See what you've got, where it is, how long it'll last and what
it's worth. Physical and free stock quantities are continually
updated by supplier and customer orders, bills of
materials, deliveries and returns across any number of
locations, lots and bins. Flexible sub-analysis facilitates stock
grouping to handle sizes, colours and any other product families of
your choice, providing an intuitive system for analysis and
reporting.
Multi-dimensional analysis
You can allocate each item to a specific family or type of
product and then apply up to six levels of sub-analysis, for
example, location, colour and size. Bin locations can be handled
over multiple warehouses. Each form of analysis can be labelled to
suit the terminology used for each product line within your
organisation, creating an intuitive system for analysis and reporting. Quantity and
value is tracked and consolidated for each record, at every level
of sub-analysis, providing key information however detailed your
enquiry.
Full catalogue of information
Each stock item is identified by an alphanumeric code up to 25
characters long, a name and a multi-page description. It can be
further enhanced by a bar code, a serial number and a photograph or
graphic as appropriate. You have sufficient scope and flexibility
to describe each item as you would in a brochure or catalogue,
making it very easy for your staff to identify items that they're
handling or selling.
Order scheduling
See what you've got, where it is, how long it'll last and what
it's worth. The system monitors open sales orders, open purchase
orders and the 'required by' date on each order line and provides a
schedule of availability based on the flow of goods in and out.
EC-SSD & Intrastat
Each stock item stores its own commodity code, country of origin
and net mass. These details are used when generating Intrastat
Arrivals and Dispatch reports which can be submitted to HMRC in an
appropriate format.

Spending for survival
The recession might seem like a good time to stop buying big-ticket ERP systems. Gradient Consulting's Stephanie Snaith and Cathie Metcalfe question that logic, arguing that investment could be the key to emerging in a strength position.
