CRM
Robust and easy to use CRM functionality
providing opportunity, sales and service
management.
Quotation & Sales Control
Improve quoting and order management in your
company. Using the robust calculation tool, price
calculations are fast, flexible and dependable.
With the fast MRP calculation you can see the
production time of an item, based on the current
capacity. For standard items you can work based
on “available to promise”.
Bill of Resources
Different types of material and operations form
the basis of the bill of resources. Work centers
are integrated in operations and capacity
information is transparent (setup times, job
times, teardown times etc.).
Calculation
Bills of resources and production orders can be
calculated in various ways. You can easily create
multiple cost schedules, at your own definition
with any formula. This offers a rich and flexible
calculation of costs. Based on the cost schedules
you can define price schedules. Based on the
various lot sizes you can calculate costs, prices
and process them into price lists.

with a focus on discrete and repetitive manufacturing. The solution has been specifically designed to
meet the demanding requirements of these organisations. The result is a flexible and tightly integrated
software solution, with rich functionality, that is very easy to use.
For companies with a need of extensive but easy to use manufacturing functionality, SAP Business One
for Manufacturing is the ideal solution.
Outsourcing
Powerful and easy to use outsourcing. In the bill
of resources you can define what amount or
percent should be outsourced and to what
supplier.
Make To Order
The standard production system works with
traditional MRP II runs to take care of all
production and purchasing needs. But if your
business requires a more customer-specific
approach then there is the MTO capability. Here
you can define per product how “deep” this MTO
effect goes through the bill of resources and you
can make separate MTO MRP runs to see the
production and purchasing needs based on sales
orders.
Production Planning
Automatic production planning in minutes. With
powerful and flexible algorithms the system plans
everything on an MRP II basis. This proven
method ensures smooth operation and optimal
use of all of your valuable resources.
The production planning is supported with a
graphical plan board from which you can drill
down for additional details.

3. SAP Business One for Manufacturing
Integration
Since all software functions are fully integrated,
data need only be entered once, and duplicate
data entry is eliminated. Once data has been
inputted, the information can be used
everywhere.
This means a fast and error free use of system
data and a quick and accurate insight into all
information.
Communication
The system is not only for internal
processes; External documents can be managed
as well and company documents can be mailed
directly from the system.
With the integrated B1i tools, web services can
be linked and/or data from other systems can be
integrated.
Production Data Capture
To get the real value of the system the PDC is a
very powerful module. Here you can
enter, in a very simple way, all the necessary
data (start job, stop job, setup, breakdown,
complete, partial, etc.). This data entry can be
done in different ways, so it meets your business
requirements. Available for terminals or web
based.
Procurement & Stock
Comprehensive material planning and
procurement functionality. Based on sales and
production needs, the system can
generate all relevant procurement orders.
Service
Manage the maintenance and repair of either
your own machines or your customers. Service
contracts and customer equipment cards are a
solid basis for reliable and profitable business.
Finance
Completely integrated financial administration
that gets fed from all relevant ERP components.
Automatic payment, extensive reporting and easy
to work with: everything you need for your
financial management.
Flexibility
Because of its modern structure SAP Business
One for Manufacturing is easy to implement and
offers lots of flexible possibilities. And, even more
important, it is adaptable during the complete
lifecycle.
As in time business processes change, the
software can be changed as well. SAP Business
One for Manufacturing ensures optimal business
support for many years.

4. SAP Business One for Manufacturing……
Step 1 Define operations
Operations are at the core of the solution.
Predefine them with the different work
centers, day shifts and shift plans. Add
how many minutes the operation will
take, with setup and teardown and safety
time. All necessary operational details
can be added.
Step 2 Bill of resources
Define the Bill of Resources (BoM+) per
end product or sub-assembly. Use
different types of material and pre-
defined operations. Specify the needed
time for each operation, depending on
different lot sizes. Add outsourcing and
routing information.
Step 3 Calculation
For each bill of resources or production
order you can do in depth calculations
based on different cost and price
schedules. See the differences in lot sizes
and add or update the various price lists.
Recalculation is easy and flexible.

5. ...... in 6 steps
Step 4 MRP II
Perform real MRP II planning for your
production and purchase needs. The
system can generate the orders
automatically. If you use the MTO
functionality you can work with order-
specific MRP II planning. You can use
different MRP scenario’s for simulating.
The system allows for to-the-minute
planning.
Step 6 Production Data Capture
Enter the production data easily. Every
step in production can be selected for
detailed production progress overviews.
The production data can also be entered
on web terminals. After entering the
production data you have a perfect
insight in the differences between pre and
post calculation.
Step 5 Planning
The graphical plan board shows the
planned and/or released production
orders. You can see what operations are
pinned to a certain date and double click
for operation details. You can select work
centers, employees and tools to have a
complete overview of your capacity and
needs.

6. Benefits of SAP Business One for Manufacturing
 Bills of resources are easy to use and duplicate. This makes recalculation easy and lets you try
out different product configurations.
 Pre-define outsourcing in your bill of resources and easily change it there or in production orders.
This compensates for any acute planning or delivery problems.
 Calculate in various ways with different lot quantities. Depending on a customer’s request you can
calculate costs and profits and update your customer’s price list.
 From the graphical plan board you can “pin” different operations to fix the production order. Other
operations will be automatically adjusted to these “pinned” operations.
 Work with production orders from the cockpit. Here you can make various changes in production
orders and see which orders have problems.
 Extensive PDC (Production Data Capture) makes it easy to enter time, material use and finished
and rejected end products. Also available as a web version for ultimate flexibility, it is an easy to
learn and easy to use system that takes your business to the next level.
“MRP gives us the
opportunity to plan and
adjust in advance.
Automatic needs
assessment reduces
stress.”
