Sage Line 500 Manufacturing core modules:

• Bill of Materials
  Bill of Materials gives you total flexibility through its ability to handle both component listings and formulae. Sage Line 500 Bill of Materials has planning option percentages to simulate high level strategies and product families that can reflect the composition of complex relationships within a family of products, allowing planners to concentrate on the forecast model.
• Works Order Processing
  Works Order Processing provides the business with a comprehensive, dynamic, costing and control repository. Sage Line 500 Works Order Processing uses the detail supplied from the Bill of Materials and Routing modules and automatically creates works orders after Material Requirements Planning has optimised the timing and quantity. The moment anything happens, it is routed and controlled on a Works Order. Works Orders provide a reflection of actual build, mirroring what has happened on the factory floor. A Sage Line 500 Works Order is also truly 'live' until it has been completed, allowing alterations and amendments to dynamically record the actual materials and resources used to create the end product.
• Material Requirements Planning
  Material Requirements Planning provides a Direct Supply Response to meet customer demand. It may be driven from source demand elements e.g. sales orders, forecasts or works orders ensuring that all material requirements are supplied directly to meet consumer needs or by using the traditional Master Production Schedule to generate the best volume/mix per period. Whether the requirement is for a responsive, agile manufacturing company or for the batch engineering machine shop, the appropriate techniques are provided within Sage Line 500.
