Set ups

To avoid repetition of commonly used data and to enable faster preparation of sales related documents
the module has a “Set-up facility” that provides for:

 Customer Category

applicable for similar discounts can be grouped together in this screen. This also stores details
about the number of days permissible for credit to this category along with any special terms if
applicable.

The customer can be defined here with the association of its ID can be generated. This Id stays
unique to that particular customer. Related details like the contact person and the customers
telephone number and address can be stored. This is useful in other modules like stages like
“packing” & receivables wherein the documents like labels, invoices, receipts would require
these details to print alongside the other details.
 Payment Terms
Each individual payment term can be related to a unique ID. This ensures that while
preparation of the invoice the user does not have to type out the terms again, since he has to
just pick the appropriate “payment term” from the ones entered earlier in this feature.
 Message

using this screen. Similar to the above features each message has a different ID and any

like the casting and stones involved can be traced using the features inbuilt in this module.
The efficiency obtained at the various stages of production can be measured enabling the
management to take crucial decisions on manufacturing in- house or to outsource to
contractors.

Module Highlights

 Defines processes (activities) for different stages of manufacturing and execution of


work against production Order and offers detailed information of work in progress
 Generation of production requests from sales orders received
 Facility to segregate production requests as in house or to outsource by
automatically raising purchase orders
 Activity management system provided to track the progress of workbag creation
from receipt of production request to completion of workbag
 Provision for customization of activities with respect to company procedures

 Generates detailed production & rejection reports. These details are available date-
wise, lot -wise and order-wise, which help in production analysis on a historical
basis

Setup

 Stage
The item or style to be produced goes through several stages before reaching
completion. This feature allows the user to define the various stages as required in
the process.
 Activity
Activities are actions than need to be done to done in a particular stage before the
item / style/ workbag is transferred to the next stage.

 Department
This is used to define the departments involved within the company or external
entities in the jewelry production process .For example; diamond & casting are
separate departments

Transactions

 Inbox -Sales Order


The production department will begin to manufacture items only against production
requests that can be viewed in this section. Production requests are generated
against the sales order details received through the sales order module.
This screen is used before beginning actual production. It is literally an inbox that is
filled with sales orders received.
 Process Production Request
This section is used to view a complete list of production requests that need to be
fulfilled .It also segregates the requests into ones that need to be addressed in house
and those that need to be outsourced to vendors. Besides generating and
maintaining a record of workbag details, it provides the facility to directly generate
and print purchase orders for vendors directly from this transaction screen.
 Print Workbag
This section is to be used print important workbag details like content, style,
weight, description, etc. Apart from being systematically displayed on the
document these details can be bar coded and the bar code can be printed on the
same document. This proves to be useful to the recipient department/ users, who
have to only scan the bar code to determine whether they have received the
workbag as they had expected. This process helps save on time & effort associated
with repeatedly verifying workbag contents.
 Transfer Workbag
This section is used after work has been completed by a particular department /
operation & is ready to be transferred to another department or the next stage .The
screens here enable the user to record transfers (of workbags) that are made from
the sales, production, diamond and casting departments. These are used to record
transfers from
 Sales to production
 Production to casting
 Production to diamond
 Casting to production
 Diamond to production
 Style quality check to approved or rejected stock
 Style approved to shipping stock

It is evident from the above description that the solution provides for tracking and
movement at each stage thus proving to be the ideal solution for the jewelry
industry.

 Void Work Bags


The “Void” feature provided is used to indicate, “a certain operation will not be
performed” in the process. This is used mainly when the diamond or the casting
process is not going to be used for a particular workbag.
In some cases the entire workbag will not be processed. Since the workbag (or the
workbag number) has been generated there needs to be a way in which the
“generation” of the workbag has to be nullified or cancelled. This is done using the
“void” feature.
 Fill Workbag from Approved Stock
An organization, owing to a variety of reasons, may have some quantity of items
(finished) already available with it in stock. On receipt of a production request for
similar items, they need not produce new stock since the orders can be fulfilled
using the stock available with them.
 Transfer Anywhere
This screen is used when a process or processes have to be skipped. According to
the management, it may not be necessary for all workbags to pass through all
processes to be denoted as completed work bags .In such instances the workbag can
actually be “lifted” (or more specifically) transferred from the stage/ process it is in
to the desired stage/ process.
 Work Bag Tracking
The entire workflow or the movement of a workbag can be divided into various
activities or a series of logical steps that it must cross before it is called a
“completed workbag”. Being a visual representation, “Xs” contained in the
columns denote the stage of completion.
 WIP Tracking
Similar to the work in process above, WIP tracking, or work in process tracking is
used to understand the degree of completion using different parameters like
completion sales order wise, style wise and work bag wise.
This screen is used as a “work in process” tracking mechanism. This tracking is
done with respect to various aspects. It gives a chart or pictorial view of the work in
process
The various options provided are:
 Tracking with respect to “style”
This displays the work in process for a particular customer for a particular
style.
 Tracking with respect to “workbag”
This displays the work in process for a particular workbag for a particular
customer.
 Tracking with respect to “sales”
This displays the work in process for a particular sales order for a particular
customer.

The stages have been abbreviated and “X,” indicates the current sage associated
with the workbag.
Facility is provided for customization to change the position of the columns and to
even sort and filter columns besides using the same screen to “drill down” to details
of each transaction.

that can be previewed on the PDA, saved as a text file, or printed on a mobile
printer via a serial or IR (infrared) port.

Host Sync
From the Host Sync screen, you can download new/changed customers, products,
and other data such as terms codes, shipvia codes etc., and upload (send) all new
orders to the home office. If you have added any new customers in the customer
screen, these are also uploaded.

This screen lets you set the "Date Requested" formula and the "Order On Scan"
one-touch ordering option.

Order Reports
Order reports include a Daily Orders Report that summarizes orders by date.

database tables from a text file. It is normally used only when staging
a PDA, but can be used in the field if you ever need to reload the tables.

Admin Tools
This password-protected screen allows you to download new versions of the
programs and configuration files without bringing the PDA into the office.
