Applications on ScipioERP

Setup

scipio-erp-setup-organization

The first step of the setup application: the organization. Every later step hangs off the company you create here.

A fresh Scipio ERP install has a framework, a data model and no company. The setup application walks the distance between the two. It is the first screen you open after the first start, and it is worth opening again later, because it also reports what an existing install is still missing.

scipio-erp-content-search

The content search screen: every content record of the install, with its type, its status and the data resource behind it.

The content application is the layer under the CMS . The CMS builds pages and templates; content holds the pieces the pages are built from, and everything else in the system that is text, a picture or a file.

Profile Example

The human resource management application (“HR”) is designed to simplify the management of employees and to standardize the recruitment and training process inside of companies. It is here, that new openings (employee positions) can be created and applicants can be evaluated.

The human ressource management application gives detailed access to employee information. All skills, qualifications & trainings, position history, leave (vacation & medical) and even their payroll history can be stored and accessed. The application is interconnected with the User Management application, which contains all the detailed information to a particular user (in a way, being an employee is just a specific attribute to an otherwise existing user).

Requests (questions raised by customers)

Warehouse Management – Dashboard

Product inventory item definitions can be manually defined through these or imported from external sources. Inventory reservations and item counts for the warehouse are automatically adjusted during order entry, placement and modifications, based on product inventory item definitions and rules.

The warehouse application generally supports the administration of facilities (warehouses, brick-and-mortar stores, manufacturing sites etc.) and the shipping of goods. All incoming and outgoing shipments can be traced and individual shipments managed. Shipping features the individual allocation of goods to shipments, split shipping, drop shipping, the creation of packing slips, route and shipment plans and more. Our shipment gateways are pre-configured to support automated cost calculation by means of external APIs. Currently the following carriers are supported: USPS, DHL, UPS, FedEx.

scipio-erp-work-effort-tasks

The activity and task list: what is assigned to the signed-in user, with its status, its dates and the effort it belongs to.

A work effort is any piece of work the system needs to remember. That is a wider idea than a task list, and it is on purpose: the same record type carries

Fundamental Manufacturing Concepts and Processes#

In an automation system that implements any sort of manufacturing capabilities, your business may choose to employ either one or a combination of both of the following main processes:

Make to Stock (MTS): This process is triggered by the need to maintain minimum stock levels of products, ensuring that you always have inventory on hand in a warehouse or shop to fulfill customer orders promptly.
Make to Order (MTO): This process is initiated by specific customer orders, with each product being manufactured specifically for the individual customer. There is no need to hold stock in a warehouse or shop.

In order to support these manufacturing processes effectively, it is also essential to have the correct raw materials in stock at the appropriate time. Ths is where “Raw Materials Procurement” comes into play.
