Engineering Change Order

The Horizons Engineering Change Order module, available for both Dynamics GP BE and AM (Std or Pro if on older versions of GP), allows the end user to effectively manage and track version level changes to Bills of Material and components, including item content changes, quantity changes and approved alternates.

The seamless integration of this module with the Horizons Manufacturing Suite (HMS) products and Microsoft Business Solutions Dynamics GP provides unparalleled control of change request events, Bill of Material changes and component level version control for small and mid-market manufacturers and distributors in fully or semi-regulated industries.

Organizations in life science, high tech engineering and other regulated industries such as food or medical device distribution will find that the ECO tools deep integration with the manufacturing process in production entry and both bill of material and item set up provides significant support for improved documentation and compliance control.
