-
Master Data
Management
Products, components, bills of
materials, customers, vendors,
employees etc.
The correct management of the master
data of your company (products,
customers, vendors, etc.) is a
fundamental aspect for guaranteeing
the coherence and tracking of
processes. Maintaining exclusive
coding, avoiding duplications, and
sharing the relevant information
among all areas of your company is
one of the challenges faced today by
all types and sizes of
organizations. Openbravo ERP helps
you to organize and centralize the
key data of your company,
facilitating the rapid and easy flow
of information among all areas
implicated in different company
processes.
-
Procurement
Management
Rates, purchase orders, goods
receipts, invoice registration and
accounting, purchase planning, etc.
Openbravo ERP's handling of the flow
of supply guarantees the integrity,
tracking, and homogeneity of the
entire process. Each document in the
supply process is based on the
information contained in the
previous document, so that
repetitive introduction of data and
human errors are avoided. In this
way, it is possible to navigate
through different documents that
conform to a determined flow (order,
goods receipt, invoice, payment) and
know in real time the state of any
given order (pending, delivered,
partially delivered, invoiced, etc).
The natural integration of this
process with accounting guarantees
that the finance department always
has up to date and reliable data at
its disposal.
-
Warehouse
Management
Warehouses and bins, warehouse
units, lots, serial numbers,
packages, labels, receipts and
deliveries, movements between
warehouses, inventories, stock
valuation, transport, etc.
The warehouse management processes
built into Openbravo ERP allows the
inventory in your organization to
always be up to date and correctly
valued. The possibility of defining
the warehouse structure of your
organization to unit level (storage
bins) facilitates the exact
localization of your stock at any
time. Additionally, the capacity for
managing product lots and the
possibility of using serial numbers
assure compliance with the tracking
requirements imposed by the majority
of industries.
-
Project and
Service Management
Projects, phases, tasks, resources,
budget, expenses and expense
invoicing, related purchases, etc.
This functionality is orientated
towards companies whose activities
are based on the delivery of
projects and services. With
relationship to projects, Openbravo
ERP allows for the management of
budgets, phases, tasks, expenses and
purchases related with each
individual project. These projects
may be related to monitoring
construction projects or even
sending out and sales and purchase
related requests. The service
component permits companies to
define services and resources and
control all activities. These
activities may or may not be
billable, for internal or external
customers, and be monitored for
incurred expenses at a detailed
level.
-
Production
Management
Plant structure, production plans,
BOM's, MRP, manufacturing orders,
job reports, costs of production,
work incidences, preventive
maintenance types, etc.
The production functions and plant
management in Openbravo ERP allow a
complete shaping of the productive
structure of each organization
(sections, cost centers and work
centers) as well as the relevant
data for production: production
plans (operation sequences), and
products used to make one another.
Currently, the functionality
provided by Openbravo ERP is
orientated towards covering the
usual necessities of a discrete
production environment: production
planning and requests related to
procurement using MRP, creation of
manufacturing orders, job reports
(notification of times and
consumption), calculating costs of
production, notification of job
incidents and maintenance reports.
-
Sales
Management and Customer Relationship
Management (CRM)
Prices, rates, varying quantity
sales orders, shipments, invoicing,
volume discounts, commissions, CRM,
etc.
The functionality of Openbravo ERP
in the Sales Management module is
expressly designed with the
objective of allowing maximum
flexibility and adaptability in its
execution, needed in any commercial
process. It is possible to link
documents (orders, shipments,
invoices) in any order that the
company requires or even disregard
any one of these that is not
necessary. All this is achieved
without sacrificing the coherence
and integrity of information and
guaranteeing the tracking of
processes. The capacities of
integration with order capture
systems by PDAs extend the potential
of the solution beyond the physical
limits of the particular company.
For multi-store retailers, the
system can be seamlessly integrated
with Openbravo POS.
-
Financial
Management and Accounting
Chart of accounts, accounts,
budgets, taxes, general accounting,
accounts payable, accounts
receivable, bank accounting, balance
sheet, P&L, fixed assets, etc.
The financial management and
accounting functionalities provided
by Openbravo ERP are designed to
minimize manual data input on behalf
of the user, thereby freeing them
from tedious, routine tasks and
allowing greater focus on other,
more value added tasks. This
increase in productivity is due to
the financial department acting as
collector of all the relevant
actions generated from the other
management departments. This occurs
in such a way that these have an
automatic reflection in the general
accounting, in the accounts
receivable and accounts payable as
soon as they are produced.
-
Business
Intelligence (BI)
Reporting, multidimensional analysis
(OLAP), balanced scorecards.
Nowadays, business organizations
handle a great deal of data in the
practice of their business
activities. This does not
necessarily mean that they have
available to them the necessary
information for the management of
their enterprise. The BI component
of Openbravo ERP, integrated into
the management system, will help you
to monitor of the state of your
company, providing you with the
relevant information for
decision-making. The predefined
balanced scorecard will allow you to
verify, through the monitoring of a
series of key indicators, if the
defined strategy is being correctly
implemented in your organization.
-
Other
characteristics
Usability, security, ease of
integration, modularity.
The system has been designed to
ensure a superior and productive
on-line user experience, while being
securely accessible from anywhere.
Integration with other solutions and
extensibility by third parties is
also possible.
