You can use Priority's Quality Assurance module to define uniform testing procedures for parts and to allow for flexible reporting based on the tests that are actually carried out:
Pre-define laboratory tests in the system and assign the appropriate tests to each part.
Pre-define all possible results for each test, as well as the range of acceptable results for each part.
When samples are taken, the list of required tests appears automatically, together with the possible results for each test. Specify the actual results for each test that is carried out.

Marking a palette containing finished goods by printing an identifying label when production is complete.

• Report the completion of production for the work order in question.
• When reporting, run a program that prepares a label with all the relevant information regarding the manufactured products (e.g., work order number, part number, finished quantity, production date, production line).
• Run an interface with a label printing program to produce the label and apply it to the palette.

You can interface with a truck-weighing utility as trucks enter and exit loading areas, thereby affecting shipping documents, warehouse transfer documents, customer return documents, and goods receiving vouchers (GRVs).

• Input the (tare) weight of incoming trucks, obtained via the interface, by activating a hot button in the upper-level form of the relevant inventory transaction document. The weight appears automatically in a special Entry Weight column.
• Input the (gross) weight of outgoing trucks by activating another hot button in the upper-level form of the relevant document. The weight appears automatically in a special Exit Weight column.
• The net weight of the transferred goods is calculated automatically when the exit weight is recorded.
• You can run comparisons between the defined standard weight of the goods recorded in the document and their actual net weight.

The Issue:

In factories that process a large quantity of parts, it is too difficult to maintain the various levels of safety stock manually. The solution described here allows you to calculate safety stock for each part in a controlled automatic manner. The calculation is performed on the basis of actual material usage during a defined period, and includes the possibility of adding coefficients or manually revising recommended quantities.

---

The Solution:
Priority provides a form that displays the usage of raw materials during the desired period, and recommends the appropriate level of safety stock on the basis of this data, as well as various coefficients. Usage data are taken from issues to the plant floor, warehouse transfers and customer sales.
You can manually revise the recommended safety stock after approving the results displayed in the form. You can also perform a general update of the safety stock on the basis of the form data.

Using the electronic data interchange (EDI) module, you can maintain a continuous dialogue with branches of a chain store. A set of interfaces have been developed based on standard requirements of food chains. The module enables you to manage separate part numbers and packing units for your own company and for the chain branches.

Field/Sales Agents: Receiving Orders & Reporting Customer Returns Using Handheld Devices

---

Priority's POS utility is designed for working online or offline, to pass information back and forth regarding sales orders and customer returns. The module provides sales reps with up-to-date details regarding parts a customer is interested in, unpaid bills, and more.

Planning and Execution of Delivery Scheduling to Chain Store Branches Using a Fleet of Vehicles
Priority's Delivery Scheduling module enables you to:

• Set up distribution routes and arrange order delivery by date and route
• Manage a fleet of vehicles, defining weight and volume capacity
• Automatically assign vehicles by date and distribution route, controlling for weight/volume limitations
• Prepare order picklists according to distribution route
• Produce sales invoices and shipping documents per distribution route

Customers' orders are rerouted for delivery from the logistical center. When orders are delivered, picklists are imported directly from the logistical center, thereby updating order and inventory balances and generating shipping documents and customer invoices.

Managing production of food and chemicals when the recipe needs to be adjusted to various batch sizes.

---

Priority breaks down a large work order for a specific product into batches that are adjusted to the size of the container. As production is reported, raw materials and other components that are included in the recipe are deducted automatically in accordance with the batch quantity.

Priority includes a special utility for "batch driven" production of foods and specialty chemicals, where it is essential to record the exact history of each final lot. When a particular manufacturing operation of a batch is reported as completed, a lot (along with its exact processing parameters) is created and transferred to a designated container. The following batch is assigned a different lot number and is designated to a different container, so that each lot remains homogeneous, and its placement on the production floor can be traced at any given time, thereby enabling complete traceability of every final lot.
Reporting the Creation of Byproducts as a Result of a Production Routing
Priority allows you to link byproducts (in negative quantities) to the bill of materials of a manufactured part, such that in production reports for that part you can specify the quantity of byproducts that were actually created.

To do so:

• Enter the sub-level of the reporting form, Manual Issues to Work Order. The parts defined in the BOM (in negative quantities) appear automatically.
• Specify the actual quantity of byproducts created by the reported operation (in negative quantities). You can also define the warehouse and bin to which the byproducts were transferred.
