South Africa
Sage MRP software for South African manufacturers
Keep Sage for the books, and run production in Miridia. Miridia, the supply chain automation platform, costs each bill of materials at the real purchase price, runs production with work orders, and plans the materials that you need. It connects to your Sage ledger, and it is priced in rand.

The short answer
Keep Sage for the books. Run production in Miridia.
Sage is strong in finance. Its ledger, VAT and statutory reporting are built for South African law, and a large partner network supports it. For production, each Sage product stops at a different point. Sage Accounting has no bill of materials. In Pastel and Evolution, bills of materials and manufacturing are add-on modules. A full MRP comes from Sage X3, from SDMO beside Sage Intacct, or from a third-party add-on.
In Miridia, the forecast reaches the purchase order. Miridia Planner forecasts each product, the forecast drives the MRP for each bill of materials, and the result is a draft purchase order for each supplier. Work orders, lots and BOM cost at the real purchase price are in the core platform, in the browser at every site.
You do not move your ledger. Sage keeps the finance, and Miridia sends it the products, the BOM costs, the customers and the invoices. If your Sage product needs a connector, our team builds it with you, and most companies go live in weeks.
Which Sage products include MRP?
Each Sage product handles production in its own way. Find the product that you run, and see what Miridia adds to it.
| Sage product | Production in Sage | With Miridia |
|---|---|---|
| Sage Accounting | No bill of materials and no manufacturing module. Sage's help offers a workaround. | Bills of materials, BOM costing and work orders, with a direct connection to Sage Accounting. |
| Sage 50cloud Pastel (Partner) | A Bill of Materials add-on module. It builds an item from its components and has a material requirements report. Production planning and work orders are not part of it. | Work orders that take a snapshot of the BOM, lots with expiry dates, BOM cost at a date, and purchase orders from reorder points. |
| Sage 200 Evolution | Bill of Materials and Manufacturing are separate add-on modules, with multi-level builds, work in progress and a material requirements report. MRP scheduling comes from third-party add-ons. Evolution is a Windows desktop application. | The same production functions in the browser, in one data model, with demand-driven planning in Miridia Planner and AI agents that watch stock and orders. |
| Sage 300 | Bills of material for assembly. A multi-level bill cannot use lot or serial items. Manufacturing orders come from third-party add-ons. | Multi-level BOMs with lot and serial tracking, and work orders in the core platform. |
| Sage Intacct | Kits in the core product. Manufacturing, MRP and work orders come from Sage Distribution and Manufacturing Operations (SDMO), a separate product that Sage launched in South Africa in 2024. | Production, stock and purchasing in one platform, with the full REST API in every plan. |
| Sage X3 | Full manufacturing: multi-level bills of materials, MRP across sites, and process manufacturing. A third-party estimate puts an implementation at 6 to 12 months. | The production functions that a small or mid-size manufacturer uses, live in weeks and priced in rand. |

Production
What Miridia does for production
BOM cost at a date
Miridia prices each component from its purchase price history on the date that you select, with pack sizes and units of measure handled. Multi-level BOMs roll up in full.
Work orders
A work order takes a snapshot of the BOM, so a later recipe change does not affect it. When it completes, Miridia posts the component use and the finished goods at the weighted average cost.
Material planning
MRP reports show the materials that production needs. With Miridia Planner, the demand forecast drives the MRP, and the purchase plan for each BOM becomes draft purchase orders.
Lots and expiry dates
A completed work order can create a lot with a lot number and an expiry date. Miridia warns you before a lot expires, and it suggests the lot that expires first when you pick stock.
Purchasing
Purchase orders from reorder points, with a preferred supplier for each BOM line. Goods received notes post the stock, and landed cost lines add shipping and duties.

Integrations
How Miridia works with Sage
Miridia does not replace the general ledger. Each system does the work that it does best.
Sage keeps
- The general ledger, VAT and statutory reporting
- Payroll
- Debtors and creditors
Miridia runs
- Bills of materials, BOM costing and work orders
- Stock at each location, with lots and serial numbers
- Purchase orders, goods received notes and transfers
- Demand planning, with Miridia Planner
Miridia syncs products with their BOM cost data, customers and invoices to Sage, and it maps BOM cost lines to GL accounts. Sage Accounting connects directly. The team connects Sage 200 Evolution and the other Sage products through consulting services.
When Sage is the better choice for production
Miridia is not the right tool for every Sage user.
- You assemble a few products from a single-level recipe, and the Pastel or Evolution bill of materials module already does it. A second system adds work for you.
- You run Sage X3 for process manufacturing across many sites or countries, and you want production and the ledger in one system.
- You want one vendor for finance and production, and Sage Intacct with SDMO covers your production.
- You need finite-capacity scheduling for a constrained work centre, or a manufacturing execution system (MES) that follows each unit through each step. Miridia does neither.
If one of these is true for you, tell us on the first call. We prefer that you learn it now, and not in the third month.
Move production in four steps
Your ledger stays where it is. Production moves to Miridia, and Sage gets the results.
-
Map your production
On a discovery call we list your Sage product and modules, your bills of materials, your sites and your channels. We agree which work moves to Miridia and which stays in Sage.
-
Export from Sage
Export your inventory items, bills of materials, stock on hand for each warehouse, suppliers and open purchase orders, with your sales history for the forecast.
-
Import and connect
We import your records and connect Miridia to your Sage ledger. Cost one of your bills of materials at your real purchase prices, and compare the result with Sage.
-
Run in parallel, then switch
Run both systems while your team checks the numbers, and switch on the day of a stock take. Then stop the Sage production add-ons that you no longer use.

Questions
Is there a product called Sage MRP?
Not in South Africa. Sage 100, a US product, had an MRP module, and Sage replaced it with Inventory Requirements Planning in 2019. In South Africa, each Sage product handles production in its own way, from no bill of materials in Sage Accounting to full MRP in Sage X3. The table on this page compares them.
Can I keep Sage for my accounting?
Yes, and we recommend it. Sage keeps the general ledger, VAT, payroll and statutory reporting. Miridia runs the bills of materials, work orders, stock and purchasing, and it syncs products with their BOM cost data, customers and invoices to Sage.
Which Sage products does Miridia connect to?
Sage Accounting (Sage Business Cloud Accounting) connects directly. The team connects Sage 200 Evolution through consulting services. For Sage 50cloud Pastel, Sage 300, Sage Intacct and Sage X3, the team adds the connector through consulting services, and a connector that other customers can use is built at no additional cost.
Does Miridia replace the Sage bill of materials and manufacturing modules?
Yes. Miridia holds the bills of materials, costs them, and runs production with work orders. After you switch, you can stop the Sage add-on modules for bills of material and manufacturing that you no longer use. Keep the Sage modules for finance.
Does Miridia track lots and expiry dates?
Yes. A completed work order can create a lot with a lot number and an expiry date. Miridia warns you before a lot expires, and it suggests the lot that expires first when you pick stock for a work order or a shipment.
How much does Miridia cost in South Africa?
The Starter plan is R2,970 a month, and yearly billing saves 10%. Bills of materials and work orders are included. The advanced modules, such as Miridia Planner and AI Autopilot, are priced separately. The Enterprise plan has a custom price. You keep paying for your Sage licence for the books.
