Ostendo for Manufacturing with MYOB and QuickBooks Integration
MANUFACTURING and custom products - Manufacturing incorporates making products to order or to stock - Can choose the level of simplicity or complexity that you wish to use - Ranges from an assembly order with no details, through using simple Bills of Material, or simple routing, to full use of combined BOM, routing & resources with cost rollups - Orders can be generated on the fly using source on demand, from a prescheduled planned order, or as a configured custom product - BOM's include setup, scrap percentage - BOM's can be as many levels deep as required - BOM's can also be phantom assemblies - Each line in a BOM can optionally be linked to a step in the routing, and each routing step can identify the detailed resource requirements - Mass global replacement facility is used for substituting items and a where used enquiry for BOM's. - Can use automatic backflush for items instead of issuing components line by line - Able to have additional outputs to the main product covered under the bill of material - co-products are planned products that will be produced with the main product - by-products which may be generated as a result of making the main product

Custom Products Have three types :- 1.Rules Based - Simple question and answer interface to design, cost and price customer specific products and services - Create the rules for your configured products and services - Rules can be simple with features and options, through to complex dimensional rules based configurations - Can also define rules for calculating prices - Based on the answers to the questions at the quote or sales order entry stage, the system automatically generates and stores a unique design to make the product or service at a later time specifically for that customer eg BOM and routing - Custom products or services that have a future ongoing service commitment can be automatically converted to a customer service asset at the time of sale.

2. Manual Based - Using a pre-defined bill of material or blank, one is able within sales and job orders, add/delete lines from the predefined bill of material
3. Features & Options - Features and options is a new style of Custom Product - This allows features and options to be added to the standard bill of material. The idea is that the product has a number of predefined features, and for each feature you can have a predefined list of options. Each option then has a defined price enabling the user to select which feature/option is required for that product. A unique BOM is created for the assembly order
MRP & Inventory Replenishment - Single level replenishment option with code/category selection - full multi level MRP - include/exclude forecasting - user defined replenishment horizon - suggested oreder generation showing detailed evaluation - amend suggested orders - convert to assembly orders or purchase orders
