Bill of MaterialsBuild and maintain BOMs in one visual workspace with all relevant information available, and maintain part information that enables product structure review from the top down or from the bottom up.

Inventory ControlTrack and maintain inventory balances for each part you stock, including finished goods, assemblies, component parts and raw materials. Improve on-hand as well as inventory turnover visibility to increase accuracy and reduce overhead.

MRPMaterial Requirements Planning (MRP) balances the supply and demand for all component parts needed to satisfy your Master Schedule.

Planning SimulationCarry out “what if” ATP (available-to-promise) simulations so you can test the impact of different material planning scenarios before you spend the time, resources and money to implement them.

Sales Order ProcessingEnter sales orders, ship and invoice products, satisfy customer inquiries immediately and ensure your sales team knows what’s happening with each order.

Purchasing ControlCreate and print purchase orders, track purchased materials, maintain vendor information and predict your cash requirements.

Shop Floor ControlCreate shop orders, track work-in-process (WIP), maintain work center information and analyze shortages and backlogs.

Costing with Multiple Cost SetsTrack cost variances for material costs, labor costs and purchase costs by part, order number, or by work center, and easily compare actual costs with planned costs.

KEY MANUFACTURING FEATURES

Lot & Serial TrackingControl and monitor, from receipt to shipment, the assignment of lot and/or serial numbers for components and finished goods.

Warranty TrackingManage the warranty process to track defects in product designs and generate repair or replacement orders efficiently.

Labor TrackingTrack actual work performed by your employees for specific work order operations, allowing your MRP software to act as a time clock and resulting in more accurate run and setup times.

Subcontract ProcessingTrack materials, shortages and overages through every step of the subcontract process. Each step has been automated, eliminating many manual transactions and ensuring you keep your subcontracted processes fully integrated into your business.
