| ManEx Solution - 20 - Work Order Numbering |
ManEx Case Solution
ManEx will allow users to control Work Order Numbers both manually and automatically. Users are able to select their preferred method in the system setup.
Companies that elect to use an intelligent numbering system enable users to enter their own work order number upon work order creation. The work order number field is used throughout the system so the intelligent number will be visible as needed.
Companies that wish to let the system maintain the work order numbers need only select the starting number. To facilitate additional reporting and data collection, ManEx has the following tools:
- Project Management* - This module allows users to allocate work orders and sales orders to a project. This facilitates simplified reporting allowing users to gather information on jobs regardless of the number of assemblies or levels in a project.
- Custom Reports - The ability to create custom reports, allows users to setup special reports to streamline the reporting process.
NE Company determined that there were benefits to an intelligent numbering system, but for them, the cost to convert to and maintain that system eliminated any benefit. Knowing the limitations and tendencies of their team, they determined that an intelligent numbering system would require too much additional effort to maintain.
Instead of converting to a full intelligent system, they opted to more fully utilize the fields and modules they owned in order to gain the most important benefits of intelligent numbering. Using the Project Module, they were able to link disparate jobs together and report on sales, labor, and materials. They also were able to identify special jobs and process them accordingly.
Although Dan preferred his familiar method, he was pleased to see the team implement the important changes and realize greater visibility and control.
