The Omnix ERP Production Control module tracks the progress and costs of various job types, for example a maintenance type job such as servicing a vehicle, or a stock type job which controls and monitors the costs of producing finished goods stock items. Production planning allows companies to plan future production based on last year’s sales, and to set sales targets to meet the production forecasts. Production plans can be developed for the long, medium and short term. Using these plans, businesses can plan production instead of waiting for orders to determine the production requirements.

Key features:

• interfaces with the Omnix ERP Stock Control, Order Entry and Invoicing, Purchase Orders and Requisition, Credi tors, Cash Book, Debtors and General Ledger modules
