Industry Targeted Functionality
Issues & Solutions Comparing Vendor Price QuotationsPriority enables you to link a number of price quotes to a purchase requisition (PR) document and compare them, in order to choose the best proposal. In addition, linking the quotes to a PR enables supervision within public institutions, to ensure that the winning vendor for the PR is chosen properly. Blanket Purchase OrdersPriority enables you to record blanket purchase orders, which offer special pricing terms in exchange for a commitment to purchase a specified quantity of parts within a set time frame. The blanket order acts as a basis for the production of multiple purchase orders. The system provides a means of tracking the remaining quantity in the blanket order, as well as the monetary value of the order balance. Maintaining a Set of Operations Suitable for Multiple PartsPriority enables you to maintain a library of "routings". A routing is a
sequence of production operations conducted in work cells (e.g.,
departments or machines in the factory). Combining Requests for a Specific Part in Work OrdersCombining Requests for a Specific Part in Concentrated Work Orders. Determining Subcontractor Production PrioritiesFor each part, you can map out production priorities and capacities for
various subcontractors. Informing the Customer that Their Order is ReadyPriority's BPM utility lets you send an automated message to a customer or group of customers when a certain business rule is satisfied. For example, when a computer assembly is completed for a sales order, the customer receives an SMS letting them know that the computer is ready to be picked up. Materials That Are Purchased by Weight And Processed In SheetsManaging raw materials that are purchased from vendors by weight (kg)
and maintained in the factory in sheets (e.g., sheet metal, sheet rock).
Throughout the purchasing process - vendor price quotes, purchase
orders, invoices - the buy/sell unit is used. Handling Deferred IncomeIn companies where income is distributed over a given time frame (e.g., for rental agreements, ongoing support), Priority enables automatic management of income distribution according to accepted accounting procedures over the period in question (the rental period, the service agreement). By reporting the period covered when billing the customer, the system divides the total income into fiscal periods and at the same time records the payment under Deferred Income. Periodically, you run a program which moves the correct proportional amount from the total Deferred Income payment to the appropriate income entry. |
