control, Product costing, Cost allocation and tracking,
Scrap handling, Ongoing relation with customers,

and other management modules is essential.

These were handled as:
1. Marketing Management: The critical problem faced by a Marketing executive is to
predict a delivery date to customers due to non-availability of correct stock status or
resource loading. The Production executive is also not aware of the exact order booking
position or sales target to plan the production due to the lack of
integration between the Sales and Production Plan. At any point of

tools that allow manufacturers to capture Product, Service and business knowledge
increasing overall productivity. This increases sales effectiveness and profitability
m aking it easier and less costly.
2. Production Planning: From Sales order and Sales forecast, Production for a
period is planned normally on a thumb rule basis where the material requirement is not
exactly available; as a result the planned production is seldom achieved. SAP Business
One provides effective solutions to optimize the production plan through:
Bill of Material (BOM) of all manufactured material (Finish goods and semi
finished goods).
Material requirement planning(MRP) considers availability of input materials,
Components, Semi finished goods and Finished Goods
MRP will also consider pending purchase order and pending production order/s
MRP will suggest Manufacturing order/s for manufactured type items and
Purchase order/s for purchase type items
Based on MRP recommendation, production order may be created from the
system or can be created manually
The production order will be scheduled day wise and operation wise based on
availability of resources and manpower
Subcontracting may be done from any stage of production
Purchase order/s may be generated from MRP recommendation or can be
created through manual indent

3. Purchase Management: Raw material procurement plan has a very important role
to make production plan successful. For any procurement, the selection of right
supplier, procurement at right time for right quantity in right price is the most important
factor. SAP Business One handles all these areas effectively using following tools:

Material requirement planning
Purchase Indent,
Tendering Procedure
Purchase Order
Subcontracting Order

4. Quality Management: Stringent quality control with proper documentation is the
most essential part of Engineering Industry. Raw material as well as Semi-Finished/
Finished items at different stage of production will go through following quality

6. Material Management: This gives a pain to the material managers as most of the
time the physical stock of the materials are not matched with the BIN balance and the
right materials are not available in required quantity at right time in right place. Also
sometime bulk quantities of material are kept unused for a long time resulting in
unnecessary increase of inventory. So, proper material management plays a key role
with the other modules. SAP Business One provides following functionalities for
effective inventory management:

Recording of stock movement with cost of each
transaction
