ACUMATICA MANUFACTURING OVERVIEW
Bill of Materials (BOM) Management
The Bill of Materials (BOM) management feature in Acumatica's manufacturing module allows users to create a comprehensive list of all the components needed for production, including raw materials, subassemblies, and finished goods. The BOM management system allows users to easily track changes to BOMs, such as modifications to component quantities or the substitution of one component for another. The BOM management system also provides real-time visibility into inventory levels and helps users plan production schedules more effectively.
Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Capacity Planning
Acumatica's manufacturing module includes Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and capacity planning tools, which allow users to plan production schedules based on demand and inventory levels. The MRP system considers all aspects of production, including the availability of raw materials, the capacity of production equipment, and the lead time required to produce each item. The capacity planning tool helps users to optimize production schedules and allocate resources effectively, reducing waste and increasing efficiency.
Work Order Management
The work order management feature in Acumatica's manufacturing module allows users to create, manage, and track work orders from start to finish. Users can easily create work orders for each item to be produced, including the specific components required, the production process, and any special instructions. The work order management system also provides real-time visibility into the status of each work order, helping users to identify bottlenecks and make adjustments as needed.
Routing Management
The routing management feature in Acumatica's manufacturing module allows users to create, manage, and track production processes and procedures. Users can define the steps required to produce each item, including the specific equipment and labor needed. The routing management system also provides real-time visibility into the status of each production process, allowing users to identify bottlenecks and make adjustments as needed.
Costing and Inventory Management
Acumatica's manufacturing module includes tools for costing and inventory management, which allow users to track the cost of production and materials. The costing system considers the cost of each component and the time required to produce each item, providing an accurate picture of the cost of production. The inventory management system provides real-time visibility into inventory levels, helping users to plan production schedules more effectively and avoid stockouts.
Quality Management
The quality management feature in Acumatica's manufacturing module allows users to track and manage quality control processes and procedures. Users can define quality control standards for each item, including acceptance criteria and inspection procedures. The quality management system provides real-time visibility into the status of each item, allowing users to identify quality issues and take corrective action as needed.
The Acumatica manufacturing module is fully integrated with the Acumatica ERP system, providing users with a seamless experience and real-time data accuracy. The integration allows users to access information from other parts of the ERP system, such as sales and customer data, while also providing real-time updates to other parts of the system, such as inventory and financials. This integration helps users to make informed decisions and respond quickly to changing conditions.
