What is Sage 200 Used For?
Works Order Processing (WOP)
Works Order records the manufacture of parts using components specified on the BoM or in the estimate.
- Works Orders can be automatically generated following a range of pre-defined activities such as raising Sales Orders, actioning recommendations in the MRP module, from the BoM Trial Kitting and by converting an estimate.
- Scrap or substitute traceable components for added flexibility.
- Enter progress and operation times retrospectively against Works Orders.
- Benefit from real time processing, logging in and out of jobs in accordance with your daily activities.
Sage 200 Bill of Materials (BOM)
The Sicon Manufacturing module uses the standard Sage 200 Bill of Materials module to create works orders. The BOM module may alone fulfil your requirements.
- From materials and machines, to labour and operations; split your assembly operations into manageable segments.
- Create and store multiple BOM templates for future use.
- Accurate cost-analysis can be performed from component level, through to the full build.
- The Trial Kitting tool forecasts your production capabilities by reviewing current stock levels, against the Bill of Material specification.
- Batch and Serial Number functionality can be applied, from component level, through to the full build.
