MRP system

Hi,

We provide a much more functionaly rich system to Sage 200 with excellent MRP capabilities, though priced in very much the same ballpark as Sage 200.

If you would like to discuss how the system can meet the above requirements then please do not hesitate to contact me on 01202 241143 to discuss further.

Many thanks,

James

Thanks for the offer but I don't think I can start discussing alternatives. Whatever we do has to integrate with accounts, stock control, production & drawing data. Whilst you system may well do this, any decisions will be at board level.

Do you have a web site so I can at least have your system looked at?

Not a problem, the system we provide is fully integrated including accounts, stock, production, CRM amongst others.

Our website is www.codestone.net, where you will find further info on the system as before though please do not hesitate to contact me on 01202 241143 if you have any questions or there is anything I can do.

Many Thanks,

James

Suggest you look at the latest release of Sage 200 Manufacturing modules - if you havent already.

We can provide help on Sage 200 if you need it - however you should really talk to your existing Business Partner who should be able to help with a demo of Manuf and what it could do for you.

We've talked to our vendor about the manufacturing modules but they don't handle this issue any differently to the Sage 200 we have now. They admit that their systems are designed to suit distributors rather than manufacturers. They have already visited us to demo the manufacturing module & have taken some data away to try to tailor the system for us but when we ask about retaining BoM issue history we seem to hit a brick wall.

The best option we can see at the moment, if we stick with Sage is to delete old versions of parts as they are replaced & only keep .PDF copies of old BoMs. This would make it impossible to perform any searches in the old information but would satisfy the ISO requirement to retain records.

I would make a list of all the items I needed inactive.

Change their stock codes to a sequence that could be accessed seperatly at the very bottom of your system componet list.

just move them into one group using stock codes.

When we started using this system we decided (wisely or not) to use the component drawing number as the stock code. The Sage system allows you to change just about every parameter except the stock code. Once this number is entered, even if you get it wrong, it cannot be changed.

If somehow we did manage to change it we would lose the link to all other records & not be able to search for past orders etc.

I thought there was a way to update the codes darn it has been a while since I worked with that.

I think you can allocate a separate stock code as well as the main 'I.D.' number but, when we moved to the Sage system we decided to use the part drawing number as the I.D. number & stock code. In retrospect this may have been a bad move but we are stuck with it now.

Have you ask these guys ?
