Post-production
The system takes account for over and under production,
prompting you to take advantage of economies of scale while
ensuring your stock records remain accurate. Utilise back-flushing
for any or all of the goods used within your manufacturing process
and for a kanban supply system if required. Damaged materials and
unfinished goods can be written off. Certificates of conformity can
be configured and produced on demand and tailored to reflect your
own quality standards and those of your customers.
Writing off items
Both materials and finished goods can be written off if they are
damaged in production or do not meet your required production
standards. If a works order does not produce enough finished goods
to meet a sales order, you can either issue the components needed
to complete the order and production will continue as planned, or
you can mark the order as complete and produce a new works order
for the shortfall. Write off privileges can be restricted to ensure
you remain in control.
Keep track of discrepancies
The system accounts for over and under production of finished
goods, ensuring that your stock records remain accurate
post-production. In the case of over production, you can either
amend the original sales order to include the extra items (if your
commercial terms allow for this), or you can assign the extra items
to stock to be used later for the fulfillment of other sales
orders.
In the case of under production, you can amend the sales order
to reflect the lower quantity and call the order complete.
Alternatively, you can raise a further works order to make up the
difference and merge it with other works orders for the same
product to take advantage of economies of scale.
The system will automatically divide the cost of the total build
by the final number of finished goods created. On completion of the
works order the actual cost of production is used to move the stock
into finished goods.
Completion and quality control certificates
Certificates of conformity are available within the system
enabling you to produce the high quality paperwork that your
customers demand at any stage of the build. These documents can be
tailored to meet your individual product and design
requirements.
Backflushing
When orders require a large number of standard items, the
backflushing facility will automatically issue them for you, saving
time and effort. When the order is complete, the system will assume
that it has used the correct number of backflush components as
specified in the BoM. Any number and value of goods can be
accounted for - when operating a kanban supply system, your
backflush items will be booked out as container loads and accounted
for at the finished goods stage.
