Production, Bill of Materials, and Work Orders (MRP)

PURVEYOR has as excellent Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) system for Bill of Materials (production).

Production

• BoM quantities can be automatically calculated based on demand or multipliers employed for proportionate increases of quantities.
• Custom production can be made using ad hoc specifications.
• orders can be printed, showing the amount and cost of the beginning product(s), and the expected yield of each end product
• many raw materials can be specified yielding many end products and can support both perishables and hard goods production
• final work results can be printed showing actual yields and the distribution of the various costs
• lead times are checked before posting

• on hand
  
• incoming
  
• allocated
  
• available
  
• demand
  
• all in cases, boxes (units or lbs), and billing units (often exact lbs)
  
• and lead time
  

• the beginning product(s) have their inventory deducted, while each end product has its inventory incremented
• average costing is performed
• lot control is also fully supported
• product allocations (commitments) are updated and work in progress shows incoming product

• reports can be generated for P.O. Price Variance, P.O. Quantity Variance, Production Duration Variance Production Labor Variance, and Production Overhead Variance
• standard prices, hours, labor, and overhead can be automatically generated based on past history with the ability to exclude user-specified inventory and process records from the update, to make standard costing practical for those companies having long product lines
• Variances are computed and displayed before, during, and after production in the Bill of Materials (Production) Screen.

• the standard inquiry screen reports on production in process
• requirement and yield reports can be printed
• production orders can be printed
