Inventory Control

The primary Manufacturing links are through the SAGE Pro Inventory Control module. Manufacturing's internal inventory file is disabled and replaced by the inventory information in SAGE Pro when the two systems are integrated. While maintenance of the inventory file is done through SAGE Pro, Manufacturing can be used to create new item numbers and locations in the file in order to support the rapid creation of bills of material.

The SAGE Pro inventory valuation methods by item are supported.

Manufacturing uses the following method to determine if an item is made or purchased:

  • An item is treated as a purchased item when the Used In Purchase Order option is checked.

  • An item is treated as a manufactured item when the Used In Work Order option is checked.

  • An item is treated as both a purchased item and a manufactured item when the Used In Purchase Order and Work Order options are checked.

Unit of measure established in SAGE Pro are used in Manufacturing.

The decimal settings in inventory are observed by Manufacturing.

Manufacturing uses the following method to determine if an item is stock or nonstock:

An item is treated as a stock item if the Check On-hand and Update On-hand options are checked.

An item is treated as a nonstock item if the Check On-hand and Update On-hand options are left unchecked.

The lot/serial number processes are supported. Manufacturing extends the support to provided lot/serial number traceability.

Warehouse and bin locations are supported.

The On-hand Qty field is updated as finished goods are posted or items returned to inventory.

The In-process Qty field is updated with quantity of items being manufactured.

The Allocated Qty field is updated with the quantity of items allocated to work orders.

The Class field is used as the Product Class field in Manufacturing.

The Product Line field is used as the Code field in Manufacturing.

The MRP (Material Requirements Planning) and Plan processes in Manufacturing included the item reorder, reorder quantity, and vendor information.

The In-transit quantities are excluded from MRP and Plan processes in Manufacturing.

The Manufacturing material planning Cushion option may be used to partially offset the absence of item lead times in SAGE Pro.

Procedures for controlling Manufacturing transactions affecting inventory should be used during the periods in which there is an SAGE Pro freeze on inventory. Manufacturing does not stop transactions from occurring during these periods.
