Material Requirement ManagementMRM · REQUEST TO SHOP FLOOR

A material request that finds its own way to the shop floor.

Someone requests a material. The manager approves it. From there the system decides — issue it from stock, or raise a purchase requisition — and does it inside Dynamics 365 F&O without anyone re-keying a thing.

The Decision

One question decides everything that follows.

Does this item already exist in Dynamics 365 with a valid item number? The system asks, then commits to a path — no human triage in between.

Path A · InventoryITEM NUMBER EXISTS IN D365

The fast route. Nothing needs buying — the material is already sitting in a warehouse, so the system just moves it.

  • 1
    Movement Journal created automatically in Inventory Management
  • 2
    Stores team reviews and posts the journal
  • 3
    Material issued to the shop floor and the request closes
Path B · ProcurementITEM NOT FOUND IN D365

The longer route, but it still starts itself. Procurement picks up a requisition that already has everything they need on it.

  • 1
    Purchase Requisition created in Procurement & Sourcing
  • 2
    Procurement reviews and creates the item number if needed
  • 3
    Requisition converted to a Purchase Order and material received
  • 4
    Stores issues it through the standard inventory process
Who Does What

Four roles, and nobody waiting on an email.

Each lane is a team. Each column is a step. The handoffs happen in the system, so nothing sits with a person who doesn't know it's theirs.

STEP 04 SPLITS — ONLY ONE OF THE TWO LANES RUNS FOR ANY GIVEN REQUEST

Inside Dynamics 365

Two modules, two record types, zero re-keying.

MRM doesn't hold a shadow copy of your inventory. It writes into the modules your finance and stores teams already work in.

When the item number resolves, a Movement Journal lands in Inventory Management ready for the Stores team to review and post — quantity, warehouse and cost centre already populated from the request.

When it doesn't resolve, a Purchase Requisition is raised instead. Procurement creates the item number if one is needed, converts it to a Purchase Order, and receives the material into inventory.
