Exceptions handling	* Quickly make exceptions and last-minute changes to meet customer needs.
Supply planning	* Plan from the sales order, production order, or purchase requisition, or use traditional master production schedule (MPS) or material requirements planning (MRP) methods. * Facilitate materials flow through the supply chain with multilocation planning capabilities. * Update and change all materials, costs, and operations simultaneously.
Demand forecasting	* Analyze sales patterns from multiple perspectives. * Compare forecasted demand with actual sales. * Consolidate and distribute demand plans with multiple stakeholders for collaborative planning.
Capacity requirements planning	* Implement realistic plans according to all incoming resource capacity demands. * Redefine order modifiers and reorder policies as needed. * Accommodate changing shop floor workloads. * Simplify planning with calendars and machine center allocation tools.
Warehouse and inventory management	* Integrate manufacturing and warehousing functionality. * Optimize warehouse layout and space utilization. * Maintain up-to-date inventory information. * Manufacturing costing* Understand item costs throughout the production process, including inventory, WIP, and cost of goods sold (COGS). * Manage sales and purchase prices with customers and vendors. * Automated data collection system (ADCS). * Collect and use accurate inventory data in real time. * Increase the visibility of accurate inventory data throughout your business. * Improve warehouse efficiency.
