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.
