Deskera MRP
by Deskera
A cloud MRP module from the Deskera suite with multi-level BOMs, work orders, WIP, yield and costing, sold per user with a five-user minimum. Its planning is described only on marketing pages.
Why it is classified this way
We call this a Light manufacturing product. Has bills of materials or recipes, consumes stock when you build, and tracks production, but time-phased planning is not verified.
It is not labeled Full MRP because we have not verified that it accepts dated demand, sales orders, a forecast, or a master production schedule; nets that demand against stock on hand and orders already incoming; explodes requirements through at least one level of the bill of materials; uses lead times or required dates; and produces dated buy, make, transfer, release, or reschedule recommendations. That is a statement about the evidence we found, not a claim that the product is weak, see the capability table and the sources below.
The six Full MRP tests, and how Deskera MRP does on each (1 of 6)
- YesIt represents a bill of materials, recipe, or formula.Evidence: deskera.com › Mrp(opens in a new tab)
- PartialIt accepts dated demand, sales orders, a forecast, or a master production schedule.Not established. Only partly shown: the evidence covers some of this but not all of it, so the test is not established.
- PartialIt nets that demand against stock on hand and orders already incoming.Not established. Only partly shown: the evidence covers some of this but not all of it, so the test is not established.
- UnknownIt explodes requirements through at least one level of the bill of materials.Not established. No evidence found yet.No public document describes how a planning run turns finished-item demand into component requirements.
- PartialIt uses lead times or required dates.Not established. Only partly shown: the evidence covers some of this but not all of it, so the test is not established.
- UnknownIt produces dated buy, make, transfer, release, or reschedule recommendations.Not established. No evidence found yet.
These rules are applied identically to every product and enforced at build time, a record cannot be published as Full MRP unless all six pass with a source attached. Read the methodology.
Best for
- Teams of five or more who want manufacturing, costing and work orders in a cloud suite that also sells accounting and CRM
- Process and discrete makers who need yield, scrap and by-product tracking
Not a fit when
- Small teams: the minimum Growth purchase is five users at $349 each, about $1,745 a month, plus a required setup fee
- Anyone who needs documented, dated MRP suggestions before buying; we found no public manual

Billing basis
Per user
What moves the real bill
- Priced per user. The monthly figure multiplies by every person who needs an account.
- Minimum 5 users. You cannot buy fewer seats than this, even if fewer people need access.
- Annual billing assumed. The advertised rate requires paying for a year up front. Monthly billing costs more.
- Onboarding fee. Required, price not published: "Cost shown does not include the required, one-time implementation and setup fees".

Pricing detail
The MRP tab lists Growth "starts at $349 per month per user (billed annually, for minimum 5 users)" with Job Management, Multi Level BOM, Work Orders, Yield Calculations and Manufacturing Reports, and Mid Market at $449 on the same terms, adding Demand Forecasting, Super BOM, Production Scheduling, Quality Checks and Contract Manufacturing. Enterprise is quote-only. Deskera's separate ERP plans start at $199 per user on the same terms. The plan cards do not say whether accounting comes with the MRP plans.

Planning
Working out what to buy or make, and when.
| Capability | Finding | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Accepts dated demandYou can tell it what is due and when, sales orders with dates, a forecast, or a production schedule. | Partial | Demand Forecasting, on the Mid Market plan: "Anticipate future customer demand and optimize inventory levels." How sales-order demand feeds planning is not documented publicly.Reviewed October 9, 2026. Source: deskera.com › Mrp(opens in a new tab)Question this |
| Nets against stock on handIt subtracts what you already have before telling you to buy more. | Partial | The MRP page says it will "Automatically generate purchase orders based on the current inventory levels" and set safety stock. No calculation is documented, so this reads as reorder logic rather than netting of dated demand.Reviewed October 9, 2026. Source: deskera.com › Material requirement planning(opens in a new tab)Question this |
| Counts incoming ordersIt knows about purchase orders and production orders already placed, so it does not tell you to order twice. | Unknown | Not yet researched. We would need: documentation showing open purchase or production orders included in the supply picture.Know the answer? |
| Uses lead timesIt works backwards from when you need something to when you must order or start it, using supplier and production lead times. | Partial | "Accurately track lead time for timely procurement of raw material". Recording lead time is claimed; using it to set an order date is not documented.Reviewed October 9, 2026. Source: deskera.com › Material requirement planning(opens in a new tab)Question this |
| Produces dated buy/make suggestionsThe output is an actionable list with dates, order this much by this date, start this batch on this date. | Unknown | Not yet researched. We would need: documentation or a screenshot of replenishment or planning suggestions carrying dates.Know the answer? |
| Capacity planningChecks whether your people and machines can do the work in the time available. | Partial | Production Planning: "Assign resources, set schedules and deadlines". Production Scheduling is listed on the Mid Market plan. No capacity check is described.Reviewed October 9, 2026. Source: deskera.com › Mrp(opens in a new tab)Question this |

| Recipes & formulasBatch-style production by weight, volume, or percentage, including scaling a batch up or down. | Partial | Process manufacturing is described ("combining and transforming raw materials"), with yield and by-product tracking, but no recipe or formula record is documented.Reviewed October 9, 2026.

| Batch & lot traceabilityWhich incoming material lots went into which finished batch, and where those finished goods went. | Partial | The Deskera ERP lot page: "Monitor the production and supply of each lot" and "trace components". It is an ERP page; whether the MRP subscription includes it is not stated.Reviewed October 9, 2026. Source: deskera.com › Lot batch and serial tracking(opens in a new tab)Question this |
| Expiry & shelf lifeBest-before dates on materials and finished goods, with warnings before they lapse. | Partial | The Deskera ERP lot page says you can "manage expiry dates".

Editorial notes and cautions
Things we would want a friend to know before buying.
- Everything here comes from Deskera's product and marketing pages. We found no public help center or user manual, so no planning claim is established and the six MRP tests are not met on this evidence.
- Several traceability and purchasing claims come from Deskera ERP pages; whether the MRP subscription includes them is not stated.
Evidence and verification
Why this record is not Verified. Held at partially verified on purpose: the record would pass the Verified coverage rules, but nearly every claim rests on marketing pages rather than documentation.
Researched 2026-09-19 from the MRP product page, the material requirement planning page, the pricing page and the Deskera ERP feature pages, read as rendered text. Held at partially verified on purpose: the record would pass the Verified coverage rules, but nearly every claim rests on marketing pages rather than documentation.

What we still want to confirm
We publish our gaps rather than hiding them. If you can point us at a first-party page for any of these, we will update the record and credit the correction.
- Find user documentation for the MRP run: demand inputs, netting against open orders, lead-time offsetting and dated suggestions.
- Confirm whether accounting, lots and purchasing are included in the MRP plans or need Deskera ERP.
- Get the implementation fee and the Enterprise price.
- Check API, webhooks and data export.
Still unknown: counts incoming orders, produces dated buy/make suggestions, api, webhooks, mcp support, csv export, full data export.
