carried through every level of the bill of materials for what you make.

03

Planned from what's true now

Every new order, job, receipt, and shipment shifts what you need and when. Acuity plans on real-time Acumatica data, so you never buy against a stale snapshot.

Acumatica MRP

What Acuity MRP does

Everything runs on live data from your Acumatica instance. No spreadsheet exports, no middleware, no duplicate entry.

⟳

Time-Phased MRP

Daily, weekly, or monthly buckets with multi-level BOM explosion. Every suggestion is tagged Late, Order Today, Act Soon, or On Track, so you know what to work first.

◫

Stock Levels That Fit the Plan

Acuity ranks every item by value and demand predictability from your sales history, recommends the min on-hand and lead time each should carry, and shows where you're holding too much today or where open orders will leave you with excess.

◎

Available to Promise

Enter an item, quantity, and date. Acuity checks every component through the BOM, names the bottleneck, and returns the earliest date you can commit to and the most you can promise.

⊞

Demand Forecasting

Six statistical methods with confidence intervals and named scenarios, generated from your sales history or entered by hand. Forecasts feed straight into the plan.

⏱

Measured Lead Times

Real lead times from your receipt history, by item, vendor, or warehouse, instead of the stale values sitting in the item master.

⧖

Expiration-Aware Planning

Stock that expires before it's needed drops out of the plan, and Acuity plans new supply to cover it.

⊕

Per-Item Tuning

Lead time, safety days, order minimums and increments, and min on-hand, set per item, vendor, or warehouse. Bulk import and export.

⊟

Saved Reports

Save any warehouse, item slice, horizon, and bucket size, and re-run it later with dates that roll forward on their own.

Shortage impact

Know which shortages are costing you sales,
and what it takes to free them

Every open sales order is traced to the items holding it up, then ranked by dollars: the sales a fix frees up against what that fix costs.

Acuity MRP shortage impact by item: $386K of sales waiting on material, with the top five fixes freeing $157K of sales for $19.7K of material
Acuity MRP shortage impact by sales order: held orders ranked by value, with the items each is waiting on and what it costs to clear

Small fixes, large orders

Surface the inexpensive item that's the last thing standing between a large order and shipping.

Dollars a fix actually frees

Items that are an order's only gap are counted apart from items that share the blame, so the totals reflect what clearing each one really unlocks.

Ranked by order, too

Switch views to see which held shipments are worth the most and what each would cost to clear.

Order and production visibility

See what can ship, what can be built,
and what's holding it up

Every sales order and production job on a calendar, colored by whether its material will be there on the day.

Sales and production calendars

Each job and order is scored against the plan, with the share that's ready right now. Open a job to see what it can build today and which material is limiting it.

Trace any order to the cause

Follow an order through every level of its bill of materials, down to the late purchase order or the raw material nobody has ordered yet. It's one click from any held order.

Item timelines and allocation flows are there too, for digging into a single item.

AI-powered

Planning data that explains itself

Ask why, and get an answer your whole team can follow.

Summaries before your first coffee

A briefing of what to order, build, and chase across one report or several, written in the format your team prefers.

Every number comes from the plan. The AI explains it; it never makes one up.
