Works Order Processing

Whether you are involved in simply configuring products to order, or you need to manage the assembly of complex products over long periods of time, Exchequer's Works Order Processing (WOP) provides you with the control and traceability you need to help you manage the supply of your products on-time and within budget.

WOP is fully integrated with the Exchequer Stock Control, Bill of Materials and Financial modules. It also integrates with the Sales and Purchase Order Processing modules if installed, which provide many more useful features, such as being able to create Works Orders directly from a sales order.

Should a Bill of Material contain several other assemblies, the Works Order wizard gives you the option of automatically generating a chain of Works Orders for any sub-assemblies that may be required.

Selecting the Works Order option on a sales order displays a Works Order Wizard to guide you through the generation of Works Orders.

Issuing parts to a Works Order is simple and issue notes can also be printed to go with the goods. Component parts can easily be swapped with alternatives and unders/overs are easily managed. Bar charts at the bottom of each Works Order show the percentage issued and built.
