ABSTRACT

This project encircles all major concepts associated with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). It has been carried out using the software named DBA Manufacturing NEXT GENERATION. It is based on an assumed company named PaperSol, which provides/ supplies standard paper sizes to other industries. Specifically, the software has been used to purchase and sale one carton of standard A4 papers to another industry (assumed to be Unilever Pakistan). The company has two suppliers named Paper Rolls Supplier and Cartons Supplier, which supply one paper roll and one carton to PaperSol, whereas PaperSol manufactures itself the standard A4 papers in-house. The POs, SOs and Invoices have all been represented in this report.

SECTION 2 INVENTORY
2.1. INVENTORY SETUP

In the Inventory tab, the Inventory Setup helps identify the default settings of the inventory (unit of measure, picking & issues location etc.) along with settings related to item categories as per the requirement of the companys product. 2.1.1. Inventory Defaults Owing to objective of PaperSol, the unit of measure (UM) is taken as Rolls, because this company purchases paper rolls (Figure 2.1) of the finest quality (80 grams) from different suppliers weighing thirty kilograms (30 kg) each. Figure 2.2 below shows more default settings.

Figure 2.2 below gives a complete description of each category. For example, PSA-S10 includes all standard A size papers like A4, A3, A2 and A1, where PS means PaperSol and A signifies the standard paper size category and S10 will be used to identify the item code described in the next part.

Figure 2.3 - PaperSol Item Categories (highlighted in red) 2.2. STOCK ITEMS

In the Inventory tab, the Stock Items screen helps create Item IDs or Item Codes for products with respect to each category along with its costing details. PaperSol identifies five separate item codes or item IDs for each of its five categories as defined in Section 2.1.2 above. Figure 2.4 describes the format of Item ID chosen for this company.
