The Sage 200 Suite includes:
Manufacturing
Sage 200 Manufacturing can help you solve your business constraints
in a number of areas, with core functionality that will help you
improve your competitive edge. It can support your shop floor in
many ways, including managing multiple Bills of Materials (BOM)
easily. Multiple versions of a BOM can be stored and used, one of
which is 'live' at a given time.
With powerful Version control, only one person can edit or change
a BOM at any time, and other users are aware that a BOM is being
edited. Full change history is stored for each BOM. Old BOMs can
be marked as 'Dead', 'Obsolete' or 'On Hold'. Obsolete BOMs can
be revived but not built from, and Dead BOMs can be permanently
deleted if required.
Operation templates and BOM copy function
The copy option allows you to quickly create a Bill of Materials.
Operations comprise the labour and machines processes required to
manufacture a finished item or sub-assembly. You can enter operations
details individually each time you create a new BOM, or create a
library of operations stored as templates in the Operations Register
for subsequent use within BOMs.
Improves efficiency by allowing you to save time when entering
new BOMs.
Flexible build options
Sage 200 can be configured to always build sub-assemblies, or always
use from stock, or allow choice in each case. You can manage products
with multiple units of measure. Picking lists can be produced at
the time of allocation or separately. Multiple finished items can
be included in stock calculations and allocations to ensure finished
goods that have similar constituents of another assembly cannot
use each other's raw materials. Sage 200 Manufacturing also supports
'Phantom' BOMs so you can create intermediate items that are never
held stock in stock but are standalone constituents of another finished
good.
Customised BOMs and 'Specials'
Users can replace individual items, add new items or amend quantities
of existing items. A 'Partial Build' feature means that if for some
reason you don't need to build all the items that raw materials
have been allocated for, you can enter the quantity you have actually
built. In addition, for expedited builds, Sage 200 can cope with
the situation where finished goods are built without first allocating
raw materials.
Precise costing
Detailed costs can be built in for each unit or build run. You can
assign labour and machine time for each assembly process to ensure
accurate costing. Additionally, you can allocate a proportion of
a fixed cost/operating overhead to a run, based on an average number
of units per run.
If a component changes, the rolled-up costs can be calculated automatically
if desired. For components that do not use the standard costing
method, Sage 200 will re-calculate the rolled-up cost of the finished
goods upon allocation.
Full batch and serial number processing
If your processes involve issuing a batch number or serial number
to finished products, our software can record this, enabling you
to trace it to the customers who received it. Sage 200 automatically
maintains essential quality standards and detailed traceability.
Produce quotes for multiple batch sizes
You can build up an estimate using a variety of quantity breaks.
You can alter the quantity and quickly see how the totals are affected.
You also have the ability to cost the estimate and print the estimate
details for any/all of the quantity breaks that you have entered.
Save time by using the same estimates to reflect different quantities
and calculate the different costs. For example, by creating an estimate
for 1000, 5000 and 10,000 of a particular item.
Rapid order entry
The rapid order entry feature allows you to create estimates quickly
and speeds up the creation of multiple estimates. Allowing your
customer-facing staff to create quotes quickly and easily over the
telephone.
Automatic creation of Purchase and Works Orders
The Sage 200 MRP recommendations to 'make' and 'buy' products can
be amended, filtered and sorted, combined or spilt and then actioned
to automatically create Purchase and Works Orders.
Improves efficiency by saving time and eliminating the need to
manually key data.
Powerful stock projection facility
View a list of predicted stock for all or a range of products in
each time period. If Sage 200 is using multiple locations, you can
also look at a range of products from an individual warehouse. You
can see stock predictions for products below minimum level, those
with negative stock, or those above maximum level.
Gives you the advantage of identifying potential problems before
they arise by providing full visibility and control over future
stock levels.
Actuals vs. Estimates/Standard
- View the costs entered and see the variance against what you
had estimated for an operation.
- Provides you with accurate costing and calculation of a job's
profitability.
- Tight integration with Sage
200 Financials and Commercials.
- Your manufacturing staff have complete visibility of the entire
production process - from the original Sales Order to Works Order
Processing and Work in Progress to finished goods in the warehouse.
- Stock use can be summarised to a single line for each nominal
account when posting to the Nominal Ledger, or split out to multiple
lines by component. Summarising nominal postings significantly
reduces the volume of Nominal Ledger transactions, improving performance.
Once armed with your business aims and budget allowances we will
recommend the solution options most suitable for you. If you would
