Infor SyteLine Outside Process Management (OPM) extends the value of ERP SyteLine allowing the SyteLine user to streamline the process of tracking and shipping materials from a standard SyteLine job to an outside vendor/service.
OPM leverages the “Outside Service” field on the standard SyteLine Work Center to flag material that requires the services of an outside vendor. With OPM, no changes to the standard SyteLine Bill of Material are required. However, when the job material is moved into an operation flagged with an “Outside” work center, the system automatically creates a purchase order for the materials along with the necessary records to identify those items to be shipped and to which vendor.
Users also have the ability to print packing slips and ship items from a new Vendor Shipping screen. When the outside vendor completes the contracted service, items are received back into the job using the standard SyteLine Purchase Order Receiving functionality.
- Create Purchase Orders automatically and cross reference the job.
- Track partial quantities for jobs producing multiple items.
- Track job materials with lot quantities.
- Generate packing slips automatically, as required, to include with shipments.
- Receive items back from a vendor.
- Produce various reports including “Items At Vendor” and “Vendor To Be Shipped”.
