Contract is an agreement between the two parties making a consensus on a common thing. A contract becomes legal after the documents are signed. There are two types of contracts explained as follows:

• Cost Allocation

  The ability to maintain and calculate the appropriate cost reservation of a material based on an accepted order.

• Costing

  Cost accounting is enabled to reflect actual costs as reflected by the respective expenditure accounts in the financial ledger. Ultimately the absorption of these costs enables per unit cost reporting for produced units as well as ensures valuation of work in progress. This is enabled with full integration with data captured in the manufacturing process with regard to materials, labor, and apportion able overhead expenses.

A process that initiates action by end users or locations, before a consolidated central organization that moves goods and services to individual points based on its own parameters.

This process enables periodic evaluation of vendors based on different criteria like price, quality, delivery, etc. This process enables definition of criteria and sub-criteria for evaluation and mapping of criteria to a score card by assigning the respective weight ages. To initiate evaluation, the relevant score card can be selected along with the vendors and evaluators. Based on the evaluator scores for each vendor on the sub-criteria, the overall score for the vendor is calculated and vendors are ranked based on the overalls scores.

The execution and control of operations controls and monitors the entire production activity control. The generated production order can be authorized by the management for production. While releasing the production order, the availability of material in the inventory can be checked and reserved. The machines in which the production is going to take place can be finalized in production order release. The operation start date, end date can be finalized and the order can be released. If the order is released with reference to a plan, the planned work center load is converted to a production load. At any point of time the projected, planned and production load of work center can be known, which is very important for decision making and accepting new orders for production. The production order items can be released, which will be the input to generate the job card or route card. The job card will give the entire details of work center and machine where the production has to be taken place along with the labor resource.

The items required for production is also known from which the item requisition to inventory can be made. The issues made with reference to production order updates work in-process. The request can also be made for some additional requirements of raw material through unplanned requisition. The actual production details can be updated in shop floor reporting. It captures the input items taken from inventory, consumed quantity and remaining balance from work in process. This also captures the phantom item, co-products, by-products produced during the stage. The machine-wise actual time taken for production such as set-up time, run-time, manual time e.t.c. can be captured, which will give the variance from the standard captured as a part of routing definition for the items. The operation details are updated in the production based on the confirmation of shop floor reporting. If the operation has quality check, the inspection request is automatically generated. Based on the completion of quality check, the further operations can be continued in case of normal routing, which is followed in intermittent manufacturing.

If the subsequent operation is for subcontracting, the information is passed on and issues can be made from work in-process. On receipt of expected items from subcontractor, the quantities are updated in work in-process and further processes are continued. In case of rate routing in continuous manufacturing, the quantities totally produced can be tracked and partial quantity can be settled for the production order. On completion of either partial quantity or full quantity, the production order can be settled. On the receipt of finished goods production in inventory, they are updated in inventory and reduced from work in-process. The order finally gets closed either on the completion of entire quantity or through force closing.

The movement types of mbas inventory management can be broadly classified as external and internal movements. The external movements deal with all the movements that are happening outside stakeholders in the supply chain. The internal movements' deals with all the movements of items related to production, quality control and services. The receipts from vendors such as goods receipt note and consignment material are received through vendor receipts. The stock is maintained in different stock types for normal vendor receipts and consignment receipts. During the consumption, the rejected items from vendor are sent through purchase returns. The sub contracting issues can be directly sent through inventory or with the integration of work in-process. The operation subcontracting type handles the material movement from WIP. The receipt can be updated either in WIP or inventory depending upon its movement type. On sending items to vendor for sub contracting, the quantities are maintained against the vendor name and valuated as sub organization stock.

At any point of time, on-hand quantity and available quantity can be known. Similarly, consignment agents stock inside the organization is not valuated, but calculated as on-hand quantity which will help in planning. The items can be sent on returnable basis for rework or repair apart from sub contracting. The items which are accounted can be handled through returnable gate pass and non-returnable gate pass. Based on the IST indent, the items can be issued for the requesting organization. Till the item reaches the requesting sub organization, it will be considered as in-transit stock. On receivable of stock in the requesting sub organization, it will be updated in the stock of requesting sub organization. The customer movement involves integration with sales. With reference to sales order, items can be picked and delivery note can be generated. Based on the consignment indent, the stock is transferred; it is maintained as consignment agents stock it valuated and not considered as available quantity.

Request for material/item issued by stores either manually or auto generated.

mbas Inventory management generates various types of indents. For example, purchase indent, re-order level indent and sales order indent generates indents from various integration points. Intelligent prompt message are sent to the inventory controller on items reaching re-order level from which the indents are raised automatically. Inter-stock transfer is initiated from IST indent where the items are transferred from one sub organization to another. Similarly, the intra-stock transfer initiates the process of transferring stock from one location to location of the same warehouse or sub organization. The consignment agent's requirements can be handled through consignment agent. The normal consumption within the sub organization is controlled through stores indent.

The capacity that loads requirements based on the scheduled date and do not rearrange them if capacity is not available. It shows over or under conditions based on the calculation load vs. resource availability. When resources are overloaded, it does not suggest any changes in work center, quantity or date.

The inspection can be carried out at the time of receipt of items from vendor,at the stages of production and at the time of dispatch. The test plans are attached to the tests defined and based on the information and configuration the inspection requests are automatically generated. The inspection orders are subsequently generated and issued to quality inspectors. The inspections can be carried out either on-line or off-line.on-line quality inspection, the inspectors walk through the production lines in factory and inspection results will be generated for which there will not be any material movement. In case of off-line,the items are issued to quality lab where the inspection is carried out. The issued items are made as "Quality stock" and considered as available or on-hand based on the configuration settings. The items are requested to inventory and received in quality lab. After completing the inspection the results are generated, which is attached along with the test certificates, SPC calculation e.t.c. The inspection can be done either for 100% inspection or sampling methodology based on the test definition.

The internal movements deal with movements happening within the sub organization. It deals with the movement with production, quality and services. With reference to an item requisition from production which will be having a reference of a production order, items are issued to work in-process. This will reduce the stock at inventory and will be considered as WIP stock. On the completion of production, with reference to production order settlement, items will be received to inventory which will reduce stock at WIP and increase in inventory. The inspection issues and receipts can happen either from inventory for direct purchases or sub-contracting purchases if the item is having inspection applicability. Similarly, depending upon the routing definition, the inspection process will be initiated for in-house production. The inspection receipts and issues will happen with reference to WIP and inventory. The other internal movements are related to services. While performing services for items, there may be items required from inventory and after the completion of service, the remaining items will be issued to inventory. These are the movements that will be covered as a part of internal movement details.
