Handles discrete, batch and process manufacturing. Gives the user the ability to make changes to a work order on-the-fly and to adjust final component quantities used, including recording of byproducts.
The Multi Product Production (MPP) module is designed for organizations that routinely build multiple finished goods from multiple components with one manufacturing work order. Provides automatic and manual cost allocation options and fixed or variable quantity relationships between the components and the finished goods.
Engineering Change Orders and Revisions (ECO)Visualize quickly with a graphic selection tree for 'Planned', 'In Use' or 'Historical' ECOs/BOMs.
Serial and Lot Control provides you with the ability to trace components 'cradle-to-grave' from unlimited component levels through the parent item.
Router provides functionality and support for shop floor instructions through work centers and operations. It enhances current standard cost functionality and enables performance reporting for actual activities against planned. Item level operational needs differentiated between flat and run times. It calculates unit and batch costs and provides lead time offsets for MRP.
Shop Floor Control provides various work center and capacity planning tools. Work order status and capacity required to complete is available from production and sales order drill downs. Move a production work order along a predetermined or optional routing schedule where material, labor and overhead standard or actual costs are accessed for real time cost roll up to the GL or auto application to WIP GL accounts.
