Does MARS auto-generate purchase orders?
Yes. MARS creates suggested purchasing requirements that you can view and edit in a convenient scroll-window. The product’s primary vendor is the suggested supplier. You can change the quantity ordered and expected delivery date. When you’re ready to generate purchase orders from the edited records, simply click a button control and MARS creates purchase orders that you can view and edit in QuickBooks.

I have item numbers with bills-of-material that have up to seven and eight levels. Can MARS handle that?
Yes. MARS can process up to eleven levels.

I’m looking at the 13-column MARS report and it’s time-phasing in weeks, our orders span ten months or more, how can MARS solve that problem?
You tell MARS what you want the time-phase intervals to be: You can make the interval weeks, months, quarters, years, days, 10-day intervals, etc…. For example, if you set the interval to 30 days, MARS generates a 13-month time phased MRP schedule.

We are a pretty large manufacturing plant. Can MARS really support our production planning and purchasing requirements?
Yes. MARS is used by tier-one suppliers in stamped metal fabrication, chemical manufacturing and air-tank assemblies. If your operation is made-to-order, repetitive manufacturing, MARS will work for you.
