This section of the manual describes the way you use miniMrp to create and manage customer orders and, if required, how to allocate and/or issue inventory in relation to those orders.

miniMrp is used primarily by manufacturers who assemble complex finished products using smaller components and other materials. miniMrp manages the relationship between the top-level assembly and all the components and materials required to build it.

miniMrp now includes a full customer order handling module allowing you to include any number of different assemblies and non-assembly items in a single customer order. If required it'll even print invoices.

In this module of miniMrp you will select the customer and then you'll add items to the customer order. If any of the items are assemblies then you'll be able to create works order and allocate lower level inventory and materials to build the assemblies ordered by the customer. Once works orders are allocated miniMrp will identify any shortages and, when required, produce a Bill of Materials as well as adjust inventory quantities when you eventually 'pick' the materials to build your assemblies..
