Works Order Processing

Works order processing is fully integrated with the Enterprise stock control, bill of materials and financial modules. It also integrates with sales and purchase order processing.

Whether you are involved in simply configuring products to order or you need to manage the assembly of complex products over long periods of time, Exchequer Enterprise's Works Order Processing (WOP) provides you with the control and traceability you need to help you manage the supply of your products on-time and within budget.

Should a bill of material contain several other assemblies, the works order wizard gives you the option of automatically generating a chain of works orders for any sub-assemblies that may be required.
Issuing parts to a works order is simple and issue notes can also be printed to go with the goods. Component parts can easily be swapped with alternatives and unders/overs are easily managed. Bar charts at the bottom of each works order show the percentage issued and built.

In addition to being able to generate a works order directly from a sales order, you can also generate back-to-back purchase orders for any component shortages from a works order.
This unique and totally flexible feature also allows you to effectively allocate the purchase order to the works order, so that when the goods are received, they are automatically issued to that works order before becoming available to other transactions in the system.
Here the back-to-back feature is used to create a purchase order for any shortages on the works order.
A works issue is generated, which in turn will create a journal for work in progress.
