Last reviewed: June 2026
Keep system roles clear
ERP/MRP usually owns purchasing, valuation and planning. Know My Parts owns component-level readiness, movement and traceability context.
Direction depends on rollout
Some teams import part or supplier context, export availability or evidence, or start with file-based exchange before API integration.
Start with the operating question
The integration should serve a concrete workflow such as receiving, shortage review, reservation, production issue or evidence handoff.
