Rootstock Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is the software engine that will use the sales order and forecast demands in conjunction with the effective production bill of material and by reviewing item inventory balances will generate planned supplies in a time phase manner to offset the outstanding demands for end items and sub assemblies. 

Rootstock Production Engineering includes the following capabilities: Item Master Maintenance, Bill of Material Maintenance, Item and Bill of Material Revision Control, and Engineering Change Control.

Rootstock Manufacturing Inventory Control supports a number of business processes relating to the maintenance of item inventories, inventory valuation and planning and setting of item policies such as lead time and MRP planning.  Purchase Requisition Maintenance for Direct Material Items is also supported in this module as is a Supply Demand Review (an output of MRP) which illustrates the supply and demand picture with projected on hand balances helpful to a material planner for managing the inventory.

Rootstock Project Control provides an additional capability to the inventory control tracking, and planning and costing of items. In a project control environment not only does the manufacturer want to control and plan material purchases and manufacturing for the division but wants to additionally identify inventories and costs by project.  

Rootstock Lot/Serial Control, supporting Netsuite’s lot and serial traceability, provides for an item’s lot or serial number to be registered through Purchasing Receipts, Inventory, Shop Floor Control and Sales Order Fulfillment functions.  

Rootstock Multi Division - Multi Site expands functions and locations, reduces duplication for those manufacturing companies that have multiple plants in various locations throughout the world,  ROOTSTOCK provides inter-division and inter-site capabilities throughout all applications. Netsuite uses the terminology and concepts of Subsidiaries and Locations. Rootstock correlates the concept of Netsuite subsidiary to a Rootstock Company and in most cases correlates the concept of Netsuite Location to a Rootstock Division.

The Rootstock-Arena Integration automates the process of transferring current product configuration data from Arena to Rootstock, avoiding manual entry errors and ensuring that manufacturing configuration data is always up to date and fully synchronized. This shared data, including Items, Item Revisions, Bill of Materials (BOMs), and Engineering Changes, is received and used by Rootstock to perform up to date manufacturing planning and shop floor operations.
