ERPAG
by ERPAG
A broad small-business ERP covering manufacturing, inventory, purchasing and sales, with multi-level bills of materials, serial and lot tracking with expiry dates, and five users included in the entry price.
Why it is classified this way
We call this a Manufacturing ERP product. A broad business system (accounting, sales, purchasing) with a substantial manufacturing or planning module attached.
It is not labeled Full MRP because we have not verified that it 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 ERPAG does on each (2 of 6)
- YesIt represents a bill of materials, recipe, or formula.Evidence: erpag.com(opens in a new tab)
- YesIt accepts dated demand, sales orders, a forecast, or a master production schedule.Evidence: changelog.erpag.com › Erpag changelog 31122020(opens in a new tab)
- PartialIt nets that demand against stock on hand and orders already incoming.Not established. Backed only by a limited source (a vendor video from before 2023, source code, an old blog post or a single marketing line), which can fill the table but cannot pass this test.
- UnknownIt explodes requirements through at least one level of the bill of materials.Not established. No evidence found yet.
- 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.
- PartialIt produces dated buy, make, transfer, release, or reschedule recommendations.Not established. Only partly shown: the evidence covers some of this but not all of it, so the test is not established.
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
- Small manufacturers who need five seats and a broad feature set on a tight budget
- Shops needing lot, batch, serial and expiry tracking without an upgrade path to reach them
- Businesses running QuickBooks or Xero who want two-way document sync
Not a fit when
- Anyone needing verified time-phased planning
- Shops wanting a documented planning calculation before committing. The manual shows the screens but not how the fulfillment engine works out its suggestions
- Teams that need the API on a budget, since only the $199 Advanced tier includes it

Pricing detail
Three tiers, each including five users, with "$9/mo each additional user" beyond the five. Every tier starts at a $49 "special discount" for the first three months. After that the page says Basic is $99/mo, Professional $99/mo and Advanced $199/mo. Database storage is capped at 10 GB. Manufacturing management is ticked on all three tiers. The tiers differ by more than users and storage: Basic leaves out live support, customization, the customer portal, automation and the API, and Professional leaves out the customer portal, automation and the API. Only Advanced includes the API.

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. | Yes | Sales orders carry a deadline, per the changelog: "Edit Sales Order deadline via bulk action" The manual does not say whether the fulfillment engine uses that deadline.Reviewed October 9, 2026. Source: changelog.erpag.com › Erpag changelog 31122020(opens in a new tab)Question this |
| Nets against stock on handIt subtracts what you already have before telling you to buy more. | Yes | The homepage says the fulfillment engine will "Order missing items based on demand and inventory rules". In a vendor sales demo (2020 video), "the system does an automatic comparisons of stock and it will compare what you do have in stock with the demand from the customer", on sales orders and again when a work order is launched, and missing items go to the purchasing fulfillment list. The demo does not show whether stock already on purchase orders is subtracted.Source: erpag.com(opens in a new tab); Vendor video, 2020, at 14:43(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. | Yes | From a 2018 vendor blog post: "Since "committed" is not greater than "awaiting" the fulfillment will be empty, i.e. there will not be an unnecessary ordering of goods." Open purchase-order quantity ("awaiting") is netted before the fulfillment list suggests more. A 2018 blog post, so it fills the table but does not count toward the Full MRP label.Reviewed October 9, 2026. Source: Vendor blog, 2018(opens in a new tab)Question this |
| 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 | A product-level shipping days field moves a purchase order's expected date. The manual lists: "Expected date (this date moves forward if you populate the ‘shipping days’ field in the product)" We found nothing showing lead time moving a suggested order date or a work order start date.Reviewed October 9, 2026. Source: learn.erpag.com › Open purchase orders(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. | Partial | An "automatic fulfillment engine" orders missing items from demand and inventory rules, but the fulfillment list is an undated snapshot of what to order. The vendor blog says "Each document that is created through "fulfillment" has a date "expected" which is calculated depending on the "shipping days" from the item definition." That is a forward arrival date, not an order-by date worked back from need. A 2018 vendor blog post adds that dates run forward from today plus the item's shipping days; the sales-order deadline is not used to work back.Reviewed October 9, 2026.

| Multi-level BOMSub-assemblies inside assemblies, a part that is itself made from other parts, nested as deep as you need. | Yes | "Multi-level bill of material" is stated on the homepage, and the manual shows sub-assembly shortages turning into make suggestions: "if you are producing a multi-level BOM product, and your quantity status appears as 'no quantity' or 'partial quantity' for the parts (sub-assemblies) you are producing, and not purchasing from your suppliers, those items will appear under manufacturing > fulfillment."Reviewed October 9, 2026.

| Routings & operationsThe ordered steps a product goes through, and which machine or station does each one. | Yes | A routing is its own item type made of work operations and attached to BOM products. The 2020 changelog says: "For simplicity, we included a new item type – „Routing“. It consists of work operations. And it can be only used in BOM based items. Note: Currently we don’t support multi-level routing."Reviewed October 9, 2026. Source: changelog.erpag.com › Erpag changelog 05262020(opens in a new tab)Question this |
| Shop-floor trackingOperators report progress, time, and completions as the work happens. | Yes | The ERPAG mobile app lets operators load materials, receive finished products and log time against work operations.

Manufacturing projects sum estimated and actual cost, and landed cost can be added to purchases, but the manual documents no cost of goods sold report.Reviewed October 9, 2026.

Openness & your data
Getting data in, out, and away if you leave.
| Capability | Finding | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| APIA documented programming interface so other software can read and write your data. | Partial | The API reference says "API features are only available to certain ERPAG plan packages", and the pricing page strikes "API (Smart API)" through on Basic and Professional, so only Advanced at $199 a month includes it. That tier split is read from the pricing page's row styling. In a 2025 vendor demo, an API user is set up with a key and secret and API scripts you write inside ERPAG return JSON to GET requests; the endpoints are scripts you build yourself rather than a fixed, published API reference.Reviewed October 9, 2026.

Editorial notes and cautions
Things we would want a friend to know before buying.
- Five users at $99 a month after a three-month $49 discount is still a strong entry offer. Weigh it against MRPeasy, where five users on the Starter tier cost $245.
- The $49 Basic rate is a discount for the first three months only; the pricing page says Basic then costs $99 a month, the same as Professional. Budget on $99.
- Feature claims are broad, and the manual at learn.erpag.com shows the screens but not how the fulfillment engine calculates. Use the fifteen-day trial to check the ones you depend on.
Alternatives to ERPAG
An alternative is always an alternative for a reason. There is no universal replacement.
- MRPeasyStronger true MRP
ERPAG bundles five seats into $99 a month after a three-month $49 discount, where MRPeasy charges $49 per seat, but MRPeasy documents its planning calculation and ERPAG does not.
Compared on Kladana's page, where we wrote: "ERPAG connects to QuickBooks and Xero itself and includes manufacturing in its plans, rather than through a paid connector and a separate module."
Evidence and verification
Capability evidence comes from the vendor's main site, the ERPAG manual at learn.erpag.com, the product changelog and the vendor blog; the tier ladder and per-seat cost from the pricing page. The pricing page ticks "Manufacturing management" on all three tiers. Its excluded features are struck through in the page styling, which is how the API was placed on Advanced only. The page is internally inconsistent on Basic, reading $49 then $99 a month while Professional is $99 a month.

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.
- Confirm capacity planning and cost of goods sold reporting. Neither is mentioned in the manual, the manufacturing page, the pricing feature matrix or the changelog, so confirming either needs a trial.
Still unknown: capacity planning, recipes & formulas, webhooks, mcp support.
