Software for Manufacturing Organisations

SAP Business One for Manufacturing

CRM

Robust and easy to use CRM functionality

providing opportunity, sales and service

management.

Quotation & Sales Control

Improve quoting and order management in your

company. Using the robust calculation tool, price

calculations are fast, flexible and dependable.

With the fast MRP calculation you can see the

production time of an item, based on the current

capacity. For standard items you can work based

on “available to promise”.

Bill of Resources

Different types of material and operations form

the basis of the bill of resources. Work centers

are integrated in operations and capacity

information is transparent (setup times, job

times, teardown times etc.).

Calculation

Bills of resources and production orders can be

calculated in various ways. You can easily create

multiple cost schedules, at your own definition

with any formula. This offers a rich and flexible

calculation of costs. Based on the cost schedules

you can define price schedules. Based on the

various lot sizes you can calculate costs, prices

and process them into price lists.

SAP Business One for Manufacturing offers an unparalleled combination of functionality for organisations

with a focus on discrete and repetitive manufacturing. The solution has been specifically designed to

meet the demanding requirements of these organisations. The result is a flexible and tightly integrated

software solution, with rich functionality, that is very easy to use.

For companies with a need of extensive but easy to use manufacturing functionality, SAP Business One

for Manufacturing is the ideal solution.

Outsourcing

Powerful and easy to use outsourcing. In the bill

of resources you can define what amount or

percent should be outsourced and to what

supplier.

Make To Order

The standard production system works with

traditional MRP II runs to take care of all

production and purchasing needs. But if your

business requires a more customer-specific

approach then there is the MTO capability. Here

you can define per product how “deep” this MTO

effect goes through the bill of resources and you

can make separate MTO MRP runs to see the

production and purchasing needs based on sales

orders.

Production Planning

Automatic production planning in minutes. With

powerful and flexible algorithms the system plans

everything on an MRP II basis. This proven

method ensures smooth operation and optimal

use of all of your valuable resources.

The production planning is supported with a

graphical plan board from which you can drill

down for additional details.

SAP Business One for Manufacturing

Integration

Since all software functions are fully integrated, data need only be entered once, and duplicate data entry is eliminated. Once data has been inputted, the information can be used everywhere.

This means a fast and error free use of system data and a quick and accurate insight into all information.

Communication

The system is not only for internal

processes; External documents can be managed

as well and company documents can be mailed

directly from the system.

With the integrated B1i tools, web services can

be linked and/or data from other systems can be

integrated.

Production Data Capture

To get the real value of the system the PDC is a very powerful module. Here you can enter, in a very simple way, all the necessary data (start job, stop job, setup, breakdown, complete, partial, etc.). This data entry can be

done in different ways, so it meets your business

requirements. Available for terminals or web based. Procurement & Stock

Comprehensive material planning and

procurement functionality. Based on sales and

production needs, the system can

generate all relevant procurement orders.

Service

Manage the maintenance and repair of either

your own machines or your customers. Service

contracts and customer equipment cards are a

solid basis for reliable and profitable business.

Finance

Completely integrated financial administration

that gets fed from all relevant ERP components.

Automatic payment, extensive reporting and easy

to work with: everything you need for your

financial management.

Flexibility

Because of its modern structure SAP Business

One for Manufacturing is easy to implement and

offers lots of flexible possibilities. And, even more

important, it is adaptable during the complete

lifecycle.

As in time business processes change, the

software can be changed as well. SAP Business

One for Manufacturing ensures optimal business

support for many years.

SAP Business One for Manufacturing……

Step 1 Define operations

Operations are at the core of the solution.

Predefine them with the different work

centers, day shifts and shift plans. Add

how many minutes the operation will

take, with setup and teardown and safety

time. All necessary operational details

can be added.

Step 2 Bill of resources

Define the Bill of Resources (BoM+) per

end product or sub-assembly. Use

different types of material and pre-

defined operations. Specify the needed

time for each operation, depending on

different lot sizes. Add outsourcing and

routing information.

Step 3 Calculation

For each bill of resources or production

order you can do in depth calculations

based on different cost and price

schedules. See the differences in lot sizes

and add or update the various price lists.

Recalculation is easy and flexible.

...... in 6 steps

Step 4 MRP II

Perform real MRP II planning for your

production and purchase needs. The

system can generate the orders

automatically. If you use the MTO

functionality you can work with order-

specific MRP II planning. You can use

different MRP scenario’s for simulating.

The system allows for to-the-minute

planning.

Step 6 Production Data Capture

Enter the production data easily. Every

step in production can be selected for

detailed production progress overviews.

The production data can also be entered

on web terminals. After entering the

production data you have a perfect

insight in the differences between pre and

post calculation.

Step 5 Planning

The graphical plan board shows the

planned and/or released production

orders. You can see what operations are

pinned to a certain date and double click

for operation details. You can select work

centers, employees and tools to have a

complete overview of your capacity and

needs.

Benefits of SAP Business One for Manufacturing

Bills of resources are easy to use and duplicate. This makes recalculation easy and lets you try

out different product configurations.

Pre-define outsourcing in your bill of resources and easily change it there or in production orders.

This compensates for any acute planning or delivery problems.

Calculate in various ways with different lot quantities. Depending on a customer’s request you can

calculate costs and profits and update your customer’s price list.

From the graphical plan board you can “pin” different operations to fix the production order. Other

operations will be automatically adjusted to these “pinned” operations.

Work with production orders from the cockpit. Here you can make various changes in production

orders and see which orders have problems.

Extensive PDC (Production Data Capture) makes it easy to enter time, material use and finished

and rejected end products. Also available as a web version for ultimate flexibility, it is an easy to

learn and easy to use system that takes your business to the next level.

“MRP gives us the

opportunity to plan and

adjust in advance.

Automatic needs

assessment reduces

stress.”
