Inventory Families and Groupings

Families and Groupings is an essential tool for any organization in a demand-driven environment allowing for the aggregated view, and manipulation, of both sales and forecasts and providing input to material requirements planning.

SYSPRO Inventory Families and Groupings provides the tools to arrange ‘collections’ of stock-keeping units (SKUs) into families and groupings of similar items. These collections provide a high-level view of items from which sales forecasts can be produced and the quality of the forecast measured.
