“I have worked with Henrik Hella and love Material Planner for Business Central. This extension has transformed the lives of many of my clients who have experienced the pain of looking through all the order proposals in the planning proposal draft.”

Save Yourself a Ton of Time

You can easily filter items, for example by location, item number, item category, items sold by a particular supplier, projects, or item group. You can create projects or groups yourself in Material Planner. By filtering your search, you will receive results in a flash and see what you need to buy. Material Planner will also highlight items that require immediate attention.
