Fact Sheets

Engineering Change Management
Keep pace with accelerating markets. Engineering Change Management in Microsoft Dynamics GP provides manufacturers with easy ways to collect, organize, and review changes to orders before they're authorized. Adjust processes and components to accommodate new technologies and customer changes while maintaining or improving efficiency and profitability.

Job Costing
To maximize the profitability of your business, you need accurate, current, and easy-to-access data about every costing detail related to a job. Job Costing in Microsoft Dynamics GP delivers this functionality to manufacturers by capturing all costs when they occur and consolidating them in one location that is easy to access and manage–delivering a comprehensive view of production profitability.

Bill of Materials
Deliver complete, consistent, and current product information. Manage materials, components, and assemblies more precisely–including costs, locations, and routing sequences–to gain tighter control of finished goods, reduce costs, and increase productivity and profitability.

Order Processing
Track detailed production costs and manage work orders and the shop floor more efficiently. Integrated sales and production processes support flexible, efficient make-to-order environments. Integrating production with forecasting processes significantly improves planning in build-to-forecast or hybrid environments.

Materials Requirements Planning (MRP)
Material Requirements Planning empowers you to adjust procurement and production with greater precision–a key advantage in rapidly changing markets. Visibility to material requirements and detailed vendor information, along with flexible planning and analysis capabilities, help ensure proactive planning, smart procurement decisions, and precise adjustments to production. You can make sure supplies flow in when and where they are needed–helping reduce stock outages, drive down inventory costs, and streamline the production process.

Quality Assurance
Seize the competitive advantage with tight control of the quality testing process, helping to ensure that products consistently meet or exceed demanding customer requirements. Support highretention levels by providing customers with detailed, current information on quality assurance testing for the products being manufactured for them.

Sales Forecasting
Communication challenges are frequent when you bring togetherproduct groups that have different objectives and backgrounds,such as sales teams and manufacturing managers. Sales Forecasting in Microsoft Dynamics GP helps increase collaboration, bridging communication gaps and creating a powerful loop that promotes effective, efficient product delivery.
