Activant Prophet 21 provides all of the functionality you need to efficiently manufacture, stock, track, and sell assemblies, kits, and other complex items. With this functionality, you have the ability to bundle items - like tools in a toolbox or components of a pump - that are commonly sold together, eliminating the need to re-enter the same set of SKUs over and over again.
On more complex products, like pumps and other engineered items, Prophet 21 lets you track labour costs and work in progress. Prophet 21 will track the finished product from order entry until completion, allowing all costs to be associated with the finished product. Prophet 21 also offers functionality to break kits and assemblies down, and return components to stock.
Get It Together
Prophet 21's light manufacturing functionality enables you to keep items like a complete toolbox or fully-assembled pump in your solution, at one price with one item code, eliminating the need to re-enter a long list of line-items each time you sell and assemble them.
The same functionality also takes the guesswork out of determining how many items or kits you can assemble with what you have in stock. When your customer calls to request an item with more than one part, the solution searches your database, finds all of the components necessary to manufacture a kit or assembly, and calculates the least common denominator of these pieces.
Many times, one assembly might be made up of other assemblies. Rather than keying in every component necessary, Prophet 21 offers multi-level billing of materials capabilities.
Break It Down
With Prophet 21's disassemblies capabilities, you can bring an assembly or kit into your warehouse, tear it down, and sell its individual components through Prophet 21's return-to-stock functionality, allowing you to sell an assembly without a certain component - or even exchange one component for another.
For example, if a customer wants a standard pump with a custom valve, you can exchange one valve for another, and return the initial valve to stock for sale to another customer. Prophet 21 provides you with the ability to efficiently track and organise inventory that might normally end up being discarded.
