Opera 3 doesn't just generate sales documents; it also checks for customers' special price lists, discounts and credit limits. It provides back-to-back order processing with Purchase Order Processing and part-progression of documents in the sales cycle. It offers batch processing of documents with the ability to e-mail all documents within the sales cycle, and a Repeat Invoice facility, to help you save both time and money. And as if all that wasn't enough, it also offers a Global Price Changes utility, making it easy to maintain pricing information.

Opera 3 simply and swiftly generates all documents for the whole purchase process from start to finish. Purchase Documents give greater control over the organisation of Purchase Orders in your business. Multiple supplier documents can be optimised to create a single document for progression to a purchase order. Matching receipts and supplier invoices back to the purchase order gives you control over stock and financial management. The Supplier Product File links stock items to supplier records, remembering supplier references, cost prices, economic order quantities and lead times, so you don't have to.

Opera 3 takes various costing methods and multiple warehouses in its stride. It allows you to apply different cost and selling prices, with minimum stock and re-order levels for each warehouse, meaning you can arrange your stockholding exactly how you like. Stock Control works with the Stocktake application that also caters for traceable items, and a Global Price Changes utility which makes it really easy to maintain pricing information for stock items. GRN and RTV processing comes as standard and provides a controlled and traceable process of receipting or returning stock, and you can also create Quarantine warehouses to hold goods prior to being moved into stock.

Opera 3 provides fast and accurate manufacturing information including work in progress, assembly structure detail, batch/serial item location and assembly cost reports. It features automatic works order generation from sales orders or re-order levels, batch works order progression and a comprehensive enquiry facility. Assembly structures can be as simple or as complex as you require, including sub-assemblies and components such as raw materials, labour or description only. Further flexibility is supplied by the Kitting function, which allows works orders to be raised and the build quantity of the finished assembly to be moved into stock in a single posting.

New functionality has been added to Supply Chain Management to improve the costing and accountability when purchasing stock, particularly from overseas suppliers. Landed Costs are the additional costs incurred in getting goods you purchase from your supplier to your premises; this can be seen in the short introduction video which Pegasus have released. This functionality is available with Pegasus Opera 3 version 1.30, where there is now even more available with this complete business solution.
