Estimating —
Sage MAS 500 |
Do you know if a new part is going to make you money or
cost you money?
Do you lose business to
your competitors
because your estimates are too high? The Sage MAS 500
ERP Estimating module
provides detailed estimating
capabilities to help you increase business while improving
your bottom
line.
Estimates provide more than an educated guess regarding
total cost of
production because they
include materials,
outside processing and labor, as
well as overhead rates
and one-time charges for
tooling and engineering.
Estimates can be converted to a customer quote or directly
to a sales order with
a simple mouse-click.
Further, an
estimate may be copied to or from an existing routing and
bill of material. This allows you
to quickly create new
estimates
based on similar items or previous estimates.
Estimates can even be
created from existing work orders.
This is critical because you can use the actual material quantities,
scrap yields, and actual costs from a similar job to produce more accurate quotes. |
 |
Enable your estimating department by providing flexible markup codes for up to five different
quantities of parts. You can choose how to mark up materials, labor, outside processing, tooling, and
other costs.
Final estimates provide insightful production information, including total cost, cost per piece, total
price, price per piece and gross profit.
Estimating is compatible with either Light or Advanced Manufacturing. The optional Product
Configurator module can help engineers by allowing them to create custom-designed routings and
bills of material using sophisticated configuration rules. These configured routing and bills of material
can be copied to a new part estimate. |

Features: |
|
Use raw materials and component item costs from inventory in new part estimates. |
|
Set up new labor standards for production processes while utilizing existing work
center overhead rates. |
|
Include incremental scrap costs, setup, re-setup, and additional labor-related costs. |
|
Include one-time costs, such as tooling or engineering, for more accurate estimates. |
|
Attachments, such as engineering drawings and customer specifications and
correspondence, can be attached to each estimate. |
|
An estimate and quote may contain up to five different quantities of parts. |
|
Each quantity on an estimate may be assigned a different markup code. |
|
Markup codes contain markup percentages for materials, labor, outside processing,
one-time charges, and other production costs and operations. |
|
Virtually unlimited internal notes can be created for each estimate. Internal notes
print on the estimate but not on quotations. |
|
External notes appear on both the internal estimate and the customer quote. |
|
General notes may be entered for each material, labor, or outside process step
required in the production of the estimated part. |
