Preventing Part Shortages: How Cetec ERP’s Order Material Report Keeps You Prepared
Manufacturers need a simple view of what material is short, and when it will arrive. Often, ERP systems can give a high-level view to what is on hand, and what is incoming, but don’t offer the granularity of viewing allocation to a specific component’s on-hand or incoming inventory to a specific work order. This makes it difficult for production schedulers to coordinate with buyers and warehouse managers to ensure work orders can start, and finish, on time.
Cetec ERP’s Order Material Report is designed to help solve this problem with a simple, one-stop-shop for a shortage report.
Key Benefits of the Order Material Report:
-
Track Short Material on Orders Effectively: The Order Material Report allows you to monitor materials on your orders closely. The primary purpose of this report is to identify part shortages. Get insight into what parts you are missing for your orders, and when the necessary POs will be arriving, to manage your inventory more proactively. With a clear overview of your material status, you’ll avoid surprises and ensure smooth operations.
-
Monitor Purchase Orders (POs) by Warehouse Location: One of the standout features of this report is its ability to track POs within the same warehouse location as your order, and match them up with specific work orders. See when new materials might be arriving - and what PO they’ll arrive on - to plan more effectively. However, keep in mind that if a PO is in a different warehouse location than your order it won’t link to the order on the report.
-
Focus on the Closest PO to Ship Date: Regardless of the date, the Order Material Report shows the next PO that is arriving. This ensures that you have the most relevant information for timely order fulfillment.
Cetec ERP’s Order Material Report is a powerful tool for streamling your inventory management and order fulfillment processes. By keeping track of orders and monitoring POs, you can ensure that you always have the necessary materials on hand and avoid disruptions in your supply chain. Whether you are dealing with multiple warehouse locations or trying to manage complex orders, this report provides the insights you need to keep your business running smoothly.
