Use "Masterbot", the "Microphone" icon in the bottom-right part of the screen to see Complete Customer wise Details for the Financial Year. Click on "Microphone" icon, then on "Customer Analysis" button and start typing the customer name after the "@" icon. Select your customer and see every detail of the customer in the page. You can do the same for Suppliers as well. Try other buttons too.

 

 Did you know?

When you select a customer in Enquiry or in Sales Order, a link called "[Details]" shows up next to the customer name. Click on this to get instant updates about the customer like number of quotations pending for order, number of sales orders pending for delivery and the overdue outstanding amount. This is extremely handy for sales people as they can access this information before meeting the customer.

 Best Practice

You must enter the Machine hourly rate in each of the production Machines in the Machine Type master. This is essential for product costing.

Information in the report & how to use it:

  • This report shows the rejected material still lying in Production and not returned back to stores.
  • This report helps to get back the rejection and take a call of scrapping or reworking quickly.
  • Thus this report helps to reduce the WIP value and avoids material flow stoppages and also the clutter on the shop floor.

  • MRP is now taking care of the pack size by generating requirements in multiples of the pack size defined for the Item in the item master.
  • Production scheduling can now be done for Rework activities as well
  • The Outsource Receiving report has been improved, and you can filter it by "Receiving Item after Processing" and "Receiving Item without Processing".
  • A new filter option has been added in the Invoice list/report screen that allows users to filter invoices by E-Way Bill status - whether it is generated or not generated. This helps users quickly identify pending E-Way Bill cases without manually checking each invoice.

 Case Study

HR Standard Letters

Customer Introduction:

This feature was developed for Momenta's own use way back in 2010.

Challenge

There are many letters to be issued to employees such as Offer Letter, Confirmation Letter, Warning Letter, Experience Letter, Relieving Letter, Increment Letter etc. The template of the letter is constant yet it had to be prepared manually each time. Also, the generated letter was out of the system hence, it had to be scanned and uploaded in the employee master for future reference.

The Solution:

We developed the "HR Letters" feature to address this issue. You can create and save various typical letter templates with certain fields such as name of the employee, joining date etc. as auto pick up fields. HR executives can simply select the letter template and name of the person to quickly generate the letter. The letter gets a unique Letter number and gets automatically stored in the employee master.

The Result / Benefits:

This has speeded up the process and also made it grammatically full proof. The letters also get stored for sure and are thus not missed. Any letter can be reprinted/emailed as required.
