Job Order Entry sets the foundation for all other tasks in an ETO manufacturing environment. The Encompix Job Order Entry module recognizes a job as either Planned or Open and creates a file for the accumulation of costs to that job or project. It is designed to provide easy transition from estimates to orders, with modifications to the Router and Bill of Material if necessary and then schedule against your shop's current capacity. For each item on the order, you may specify whether you plan to make it, buy it or pull from stock. Because the system tracks the jobs on your shop floor, you can always access the completion status quickly and easily via the screen or a printed report.
Shipping is handled as easy as 1-2-3. You may create multiple shipments of either the entire order or individual components of the order that have been broken down into shippable units. Generate a packer if you wish, close the job and an invoice may be generated, if invoicing hasn’t already been completed via progress billings. With each job you may attach unlimited comments that can be printed on any or all invoices.
The Encompix Sales Order Entry module provides the system with a convenient, single screen entry that groups multiple line items on a single Sales Order. Most ETO companies have a significant spare parts business, this module provides the capability to quote many items and ship stock or custom-made items using an automated link to Job Order processing.
Sales Order entry coordinates closely with Job Order Entry. Once a sales order is entered, Encompix automatically creates the job orders and if applicable, copies the standard routings and bills of material. Jobs can be shipped individually, in groups or all at once through a single shipping screen.
