Can We Assemble and/or Manufacture Products?

Yes.  Our Manufacturing and Production Order Management System allows for complete inventory automation and cost accounting for items that are manufactured with no more than 99 sub-assemblies.  Not only does it support build-to-stock, but also build-to-order by allowing certain production activities to be started directly from the time of order entry.  Our system is best for short term production in which it does not take months to get materials in and subsequently months to build the finished good.  Companies that have long lead and production times require the resource planning timelines of a much more expensive MRP system.  Select Here for more information about our Manufacturing and Production system.

Does Inventory Support Multiple Warehouses?

Yes, each inventory item stocked at a different location will have a separate inventory record. Separate warehouse locations are designated by adding a two-digit location code to the inventory item record.  When a new inventory record is created, you will be prompted to select the warehouse location. Upon selecting the warehouse, the two-digit extension is added to the part number. Example: WIDGET-01 where the -01 might represent a warehouse in Chicago, IL. If your company has many different warehouses, this functionality may not be preferred since there is a unique inventory record for each location.  Much more expensive systems use a different approach in which a single inventory record exists with the respective quantities for each location.
