Time-Phased Inventory Projection
Get full control of the expected demand and supply events for a product with a proper projection that will let us know our inventory requirements.
Projected stock over time
View expected inventory levels based on incoming and outgoing stock movements.
Demand and supply events
Review the operations that will increase or decrease available stock.
Manufacturing component forecast
See expected raw-material availability for upcoming manufacturing orders.
Shortage visibility
Identify component shortages before they affect planned manufacturing.
Rescheduling Alerts
Respect your freezing horizon and get relevant rescheduling alerts to fix potential synchronization issues in your supply chain. Instead of reviewing every order manually, planners see only the situations where action may be required — especially useful in DDMRP environments, where execution stability must be protected while still responding to changes in demand, supply availability or supplier lead times.
Detect misaligned supply orders
Spot replenishment and procurement orders that no longer match current demand needs.
Anticipate timing issues
Identify potential timing problems before they impact service levels.
Respect the freezing horizon
Keep the defined freezing horizon intact and avoid unnecessary planning noise.
Forecast Consumption
Forecast Data
Use forecast data to compute requirements.
Monitor Real Orders
Updated system as firm orders come in.
Smooth Transaction
Shift seamlessly from forecast to real orders.
Maximize Reaction Time
Use forecast to gain more time to respond.
Manufacturing Orders (MOs)
Manage manufacturing orders end to end: check their status, track progress and modify information when needed.

Real-time Status Updates
Monitor live status of manufacturing orders, including in-progress and completed stages.
Backorders Management
Automatically generate backorders for partially completed production runs.
Batch and Serial Number Tracking
Assign and track batch or serial numbers to ensure traceability for finished products.
Return to draft
Revert confirmed and cancelled manufacturing orders back to draft to correct information.
Bill of Materials Management
BOM Creation and Management
Define multi-level BOMs for products, including sub-assemblies and raw materials.
Variant-Specific BOMs
Configure BOMs for product variants to handle different materials or processes for variations.
Cost Analysis
Calculate production costs based on the BOM, including raw materials, labor and overhead.
Routing Integration
Link BOMs to specific routes or work centers for streamlined production planning.
Work Centers and Operations
Work Center Management
Define and manage work centers with details like capacity, efficiency and operating hours.
Operation Scheduling
Schedule and assign operations to work centers, optimizing production flow.
Performance metrics
Track work center efficiency, cycle times and overall equipment effectiveness.
Resource Allocation
Allocate workers and machines to specific tasks to ensure efficient resource use.
Production Planning
Master Production Schedule (MPS)
Plan production activities based on forecasted demand and inventory levels.
Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
Automatically calculate material needs and generate procurement orders based on demand.
Demand Forecasting
Use historical sales data to predict demand and adjust production accordingly.
Inventory Integration
Real-Time Inventory Updates
Tracking inventory movements of raw materials and finished goods during production.
Scrap Management
Record and track scrap materials for analysis and loss minimization.
Stock Reservations
Reserve materials for specific manufacturing orders to avoid shortages.
Warehouse Routing
Configure routes to ensure raw materials are moved to work centers and finished products to storage efficiently.
Quality control
Quality Checks
Set up quality checks at specific stages of production to ensure adherence to standards.
Inspection Plans
Define inspection protocols for raw materials, in-process products and finished goods.
Non-Conformance Management
Log and track non-conformance issues, implementing corrective actions when needed.
Quality Alerts
Notify quality issues or required inspections to the team.
Cost Analysis and Reporting
Production Cost Analysis
Calculate costs for raw materials, labor, machine time and overhead to evaluate profitability.
Profitability Reports
Generate reports to analyze the profitability of specific manufacturing runs or products.
Waste and Scrap Analysis
Identify patterns in scrap or waste to improve efficiency and reduce losses.
Work Center Performance Reports
Assess the productivity and efficiency of individual work centers.
Automation and Efficiency
Automated Procurement
Automatically trigger procurement orders for raw materials when stock levels fall below minimum thresholds.
Work Order Automation
Automatically generate and schedule work orders based on production demand.
Barcode Integration
Use barcodes for real-time tracking of materials, operations and finished goods.
IoT Integration
Connect with IoT devices to monitor machine performance and automate data collection.
Manufacture Accounting
Track and control production costs with precision. Automatically capture direct materials, labor, and overhead as products move through the manufacturing process. Connected with real-time inventory valuation, your financial data is always aligned with operations.
Keep control of you manufacturing WIP account
When a manufacturing order is completed the following entries are created:
For the consumption of raw materials:
- Debit: Manufacturing WIP
- Credit: Inventory (associated with raw materials)
For labor and overhead:
- Debit: Manufacturing WIP
- Credit: Labor / Overhead
For the production of the finished goods:
- Debit: Inventory (associated with the finished product
- Credit: Manufacturing WIP
As multiple manufacturing orders get completed, the "Manufacturing WIP" account can easily become crowded, and controlling the account can become unmanageable.
In this context it is important that the Manufacturing WIP account debits and credits can be connected with the individual manufacturing order that originated it, and that the debits and credits associated with the same manufacturing order can be reconciled together.
