Work Order

Work Order streamlines both the planning for and handling of material requirements on a work order. You can plan and track your costs to product items and keep your general ledger accounts and inventory quantities seamlessly integrated and in balance.

Work orders are a vital component of the daily operation of many organizations. Distributors and manufacturers alike often require the tracking of costs that go into producing a physical item or performing a service. When planning and handling of materials is required in either setting, knowing you have sufficient stock and when it will be available is a requirement to efficiently plan and execute your production plans.

Built to serve the needs of small to mid-size enterprises (SMEs), Work Order provides the full-featured capabilities needed to control costs and maximize profits, while being easy-to-implement and easy-to-use.

Inventory Integration
Planned Inventory Position reporting and inquiries provide the visibility of your inventory position on a date-specific basis. Work Order lets you know what your on-hand and available inventory levels will be on a specific date - allowing you to view the plans and actions that are responsible for those levels

Monitor Work In Process to Maximize Profits
With accurate, timely access to work-in-process while production is under way, Work Order provides the opportunity to take corrective action on a work order with impending cost overruns before its too late. Whatever your inventory valuation method, cost of production will be recorded accurately, and is fully integrated with the General Ledger.

Inventory Inquiry
Using Work Orders Inventory Inquiry gives you complete inventory visibility at your fingertips. With the click of the mouse, you can access all plan and action details for work orders, sales orders, and purchase orders. Inventory position by site, cost layers, and transaction detail is available from this powerful inquiry.

Work Order Inquiry
With Work Order Inquiry, you can easily evaluate the costs and profitability of your work orders and projects. This on-line inquiry program gives high level profitability and variance to budget analysis, with point and click drill down to account category, transaction detail and originating data entry screens.

Parent/Child Work Orders
Production activities are frequently multi-level in nature. Although a single work order may be used to collect the costs for all levels, it may be desirable to create a work order to build each subassembly, and roll the costs up to the next level. This approach provides for a more granular analysis of costs. In addition, where economies of scale dictate that a work order should produce more than a parent assembly requires, the excess production may be placed into stock, or on another work order.

Work Order delivers these additional features:

Integration with Project Management
Use of special inventory items to facilitate automatic cost application
Time-phased allocation of inventory
Staging control of work orders
Routings defining each production step are created from the engineering routing
