It is not uncommon to come across a Sage 100 manufacturing enterprise that would like to add some functionailty to tracking production quantities without having to employ the whole Work Order Processing module. 

Here are some insights into how Sage ERP 100 MAS users can use Purchase Orders to track Bill of Materials Production.

Bill of Materials Production Entry in Sage 100 allows users to turn raw materials into finished goods with a simple and straight forward process.  Enter in a finished good bill, post the transaction and the component items are removed from inventory and the finished good receipted into inventory.  Simple and easy.

The problem lies in that it can then be difficult to track and schedule production of the finished goods inside MAS itself.  Often times spreadsheets or manual lists are used to calculate the production needed and then to track how many finished goods are required to meet the production schedule. 

Of course the Sage 100 Work Order Module is a full featured way of tracking production in detail.  But what if you just want to submit a "production order" and then when production is completed, update that production order to reflect the quantity produced.

Well, Tekoa Software has come up with an integration tool to help manufacturers track production orders using the Purchase Order module in Sage 100.

Using this new integration tool, Tekoa Software enables users to identify Production Purchase Orders that will be modified automatically when a Bill of Materials production entry is completed.  Simply enter in a MAS Purchase Order and identify it as a Production Order.  Then when Production is posted, the Production Purchase Order will be automatically updated to reflect the quantity that has been manufactured.  To prevent double receipts, the Tekoa Integrator does not post receipts to the PO, rather maintains a simple amount if production that can then be used to help with the essential scheduling of production.  Tekoa Integrator will also email key users alerting them that a production order has been updated, adding the ability to monitor your Production PO's and schedule.

Gain this simple and easy to use functionality - without any custom programming.  No customization to MAS itself that would prevent upgrades or other enhancements.  Tekoa's solutions employ the latest in application technology and do not require MAS to be modified to perform the task.

So if your enterprise needs a simple way of entering Production Orders using Purchase Orders, this new tool from Tekoa Software can help streamline your business processes.  For more information about Tekoa Integrator or Bill of Materials Production Purchase Orders for Sage 100, give Tekoa Software a call.

Purchase Order Innovation

The importance of purchase orders  is somewhat obvious in today's business. A purchase order is simply an order that is submitted to an outside supplier for an amount of goods specified, for an amount that is agreed upon. But are there any way to improve this system? As stated, the purchase order is a vital part of the business' productivity. It governs how much material the company is taking in for the manufacturing of their product. For example, if we ran an electrical company, we would have to issue purchase orders to other companies for materials that we might need. These materials could range from wiring and electrical cables to switches and lightbulbs. But the acquisition of these items all depends on the purchase order. To get a bit deeper, a requisition order is an order that is submitted to the financial department of the business, and is then either approved or declined. In essence, the requisition is the purchase order before it has been confirme...
