Does HublerX replace SAP MRP?

No. HublerX reads the material and demand data from SAP and runs a continuous reconciliation above it — surfacing gaps that the overnight MRP batch run misses. SAP MRP continues to run as configured; HublerX adds the real-time layer between batch runs.

How frequently does HublerX recalculate the material position?

HublerX recalculates the material position whenever any input changes — a new sales order is confirmed, a batch status changes, a PO delivery date is updated, or a work order is completed or paused. There is no fixed refresh interval; the position is always current.

What if a supplier updates their delivery date directly in the ERP?

HublerX monitors PO delivery date changes in the ERP in real time. When a buyer updates a PO confirmation date — or when a supplier EDI message updates it automatically — the material position is recalculated immediately and any resulting gap is flagged.

Can HublerX handle multi-level BOM requirements, not just direct material needs?

Yes. HublerX can explode multi-level bills of materials to calculate the full raw material requirement for a production plan — not just the top-level component. This is particularly relevant for operations with sub-assemblies or where a single finished goods SKU draws from multiple raw material streams.

Live MRP Against Confirmed Orders

HublerX runs material requirements planning continuously against confirmed sales orders, live stock positions, and inbound POs — so planners see the real material position now, not yesterday's overnight snapshot.
