5. MISys Manufacturing System Executive Summary The MISys Manufacturing System has been present in the market place since 1982 The product s focus has always been to offer a user friendly solution to small to medium sized manufacturers The product has now reached a base of 6 000 installed sites in over 45 countries making it one of the most installed manufacturing solutions in the world There are two versions of the MISys Manufacturing System MISys SAE for Accpa ERP and MISys SBM Either version of MISys can operate as a stand alone product or integrated with a variety of accounting systems MISys Small Business Manufacturing SBM integrates with QuickBooks Premiere Pro and Enterprise editions Sage Peachtree Accounting Sage Simply Accounting Sage Accpac ERP and Microsoft Office Accounting MISys SBM works best for smaller to mid sized companies who employee 100 or less and have simpler accounting packages such as QuickBooks Peachtree or Simply accounting or nothing at all It s best for make to stock make to order and food and beverage manufacturers who all have lead times associated with acquiring materials and need expanded bills of materials and production control MISys SBM is modular so smaller manufacturers can get started with just the basic module and then expand into production and scheduling as their manufacturing operation grows MISys SBM was developed using Microsoft NET For maximum performance and scalabi
6. antity of the inventoried item is available in each container This is the task handled adeptly by the MISys SBM Bin Tracking module Bin sensitive Transactions With Bin Tracking enabled some subtle and other not so subtle changes occur in many MISys SBM functions For example most stock transfer windows which require the entry of a Location number now have an additional Bin number field The Receive on Purchase Order function requires the entry of a corresponding Bin number In some transactions such as Manufacturing Order transactions the corresponding Bin number is not immediately known and it would be bothersome to stop and ask for a Bin number for every inventory transaction during a complex _ back flushing operation For this reason MISys offers special deferred and automatic assign modes Deferred Bin Assignment In the deferred bin assignment mode MISys SBM records bin sensitive inventory transactions in an Assignment Log The log shows all bin sensitive transactions for which Bin assignments have not been made allowing the user to record corresponding Bin numbers at a convenient time after the transaction actually occurs As the assignments are made the transactions disappear from the log Automatic Bin Assignment In the automatic mode MISys SBM assigns Bin numbers to bin sensitive inventory transactions based on a priority number which can be optionally assigned to each Bin This priority nu
