FEATURES – Discrete Manufacturing ERP
The Essentials pack includes functionalities that boost standard Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management, to provide solutions to common industry challenges:
Prodware accelerators for Finance and Supply Chain Management
The following Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management accelerators are also included in the Essentials pack:
PO Quantity Allotment
Organizations who need flexibility in how they split purchase order requests, find it frustrating with too much manual intervention in repeatable and timed PO administration. The accelerator helps save time by saving distribution rules by vendor, creating automatic distribution in post-MRP (Materials Requirements Planning) processes, and allowing users to manually launch planned orders using the rules in place.
Sales Kits
The accelerator helps manufacturers by providing a seamless link between inventory and sales; working with BOM assemblies and product lines in your Dynamics system, it allows the user to prepare the “kit” at the point of order and take the components out of stock immediately. At the same time, the “kit” can be added directly into the customer’s order.
Production Order Consolidation
The accelerator helps manufacturers’ productivity and accuracy, by recovering grouping criteria when POs are created; attributes of the launched Product, attributes of the components of the Production Order BOM (if can be inherited from the BOM) and attributes of Production Order range lines.
First Article Inspection
Achieve quality standards throughout your product inspection cycles without productivity loss. The software identifies the certification on the released product, with delay and type validation, blocks the process if the product certification is out of date and produces a list of out of date released products.
Item Life Cycle
The accelerator helps to organize, control and simplify data input, plus generate traceability via an audit trail of all data modification and inputs.
Rebate
The accelerator applies retrospective discounts via credit notes at the end of the financial period, identifying different rebate contracts with different percentage levels, dynamic generation of provisions attached to financial transactions and contracts and identification of invoices that fall within rebate contract frameworks.
Cash In Out
Manufacturers can achieve better cash flow visibility and control within your projects and sub-projects. The accelerator provides a projection of cash inputs and outputs on a project over time and to earn revenue with cash flow optimization.
Transport Cost
This additional software functionality is useful if the transport cost of goods sold have a big impact on your manufacturing business, or if you need to manage free of charge deliveries or would like to manage the mixture of free and chargeable transport costs in your sales processes.
Vendor Auto Evaluation
The manual entry of data in your standard Dynamics 365 system to assess supplier performance can slow down productivity, the Vendor Auto Evaluation accelerator helps by automatically feeding relevant fields from operational transactions, to assess selected vendors’ performance based on multiple criteria, (for example quality and quantity of materials and when delivered etc.).
Item Versioning
The manual entry of data in your standard Dynamics 365 system to assess supplier performance can slow down productivity, the Vendor Auto Evaluation accelerator helps by automatically feeding relevant fields from operational transactions, to assess selected vendors’ performance based on multiple criteria, (for example quality and quantity of materials and when delivered etc.).
