Manufacturing

Sage ERP X3offers a choice of production management methods—by job, order, or inventory. Technical data can be defined by price lists, cost centers, and stations as well as a production process sheet management function.
Comprehensive Product Data
 

  • Product attributes and categories
  • Families of products for MPS
  • Multiple manufacturing modes— ATO, MTO, CTO, MTS, process
  • Multiple replenishment rules with seasonality
  • Multiple material handling controls—lots, expiration dates
  • Multiple units of measure
  • Bills of material
  • Multilevel
  • Supports variants and options
  • Validity dates
  • Mass maintenance
