Quoting

Sales Quotes are estimates for goods or services. Like a purchase requisition (RQ), an SQ is informational and does not represent a current demand on company resources. A Sales Quote can be converted into a Sales Order. Alternately, a Sales Order may be created without first creating an SQ.

Orders

The Orders Module is one of the key elements of the 585 system. Transactions made in the Orders Module drive or provide input into other modules in 585

Accounting

585's Accounting Module is used to process, track, and report financial information for the enterprise. The modular design facilitates separation of duties within the company, allowing interoperability with other 585 modules. This maintains continuity from purchasing and sales through Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, cash management, account posting and reporting.

Requirements

On-time delivery of quality goods to customers is the goal of any manufacturing enterprise and the Shortage module is designed to meet that goal. A Demand for goods is created by Sales Orders and Jobs created with a stock quantity. When the demand for goods exceeds the supply, a shortage is created. Materials and other necessary items that have a shortage must be purchased or made to satisfy the shortage and in addition the shortages must be satisfied to meet customer due dates. Planners use the 585 Shortage Module to identify materials that are in short supply and when to have jobs completed and purchased items delivered so that deliver commitments are met for the customer.

Service

The Service Module can be used to track serial numbers and repair work done to the serial numbers over time as well as any recalls issued.

Contacts

The Contacts module allows for creating and editing new Companies and Contacts.

Employee

This module stores relevant information for past and present employees, as well as applicants. Features in this module will allow tracking of vacation day usage and attendance, setting of shift start and stop times, and controlling PO purchase limits.
