This post is the second in a three-part series that explains how to set up for Process Manufacturing in MISys Manufacturing Software. In the first post, we learned how to set up items. In this second installment, we focus on the Bill of Material (BOM) setup.

In this video series, developed specifically on how to set up for Process Manufacturing, we will help you identify the points to pay attention during your setup.  

Do you dread the Year-end because of the inventory count and the difficult task of adjusting your inventory levels? Central Nervous Systems has tools for you to make it easier to adjust your inventory levels and to check for invalid or duplicate entries along the way.

MISys EXT allows for the printing of labels using mobile and stationary Zebra Link-OS printers.

Central Nervous Systems has developed a Landed Cost Application specifically for MISys Manufacturing. It is a web based application that will allow users to affectively add additional costs to the cost of inventory.

Inventory Snapshot Utility is another feature developed by Central Nervous Systems to make your manufacturing job easier.

Boot Utility is a feature developed by Central Nervous Systems to help you kick inactive users out of MISys Manufacturing.

Shop Operation Mobile (SOM) is a web application that allows users to transact MISys shop operations. It is designed to use barcode as the primary mode for data entry – for user authentication, selecting MO no. and selecting operation no. This is facilitated by a CNS’ modified MO traveler to print MO no. and operation no. in a barcode.

If your teams are not systematically closing out old MO’s, or PO’s then your database likely has a large number of “open” records that still have the ability to have transactions posted against them. With MISys 6.4.3 there is a great new way to close out multiple records at a time, which will be a HUGE timesaver for your team in the event you might need to close out these old records and tidy up your database records.

You probably have hundreds if not thousands of closed MO’s, WO’s and PO’s sitting in your database forcing you to filter for open records or move forward to the last page just to get to that last PO or MO you just entered. Well with MISys 6.4.3, there is now a nice new feature that will allow you to bypass all those extra clicks.

30 minutes of discovery into ways that you can extend MISys beyond what you are doing today.

When choosing the number of records to display in MISys, your primary focus should balance ease of use and performance. If you have a large dataset or years of transactional records, you cannot avoid pagination.
