Application Module Overview
General Ledger
A complete multi-company, multi-currency general ledger system. It supports three levels of interdependent account structure: Enterprise, Business Unit, and Department. In addition to flex budgeting and account forecasting features, the general ledger module supports recurring journals, pre-post maintenance, unposting of journals. Standard financial statements and user defined reporting (in the form of a simple financial report writer) are provided. The user definable balance sheet analyzer allows quick, easy analysis of the pulse of the company with data and/or graphical displays.
Accounts Payable
This fully integrated module supports multi-location purchasing and payables activity. Cash requirements tracking and discounts lost accounting are exceptional cash management tools. It provides complete check processing, voucher management, recurring vouchers and check reconciliation. Form 1099 report is available. Three-way match with purchase orders and receiving with user defined tolerances is available.
Accounts Receivable
Invoicing can be driven by shipments or one-step invoicing can apply. The credit management features and variable customer aging provide for fast, efficient management control of receivables. It includes automatic tax, discount and commission calculations and multi-bank receipts with optional automatic cash application.
Sales Order Management
With fully integrated credit management features, extensive pricing and commission schemes and sales analysis reporting, this module is well suited for pure distribution companies. It includes customer complaint processing, forecast consumption and effective promise control tools. Models and options are supported into the manufacturing process. Unique bills of material and network routings may be generated from the sales order. Purchase orders may be created directly from a sales order and linked to the sales order.
Lead Management
Prospect and lead management has the ability to track and schedule all contacts with a prospect, as well as monitor forecast targets and the history of collateral provision. Inquiries are available by various user defined fields. Mailing labels and prospect information sheets can be printed as required. Customers may be created directly from prospects without re-keying any data.
Purchasing
Multi-vendor per item quotes and comparisons are critical in determining a preferred vendor. Once approved, requisitions are easily converted to PO's. This module is multi-organizational and provides an enterprise wide purchasing solution. It includes blanket orders with various release options and master PO's. Three way match is available with receiving, purchasing and accounts payable. Individual purchase order lines may be scheduled for multiple drop points and dates.
Point Of Sale
The POS module is integrated with order management, accounts receivable and inventory. It features: multi-store with multiple cash drawers per store; cash and charge customers; expanded credit checks with bad check warnings; extended store, enterprise and contract pricing; fast item lookups by vendor, customer, package, description, etc. It includes daily recap and check, credit card and cash banking and management reporting.
Inventory Management
A multi-warehouse, multi-bin location system offering perpetual inventory reporting, ABC analysis, cycle counting and full transaction history detail. This module includes full lot and serial control with cradle to grave lot trace. Lot/Serial includes automatic number assignment options and issuing algorithms. Inventory trial balance reports detail dollars for opening and ending balances and activity per item per month. Includes re-order point planning process.
Distribution Replenishment
This module provides for retail and distribution center replenishment with order/ pick/ pack/ ship/ receive tracking. It may be used in conjunction with master schedule and forecasting or as a reorder point system or both.
Material Requirements Planning
Supports multiple plant planning. A bucketless planning system which allows user defined time buckets and user defined lag-time between scheduled receipt and inventory availability. Reports and screens are flexible and simple. MRP generates production schedules or planned orders according to each item's defined manufacturing method. MRP includes optional directional rescheduling of released non-firm orders.
Master Production Schedule
The master production schedule module has a bucketless multi-warehouse, multi-plant capability and is designed to set production schedules in a just-in-time, make-to-order, make to stock, or repetitive environment. It includes statistical forecasting and multiple simulations. The master schedule generates production schedules or planned orders according to each item's defined manufacturing method.
Repetitive / Just-In-Time Production Scheduling
The production scheduling and reporting module provides a simpler method of planning, scheduling and reporting manufacturing activity than that offered by the work order management module. Daily production schedules may be prepared in advance of production and reported against, or production may simply be reported as it occurs with no supporting schedule. There is no "hidden work order" number to identify production runs, this is done by end item, lot number and date. Fully supports the work cell manufacturing concept with backflush done from multiple backflush locations.
Routings And Work Centers
Track vendor operations, machine set-up and run time and fixed and variable overheads in the same maintenance for easy routing creation. It includes revision control and standard operations. Operations may be scheduled simultaneously with multiple operations and then return to sequential. Unique networked routings may be created from modular customer orders. Crews may be established for use in production schedules.
Capacity Planning
Capacity planning operates continuously within the database without any user intervention required. As production plans are entered into the repetitive schedule or planned work orders are created, the complete capacity requirements plan is updated transparently. As planned production is scheduled and in turn completed, the capacity plan is automatically updated to reflect the current status.
Production Tracking
Once work orders are released, production tracking provides the tools to collect labor transactions, track work-in-process material and to track material transactions between work centers. The data feeds the job cost system within work order management. It includes critical ratio and other prioritizing tools. Planned and released capacity requirements by day are maintained automatically by work center and production line.
Tool Tracking
Fully integrated with work order management, this module provides the user with tool usage history and current status. Shop paper shows setup changes and maintenance needed.
Work Order Management
A comprehensive foundation for a complete shop floor control system, this module tracks adjustments to work orders, reports job costs and controls material receipts and requisitions. The module allows for delivery to operations, supports material backflush by operation or work order and labor pay-points with labor backflush. It includes automatic work order release and purchase requisition release. Supports operation rescheduling. Work orders may be generated from sales orders for order line items or modular orders with multiple level routings and bills of material. Reschedule on one operation triggers a complete reschedule of all open operations on the order.
Product Structure Processing
Supporting unlimited levels of bills-of-material and multiple items per bill, this module is designed with key engineering features such as effectivity date control and part references. It includes full product costing system which allows multiple cost roll-ups and stores them for reference, comparison and reporting. Phantoms are identified by bill of material. Unique bills of material may be generated from a configured customer order and a single work order generated.
Manufacturing Quotations
Quotations are prepared using quote module data, live system data or both transparently. Labor, commission, burden, markup and price are manipulated on-screen for quick quote development and analysis.
Bar Code Data Collection
The bar code data collection module is a fully integrated multi-user configurable product for the collection of data from its point of origin such as the shop floor, receiving, stores and shipping.
