The robust Inventory Control System (ICS) 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.
- Permits your staff to define major lines, product lines, items, warehouses, and locations. Consignment stock and finished goods can all be tracked.
- Tracks inventory value by FIFO, LIFO, average, standard, list, last, or actual - simultaneously.
- Supports serial identification of paper (rolls, cartons, skids) with several methods: Primac-generated bar-code labels (label design is user-defined), home-grown labels (as long as they are code 39 or 3 of 9), or the use of paper mill labels. All are supported.
- All reports are available to print, view on screen, email or download to your desktop.
- Posts all inventory receipt transactions in real-time and makes them immediately viewable throughout the entire network.
- Allows users to create up to literally thousands of warehouses and locations (if needed). 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 for user-defined factory overhead when assigning value to material transactions.
- 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 default 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 raw material items to be reserved for a specific customer at all times (optional).
- 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 in units of measure and in dollars.
- 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 (pounds or sheets).
- Provides an efficient and accurate physical inventory counting process. The system's division by warehouse allows the customer to take cyclical inventory counts without having to freeze the warehouse.
