What is BVEssentials Production Manager?

BVEssentials Production Manager is an application that expands the Bill of Material module included in BusinessVision Standard Edition and BusinessVision Client Server Edition. BusinessVision Small Business and BusinessVision Limited Edition are not supported.

BVEssentials Production Manager will increase efficiency and functionality using data stored in BusinessVision, displaying it seamlessly in the relevant BVEssentials windows and adding additional data elements and work flow options.

BVEssentials Production Manager enables better control over scheduling and the production process by providing the user with the ability to track raw material usage and demand before it is required. At the same time it generates all files that are consistent with those produced by BusinessVision’s Bill of Material module. As a result, once a Production Order is completed and posted/received, all of the standard reporting and control functions of BusinessVision remain intact.

The primary purpose is to track Production Order status and raw material quantities, posting the items to the appropriate location and inventory accounts when they are completed. BVEssentials updates the general ledger accounts as defined in the Inventory Sales Departments as needed. Once the Production Order is completed, the raw materials used are removed from inventory, and the finished product is placed in inventory at the sum cost of the raw materials used to produce the item.

The primary users will be the individuals that create Production Orders and need to follow the status of the order and materials required to complete them.

Typically there is a system administrator that does all of the configuration and setup, prior to the end users doing data entry. They would also be responsible for defining security and the GL accounts in BusinessVision, based upon the needs of their company.
