 Tip

In the month of April, all reports in OurSys show only April data and this can be irritating. This happens because, the default date range set in OurSys is financial year. But you can change the setting for every report to whatever range you like by going to Masters >> Basic Masters >> Date Range Configuration. Here each user can set the range as per his/her personal choice.

 

 Did you know?

Did you know that you can store all standard formats and documents in organised folders in OurSys? Every user can then easily download the document as required. This can be done using the feature System Document Uploads in the Masters under Utilities. This is useful to store blank formats, certifications, user manuals, machine manuals etc.

 Best Practice

You must use OurSys Bill Passing feature to ensure the correct amount is paid to the supplier considering PO rate and accepted quantity. This also ensures that payment is not more than once by mistake and debit notes get raised whenever there is rejection.

 Case Study

Sales order wise Budget Control

Customer Introduction:

This company is involved In Designing, Manufacturing, Supplying, Erection and Commissioning of Air Pollution Control Devices and Biomass Drying.

Challenge

Each of their order is a project and a tight control on the purchasing cost was required

The Solution:

We have now developed Sales order (Project) wise Budget Control. This feature lets users set budgets by Item Category and Account Ledger for each Sales Order. The system validates budget usage at key stages. It warns during Purchase Order creation if the budget is exceeded, blocks PO approval (unless it is adjusted), and prevents Supplier Invoice registration if the linked Sales Order's budget is exceeded.

The Result / Benefits:

This has given a tight control on the expenses that are incurred during the execution of project.
