03 Modules & more
An ERP system from a single vendor can be the only system in use by a company or a part, a component, of the entire ERP solution of a company that use several vendors. Each ERP system is conceived as a group of modules, that interact with information flow between the modules ou exporting and importing data between different solutions.
Setting up
It's quite common that I try to setup something, but is needed another setting from other part of the system.
Module Configuration
Setting up a Manufacturing module require a keen eye on details, but sometimes not so detailed in order to avoid complications.
The sequence to setup the module on my testing axelor ERP instance is the following:
- Setup Country, City, Company information
- Create workshop, in Kartano Tech Oy case is the PCB Workshop, Metal Workshop and Assembly Workshop
- Add cancel reasons, during setup I do not know what is the need of such Cancel Reasons, I considered as issues in production that could cancel an order
- Product approvals, in this item I created inspection step that will approve the product, to be validated at the end.
- Machine types. In this case I added twelve type of machines that are necessary to create PCB "Printed Circuit Boards"
- Machines. Here I added the machine that is producing according each manufacturing step. Each machine belong to a Machine Type group.
- Work Centers. Here machines are grouped in order to produce the product, also capacity and costing settings are defined. I will need to return to this settings after adding products to the system, as this information is necessary to define the process cost.
Creating orders
Still some configurations are empty or not clear what is the requirements, by checking the documentation I decide to follow the manual flow and configure the product.
