Order Processing
The Order Processing Module enables you to create a job from estimate, or book a job in manually if required. Smarte will automatically raise the Job Docket, which can be viewed on-screen and printed to hard copy. There are options to add instructions and comments by department, or to modify materials or production processes.
When booking the job in from an estimate, the system will automatically look into the stock modules and allocate raw materials to the job. If the materials are not in stock or unavailable, Smarte will raise a purchase order to the preferred supplier. You can modify stock allocations and purchase orders at any stage, however the system will not let you forget to order or allocate materials to a job – a safeguard when under pressure.
Smarte will also automatically raise a cost sheet, to record times and costs against the job. It will also raise a delivery docket for delivery scheduling, delivery notes, labels etc. Smarte will also place cost centre loadings for the job into the Scheduling Module ready for production planning.
The process can be further streamlined by using the automatic job creation routine that creates all the Job information from a customer supplied CSV or XML file.
The Order Processing Module therefore allows you to book a job in – quickly and efficiently, with the minimum of fuss or typing.
