- Product Definition
Use this module to define the parts, goods, and services that your company buys, sells, or tracks. - Bills of Material
Use Bills of Material to generate multi-level bills of material structures for production and purchasing planning, costing, and configuration requirements. This module provides fully indented and summarized bills of material and where-used inquiries and reports. You can also track documents and their revisions. - Routings
Use Routings to generate the process steps required to manufacture a given part. You can associate routing operations with both internal work centers and outside subcontractors. In addition to maintaining alternate routings, you can also use routings to generate labor hour and cost standards. - Engineering Change Notices
Use Engineering Change Notices to generate and control changes to parts, documents, bills of material, and routings. - Procurement Planning
Use Procurement Planning to generate and process purchase requisitions. Requisitions can be approved with user-definable approval processes that can be linked to Workflow for notifying approvers. - Purchasing
Use this module to create and maintain standard and blanket purchase orders and to maintain buyers and vendors. - Receiving
Use Receiving to process receipts, inspections, and vendor returns against purchase orders. - Inventory
Use Inventory to track inventory items. Inventory is assigned by project and can be classified as asset, expensed, or customer-furnished. - Production Control
Use Production Control to create and process manufacturing orders for specified parts. - Sales Order Entry
Use this module to generate customer sales orders and all necessary shipping and invoicing documentation (including DD-250s). - Master Production Scheduling
Costpoint Master Production Scheduling (MPS) helps you to plan and manage end-item production to meet customer demand within your resource constraints. In MPS, you generally work with both firm, independent, demand (actual sales orders and reservations), and forecasts of what you anticipate selling or consuming. By combining these requirements, you can come up with a comprehensive production schedule. This production schedule is used to generate Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) plans for all components and subassemblies needed for the end items. - Material Requirements Planning
Use Material Requirements Planning to generate and track planned manufacturing orders and purchase requisitions based on independent demand, inventory, order, and bill of material information. - Materials Estimating
Use Materials Estimating to develop and maintain cost estimates for end items and proposed bills of material.
