• You render services to your customers. These are services which are
invoiced to the customer according to hourly rates or packages with
unit prices. Services always refer to a product which the customer has
purchased from you.
• Means of production are used as aids in production (e.g. tools,
stencils). They can be entered in production lists and they appear in
the shop floor papers. They are not subject to scheduling or
warehouse management, but are taken into consideration for costing.
• Supplementary items allow special purchase and sales products to
be administrated without warehouse management. These include flat
rates and services (postage, packaging, shipping, insurance) and also
text modules, total invoice discounts, total invoice surcharges, tax
items, sub-totals and totals, etc.
Products, means of production
and supplementary items are
used in the following areas:
purchasing, sales, warehouse
management, production. This
is shown in the graphic.
Production list
Alternative production lists of products can be saved independent of the
product. They are either created manually or generated from a product or
sales order production list. Contrariwise, a product or sales order
production list can be replaced by an alternative production list.
Example:
Normally a part is manufactured internally. When your production
department is overloaded, the part can be manufactured externally. You
thus require a production list for the internal production and an
alternative provided material BOM for the external production.
