Hello to all, 

I have the pleasure of joining on with a company utilizing Acumatica*. We are very much in the beginning stages of setting up and creating part numbers with designated vendors and just like myself we are new to this process and system. My question here being, using Acumatica is there  a way to register each individual part number a purchasing group or MRP controller much like SAP to better maintain material requirements.

Hello @cervantes09 , Welcome to Acumatica community!

There is no need to apologize! I ask lots of questions only so I can provide a better answer.

I think it’s a good idea for your growing company to consider placing one person or a group of people in charge of smaller groups of stock items.

Consider using Acumatica Approval Maps to route every new Purchase Order to the appropriate personnel, to avoid duplication.

Perhaps training/re-training is needed, with documented work-flow steps so that Purchasing Staff and Accounting users are educated: they will know how to find out whether an order has already been placed.

Look at YouTube: it’s another wonderful resource for learning and for ideas on getting the most benefit from your Acumatica.

Hi, quick back story here is.

A variety of part numbers where created and were previously  managed by one person (start up company) we are reaching quantities by the thousands and bringing on additional team members to take on some of the responsibilities. 

the way the current active part numbers are set up/ managed there are no indicators/parameters in place to stop form duplicating a purchase of the same material. 

i apologize in advance I am new to this ERP and forum.
