Features

• Permits your staff to define major lines, product lines, items, warehouses, and locations. Consignment stock and finished goods can all be tracked.

• Posts all inventory receipt transactions in real-time and makes them immediately viewable throughout the entire network.

• Allows users to create virtually an unlimited number of warehouses and locations. By utilizing alpha/numeric four character fields, the user can stock inventory with "intelligent" coding throughout a single warehouse via location or across multiple warehouses.

• Enables the user to forecast inventory needs, via data tracking, based on future raw material consumption for booked jobs. This historical data is easily exported to Windows®-based applications, such as Microsoft® Excel ®, for mathematical trending and forecasting.

• Allows full material accountability for three levels: direct factory overhead, fixed factory overhead, and variable factory overhead. This material accountability goes to the cost center level.

• Supports inventory tracking by location, by movement, and by shipment of consigned goods, semi-finished products, and finished goods.

• Tracks individual rolls and skids from their time of receipt into the warehouse, to point of transfer within the plant, through consumption in the pressroom.

• Allows the user to define the costing method by which inventory is received into the warehouse - FIFO, LIFO, average, standard, list, last, or actual.

• Allows raw materials to be made available to the general company or to only specific warehouses and plants.

• Allows the user to search inventory for paper items by approximate size. The user can search inventory by entering a base size and a plus/minus variance.

• Provides real-time data about all inventory on-hand, available, in-process (posted to WIP), reserved, and on-order. These items are shown for all locations, or by warehouse by location. Users can view additional detail by drilling down to see individual locations, specific rolls, jobs, receipts, historical usage patterns, purchase orders, etc.

• Tracks partially used rolls and slit rolls. All partially used rolls can be evaluated and received back into inventory. This allows the system to update quantity on-hand for an individual roll that has been either slit or partially used.

• Tracks the life of a roll after slitting it into several sub-rolls, with auto-generation of the sub-roll records and linkage to the original master roll. Allows users to reserve any on-hand paper units.

• Makes the physical inventory counting process much more efficient and accurate. The system's division by warehouse allows the customer to take cyclical inventory counts without having to freeze the warehouse. The system prints out a physical inventory sheet with stock items but without quantity. It is up to the user to provide the correct amounts and to cross check those amounts against the amounts in the system.

The Inventory Control System provides a user-definable account classification and category code structure. The system is structured to handle the corporation with multiple companies and divisions. This user-defined tracking level easily accommodates both small and large companies.
