We are currently using Vista and are looking at upgrading to
Vantage/Multi-Plant. You guys have been great in the past so I'm
checking in here for some tips, recommendations, etc.
We currently have 4 locations. We've setup a warehouse & bins at each
location. Currently using PO Suggestions, everything wants to be
ordered by one purchasing agent and stock levels seem to be combined
(part XYZ has min of 10, if there's 5 at one location and 10 at another,
we're above our min). We would like each location to be able to keep
independent stock levels (so that the first location would need to
reorder) and have these suggestions show up to a purchasing agent at
each location. Currently our main location is using all the PO
Suggestion functionality, with some creative BAQ's, while our remote
locations are doing everything manually.
I've been told that Multi-Plant will allow the following:
1. Orders entered by SalesPersonA @ LocationA show up for
PurchasingAgentA, while orders entered by SalesPersonB @ LocationB show
up for PurchasingAgentB - stock or non-stock items.
2. Reorders for stock levels @ WarehouseA show up for PurchasingAgentA,
while WarehouseB shows up for PurchasingAgentB.
3. Materials added to jobs @ WarehouseA show up for PurchasingAgentA,
while jobs @ WarehouseB show up for PurchasingAgentB.
Carry the above through for C & D and have it all work regardless of
stock/non-stock parts.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Ken
