SAP Business One software is ideal for a small business seeking to gain greater control over operations by increasing visibility into the supply chain, automating key production processes, tracking compliance, and improving innovation and speed to market.
SAP Business One:
The advanced production facilities of PPSOne are well suited for the following manufacturing environments:

Developed in partnership with SAP, PPSOne extends the standard manufacturing functionality in SAP Business One to include:
Very comprehensive work centres for machines, employees, external work be individual or part of a group for flexible planning / scheduling. Also facilitates multi machine operating and the fact that work can overlap and queue. Full use of utilisation and performance ratios support the automated scheduling.
The often complex requirements of multi machine operating are easily accommodated. Work centres can be assigned to machine groups and where this is used the work centre with the shortest lead-time fit will be selected.
A specific operating calendar can be assigned to each work centre along with a normal working hours / shift pattern. Working time for work centres can be defined down to the minute, allowing for planned maintenance / downtime to be automatically accounted for in scheduling production.
An operation plan (BOM and Routing) can be defined with any number of different and/or alternative versions can be entered. These are the basis for the automated planning / scheduling process, costing, and manufacturing / logistics. Boms and routes can also be linked to provide Just in Time (JIT) scheduling of materials to production.
Scheduling can be a time consuming process which PPS dramatically reduces. Production can be automatically scheduled within the easily defined constraints with no manual effort. Production can be rescheduled on new rules / priorities at any time and can also be simulated prior to commitment.
Available to promise is much more than ERP systems generally allow. From quotes and orders the user can enquire as to a promise date, based on a time phased view of both material and labour and how it fits the current system loading. Although production can be raised from sales orders, it can also be done via MRP with a full set of recommendations for both production and purchasing.
The system will also plan and raise purchases from subcontract and manage the shipment of goods to and from subcontractors as required.
Recording of work real time is a key element in allowing a more automated production system to make accurate recommendations. The easy to use production recording screens are both simple and clear and can be run on touch screen terminals and obviously utilise bar coding.
A flexible CAD interface allows BOM data to be linked to your CAD system, saving time and money. Any additional fields utilised in CAD that would be useful to the business system can also be accommodated.
It is also possible to integrate the system directly to shop floor machines both for the purpose of issuing work, and recording the results back to the job. This provides the most real time information possible back to the business system.
Graphical representation and the use of colour can be very powerful in terms of reporting information back to the user. PPS uses this very well in order to show progress of production jobs, work centre performance, and the financial performance of jobs and work centres.
