Purchasing Control lets you create and print purchase orders, track purchased materials, maintain vendor information and predict your cash requirements. You'll know exactly what a part will cost, when you can get it, and from which approved vendors. This module provides information at your fingertips to help you make the most cost-effective decisions and accurately control all your purchasing requirements.
Shop Orders-Increase Labor Efficiency and On-time Deliveries:
- Automatically generate a pick list and an order routing for each approved shop order.
- Track standard runtimes and queue times for batch unit processes.
- Calculate operation due and start dates using backward scheduling.
- Maintain unique routings and bills of material for customized orders.
- Maintain and print standard routing data by operation for each manufactured part.
- Re-work parts back through the shop without impacting the balance of an order.
- Split a shop order to expedite part of an order through the floor, or change part numbers in the middle of the production.
- Automatically calculate operation start and due dates based on MRP planned order due dates, or you can optionally freeze operation dates to allow for your unique shop schedule.
- Separate total manufacturing lead time into plan, build and stock times.
- Standard routing notes allow you to add routing information that's specific to a part or generic notes for any part.
Post Operation Completion:
- Display load and queue by work center so you know exactly what it takes to finish a job.
- As each operator completes their portion of a job, they identify their actual run and setup times, how many units were completed, and where the job should go next.
- Track actual run and setup times to analyze against the standards.
- Post Scrap at the operational level to monitor production flow and work center productivity.
- Automatic generation of new orders to compensate for scrap above planned levels.
- Drill down on particular cells within the grid to view more detailed information.
- Auto Post feature saves valuable time by automatically posting the operation complete once the required data is entered.
- User preferences allow you to display only operation sequences that contain load.
