MARS is an acronym for Material and Assembly Requirements Scheduling. This is an add-on module that runs with QuickBooks.
The MARS Module enhances your QuickBooks accounting software with an MRP reporting capability that supports your manufacturing purchasing and scheduling needs. MARS reports tell you how much raw material you need to buy and when in an easy-to-read time-phased columnar format. MARS auto generates purchase orders and creates supplier schedules. You can edit and print the POs within QuickBooks. MARS provides an indented bill-of-material report with cost roll-up.
Developed in Dexterity, C#, XML and Visual Studio .NET, MARS has been tested and certified by VeriTest, a leading software testing company. MARS is an ideal reporting tool for the automotive, food processing, chemical processing, and other repetitive manufacturers driven by a make-to-order or finish-to-order environment.
MARS distinguishes itself from other MRP solutions by using data from the following records in QuickBooks:
So you don't need to maintain other, outdated, manufacturing tables that provide limited value for the added cost of maintenance.
