It seems like the simplest
request in the world; "Please get the parts we need for production to the
floor on time." If it were only that simple.
Of all the tasks involved in manufacturing, purchasing often
seems to be the hardest and the one at which the most fingers are pointed
when things go wrong. Effective purchasing requires the negotiation
skills of a lawyer, the patience of a saint, and the choreography skills
of a prima ballerina.
We can help. VisAbility™ Reports for Visual
Manufacturing® groups the most often asked for purchasing reports into
one easy to access and use package.
The reports included in this package include a vendor history that
shows not just the purchase order price, but also what you paid for
it! The Vendor Performance Report can help you quickly determine
those suppliers who are reliable and those who are not. Want to know the parts that are below order point, what you paid for
them and when you last ordered, the Order Point Report is for you.
See these and many more reports tailored to the needs of the purchasing
professional in VisAbility™ Purchasing Reports.
| Vendor Performance
Report |
Want to know how well
your vendors are meeting your requirements? Which vendors are
playing havoc with your schedule?
By showing how well each of your vendors performs to their
delivery promises this report can help you select the vendors who
best meet your needs.
The Vendor Performance Report gives you the information
that you need to manage your vendors and deliveries to ensure that
your company meets its commitments to your customers. |
| Parts Below Order Point |
This report provides the power that you
need to manage purchases of order pointed items. In addition
to the limited information available on the standard Order Point
Report, the VisAbility™ report shows outstanding purchase orders,
minimum order quantity, last PO, last invoice(!), as well as Manufacturer and
Manufacturer Part ID.
All the information that your purchasing people need to manage
reorders is contained in the compact, easy-to-use Parts Below
Order-Point. |
| Purchase Price
Variance Report |
Odd though it may seem,
getting purchase price variance information from Visual
Manufacturing® is not as simple as running a report. That may
be why Purchase Price Variance is one of the most often requested
"custom" reports.
We are happy to make the fully featured Purchase Price Variance
Report available as part of VisAbility™ Purchasing
Reports.
Our powerful report displays information about the part being
purchased, the purchase order price, receipts and invoices against
those receipts. It show the variance against the purchase
order as well as variance to the standard cost for the item.
This report closes the loop on your purchasing cost control
activities. |
Purchase History Reports:
- by Part ID
- by Vendor
- by Manufacturer
- by Service
- by Job
|
These powerful reports allow you to
quickly locate the purchase history for any item (including
consumables) that you have purchased.
We have extended the functionality that is present in the
standard Visual Manufacturing® reports in a couple of important ways. In
addition to the purchase order price for an item, can also see the
invoice quantity and price for the item.
Drill downs allow you to quickly zero in on specific invoices or
receipts. This report has the power to allow your purchasing
personnel to quickly understand the full purchase history for
any given item.
|
| PO Lines Received
Over/Short |
Spot problems quickly
with this simple, but powerful report. It allows your purchasing and warehouse personnel to
quickly see any purchase order lines that have been over or under received
in a given time frame.
It can be used as a tool to follow up with the
vendor to expedite the backordered amount or to place reorders if
needed.
|
| Closed PO Lines on Released PO's |
This is another one of those
"obvious" reports that you probably didn't realize that
you would need at first, but it sure is handy.
The Closed PO
Lines on Released PO's Report efficiently shows which PO lines got closed
by receiving in a give period of time. This report is useful
in policing the nitty-gritty details of daily purchasing
and receiving activity.
|
| Vendor Pricing
Analysis |
Ever tried to figure
out what vendors are charging for a given part without digging
through lots of menus?
The Vendor Pricing Analysis quickly shows you the information
that is maintained in the purchase price break tables.
Included in this report is the vendor's Part ID, the
"standard" cost from Part Maintenance and all of the price
breaks for each item. |
| Vendor Phone List |
The Vendor Phone List is a
"convenience report" that makes it easy to get a listing of vendor contact
information. |
