Project Management Capabilities
Capacity management for planning capacity and sales, monitor resource usage, and assess profitability of your projects. A calendar system can be used to create detailed plans for resource capacity, availability, and planned costs on orders and quotes.
Managing multiple costs for resources and resource groups is crucial in project management. Expertly handle different cost structures like fixed costs, percentage-based costs, or additional charges to ensure accurate project costing.
Track tasks/jobs in project management, including usage and data for customer invoicing. Fixed-price and time-and-materials tasks are managed with task budgets, task-specific price lists, and multi-currency invoicing.
Task assignment to specific customers and flexible invoicing options are available in project management. Changes to the bill-to customer can be made when necessary. Get assisted setup guides, time sheets, and job journals streamline project management tasks.
The Project Manager Role Center provides access to common tasks, new charts, and active job lists. The Job page serves as a central hub for managing tasks, assigning ownership, and tracking costs and billings.
Time sheets for registering and tracking time spent on project activities. They can integrate with Service, Project Management systems, and include resource allocation, ensuring accurate recording and approval processes.
Service Management Capabilities
Service contract management: Establish agreements with customers regarding service levels. Maintain contract history, renewal information, and templates. Manage warranties for service items and spare parts. Record details on service levels, response times, discount levels, and service history for each contract. Measure service contract profitability and generate quotes.
Service item management: Keep a record of service items, including contract information, component management, BOM reference, and warranty details. Utilize the Trendscape Analysis feature to view key performance indicators for service items over different periods.
Service order management: Register and manage post-sales issues such as service requests, due services, service orders, and repair requests. Enable customers to initiate service requests or automatically create them based on service agreements. Keep a comprehensive history of service orders and quotes through the Service Order Log.
Service price management: Set up, maintain, and monitor service prices. Create price groups based on criteria such as service items, tasks, fault types, customers, currencies, or time periods. Define price calculation structures considering all relevant parameters like parts used, work types, and service charges. Automatically assign the appropriate price structure to matching service orders. Assign fixed, minimum, or maximum prices to price groups and analyze profitability statistics.
Manufacturing Process Management Capabilities
Standard Cost Worksheet: Company controllers can maintain accurate inventory costs using this reliable and efficient tool. It allows for standard cost updates similar to Excel spreadsheets without changing data until ready.
Product Bill of Materials: Bills of materials are created, and their standard costs are calculated. Different versions are tracked, and valid components for specific production batches are known.
Basic Capacity Planning: Capacities (work centers) are added to the manufacturing process. Routings for production orders and material requirements planning are set up. Load and task lists for capacities can be viewed.
Machine Centers: Machine centers are added as capacities, allowing for detailed management of capacity on a per-machine or per-production resource level. Default information about manufacturing processes can be stored.
Version Management: Multiple versions of manufacturing bills of materials and routings can be created.
Production Orders: Production orders are created, and consumption and output are posted. Net requirements are calculated based on production orders. Manual supply planning can be used as an alternative to automatic planning.
Automatic Components and Capacity Consumption: Routing codes are used to link components with specific operations, reducing data entry and providing accurate stock and work-in-progress information. Just-in-time principles are implemented to minimize waste.
Subcontracting: Operations can be delegated to external work centers. Separate locations and transfer orders are used to track raw materials, and performed work is registered with purchase orders.
Finite Loading: Capacity-constraint resources are managed using finite loading techniques. Capacity constraints are considered to avoid overloading work centers.
Scrap: Proper recording of scrap in the manufacturing process is crucial for inventory and cost management, even though it is inevitable.
Warehouse Management Capabilities
Levels of Warehouse Management: At each warehouse location, it is important to configure warehouse processes based on specific requirements. This includes deciding whether to use bins for organizing items, determining if the warehouse team should work with separate documents or update sales and purchase orders, and considering whether to treat picking and shipment as separate steps or combine them into a single process.
Bin: Bins serve as the smallest unit in the logical structure of a warehouse. Organizing the warehouse by assigning items to specific bins facilitates efficient inventory management. Using item journals, bins can be directly assigned to document lines, while default or fixed bins can expedite document processing, enhancing overall warehouse operations.
Bin Setup: To maintain an organized warehouse, it is necessary to set up and manage bins effectively. This involves defining the layout of the warehouse, as well as the dimensions of racks, columns, and shelves. Additionally, providing input for planning by defining bin characteristics helps streamline warehouse operations and improve inventory management.
Inventory Pick and Inventory Put-Aways: Efficient inventory management relies on creating pick lists from sales orders and put-away work from purchase orders. These lists assign tasks to the warehouse team, enabling them to complete picking and put-away work without the need to open sales and purchase orders individually. This streamlines the workflow and enhances productivity.
Warehouse Receipt: In a multi-order environment, managing warehouse receipts from a separate user interface is beneficial. Warehouse receipts can be used to create put-away work directly or utilize put-away worksheets to generate multiple put-away tasks. This simplifies the receipt management process and improves overall efficiency.
Warehouse Shipment: Similar to warehouse receipts, managing warehouse shipments through a separate user interface in a multi-order environment is advantageous. Creating picking lists from shipments or using pick worksheets streamlines the shipment process, ensuring orders are fulfilled accurately and on time.
Internal Pick-ups and Put-Aways: For internal purposes, such as testing put-away for production output, it is possible to create pick and put-away orders without relying on source documents like purchase orders or sales orders. This facilitates internal operations and allows for targeted handling of inventory within the warehouse.
Directed Pick-Up and Put-Away: Streamlining pick-up and put-away processes is essential for efficient warehouse management. Businesses can optimize their operations by receiving and putting away items in bins according to predefined put-away templates and considering zone and bin rankings for item picking. Using worksheets to move items between bins enhances the picking process and space utilization. Additionally, utilizing cross-docking minimizes time wastage while effectively dealing with different units of measure for the same items improves inventory management.
