MISys SAE Manufacturing System - Level 2

When the time is right, move up to Level 2, which adds production control, master production scheduling (MPS), and material requirements planning (MRP) capabilities.

Create Manufacturing Orders

• Create manufacturing orders based on standard bills of material.
• Create manufacturing orders directly from Advantage sales orders.
• Associate jobs with manufacturing orders for detailed cost analysis.
• Edit manufacturing orders to create custom job orders.
• Allocate special items such as labor, supplies, and tooling to customize manufacturing order.
• Attach word processing files to provide unlimited amounts of online documentation.
• Attach pictures (all popular formats supported).
• Create and link child manufacturing orders to any parent manufacturing order.
• Copy previous orders to speed up amending order generation.
• Print internal manufacturing order approvals and multi-page production manufacturing orders and travelers.
• Analyze standard, projected, and actual job costs with performance variances.
• Create detailed manufacturing order pick lists.
• Pick partial or complete manufacturing orders.
• Complete support for Stock, WIP, and Reserve stock with automatic backflush.
• Back-flush complete or partially completed manufacturing orders.
• Automatically adjust raw materials based on actual production yield.
• Special handling of non-backflush type items.
• Record scrap resulting from specific manufacturing order processing.
• Expedite and close manufacturing orders at any time with automatic cleanup of partially committed material.
• Transfer completed items directly to ACCPAC finished goods inventory.

Produce Master Production Schedules

• Create a Master Production Schedule (MPS) for any planning horizon.
• True bucketless scheduling with user-defined period number and size.
• Save and re-open multiple production schedules.
• Maintain a pool of active production schedules.
• Share production schedules among MISys/2000 workgroup users.
• Include or ignore current inventory, purchase order, and manufacturing orders in MPS.
• Create and maintain batches of scheduling events.
• Fix production start dates and schedule forward to completion.
• Fix production completion dates and schedule back to start.
• Apply batches to MPS to simulate planned purchasing and production activity.
• Retrieve and schedule sales orders from Order Entry.
• Instantly spotlight shortages of raw materials and sub-assemblies.
• View master production schedule for all items, or items meeting specific stocking criteria.
• Drill down master production schedule to view item schedule on period-by-period basis.
• Drill down item schedule to view current and planned activity.

Analyze Material Requirements Plans

• Base material requirements on zero, minimum, or reorder points.
• Create Material Requirements Plan (MRP) based on results of MPS.
• Print detailed Purchasing Advice Report to show items which must be purchased in order to satisfy MPS.
• Purchasing Advice Report identifies available suppliers and suggests expediting existing purchase orders where appropriate.
• Print detailed Production Advice Report to show items which must be built in order to satisfy MPS.
• Production Advice Report suggests expediting existing manufacturing orders where appropriate.
• Create purchase orders based on quantities and dates indicated by MRP.
• Create production manufacturing orders based on quantities and dates indicated by MRP.
• Print MRP reports showing activity for all periods, active periods only, or net activity per item.
