The ERP system for small and medium-sized enterprises is essentially a production management system. At present, domestic large-scale ERP systems have strong financial functions, but weak management capabilities for the production process. The functions of process management and various document reports are complete, but the algorithm and decision support functions are insufficient. Most of the ERPs suitable for small businesses are MRP+financial software. Many companies are only used for accounting and material inventory management, but rely on Excel for management of sales orders, production plans, workshop execution, etc.
The core of the ERP system for small and medium-sized enterprises is the management of the production process. Its advantage is its powerful algorithm, which provides the MPS master production planning function and can be easily upgraded to APS.
The current version includes the following main functional modules:
- Vendor management: Supplier and customer management, you can associate products with vendors
- Products and BOM: Use the same tree structure BOM as large-scale ERP, support virtual nodes, and parameters such as fixed consumption, floating consumption, loss rate, etc. can be defined at all levels
- Production process: Using the same process model structure as APS, users can define production process, workshop equipment, workshop capacity and other data in detail
- Purchase, sale and inventory management: It has a general purchase, sale and inventory function to manage the inventory of materials and products.
- Sales management: In addition to general functions such as sales billing, warehousing, and shipping, RateERP has decision support functions such as sales forecasting, demand analysis, and inventory management. Inventory management: RateERP’s demand management module is suitable for enterprises with a reserve production method. Provides a complete set of decision support, using demand forecast as the data source, using advanced algorithms to reasonably arrange production plans based on parameters such as the number of days of product consumption, overall inventory capacity, and minimum product production volume, and based on actual shipment dynamics Adjust the polyplan, split the monthly product demand into daily demand, and create reasonable demand orders
- Production process management: Automatically create production work orders based on sales orders, and manage the entire process of work orders including material preparation, material issuance, production, reporting, warehousing, and completion. When demand changes, the production work order also changes accordingly.
- MPS production plan: RateERP can automatically create the MPS master production plan, calculate the start and end time of the sales order, and calculate the start and end date of each work order under the order. At the same time, it performs a complete material analysis on each work order and calculates each The work order’s material collection date is generated, and a material shortage list is generated, eliminating the trouble of manual material checking.
- MRP and procurement management: Based on the time of the MPS master production plan and the BOM structure, material requirements are automatically calculated, procurement requirements are generated, and purchase requisitions are created. The material procurement required for production is automatically calculated by the system, and temporary procurement is managed manually.
- The current version of RateERP does not include financial and personnel management modules, and users can use it with independent financial software.
