InterAcct Software for Manufacturing
 |
The InterAcct Manufacturing system combines a multi level Bill of Materials with a job costing Production system – all integrated with the normal accounting functions. |
|
There are links to automatically create purchase orders, works orders, to reserve stock, and then to automatically issue materials to a production job. |
|
The Bill of Materials system will provide a costing on finished goods (and sub assemblies). It allows you to combine Materials, Labour, Machine Time, Sub Contractors, Overhead Recovery, and Sundry costs. |
|
There is the option to input daily production complete quantities to automatically issue and calculate the related Cost Items used. |
|
When considering the production of an item (to cover stock and/or sales order requirements), the system provides both gross and net material requirement plans, plus machine capacity. |
|
The focus is on speed of data input, accuracy, and simplicity. |
Manufacturing Software Features:
|
The first step in creating your Bill of Materials, is to add the Materials, Sub Assemblies, and Finished Goods as Stock items. |
|
Existing material stock can be reserved at any time, and pro-forma purchase orders created automatically for what is needed. |
|
For each "Make" item there is a Bill of Material (BOM) attached. |
|
Availability checks can be performed at any time to check whether all materials are available to start production. |
|
The Bill of Materials is typically a combination of Materials, Direct Factory Labour, Machine time, Sub Contractor charges, and Sundry costs (including indirect overhead recovery). |
|
Materials can be issued to the job from stock automatically. |
|
Materials can also be "Make" items. Calculations of quantities required can be Each, Linear, Square, or Cubic - with wastage factors added. |
|
As an option, you can input the actual production quantities each day, and InterAcct will calculate the labour time and materials used automatically. |
|
The current stock balance of materials is shown as an indication of what can be made. |
|
Variance analysis is shown between a job's budget and the actual cost items so that you may adjust the BOM accordingly. |
|
Graphic images can be attached to the BOM along with work instructions. |
|
As the finished stock item is completed production, it is transferred into stock. If related to a Sales Order, then this is updated to indicate it is now ready for despatch. |
|
To save time, a BOM can be used to copy and create another BOM - and them you simply modify the copy to suit. |
|
Another version of the BOM system has been created for Paint & Chemical manufacture - with both volume and weight formulations in batch quantities with differing packaging sizes. |
|
BOM can be automatically re-costed at any time - based on the latest stock cost information. |
|
There are numerous standard reports within InterAcct, and these can be personalised to suit. |
|
Production jobs for a manufactured stock item can be for stock, and/or for one or more sales backorders. |
|
The database of files, fields, and menus can also be personalised to suit individual requirements. |
|
The BOM is copied across to automatically create the production job's estimate. |
|
Material requirements can be shown gross, and "Net" of available stock. |
