Dynamics GP Manufacturing in the Cloud

Discrete and Process manufacturers are challenged with gaining shop floor control, managing movements between manufacturing cells, driving their Materials Requirement Planning (MRP), tracking yield loss and labor, creating finished goods and back-flushing raw materials. One challenge they do not need … is with Cloud enabled Manufacturing.

That is why Appolis set out to create a Cloud-ready manufacturing solution for all GP Clients. One solution, whether Full MO’s or Quick MO’s, standard BOM’s or nested BOM’s, batched receipts or posting individuals receipts, continuously and on-the-fly … meaning auto-posted in real time!

Appolis Inc., in a recent joint press release announced its partnership with WilloWare Inc. to help Clients fully automate GP Manufacturing. The opportunity has been to develop a paperless and mobile way to create Finished Goods (FG) against a Manufacturing Order (MO) that can decrement Raw Materials (RM) with on-the-fly automation of lot and serial tracked items.

Appolis, offering WithoutWire™ Warehouse, is a leader in Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) for Dynamics GP and discovered that a partnership with WilloWare provided the missing element to a tight integration with GP when it comes to posting MO Receipts and Parent-Child MO Receipts automatically, on-the-fly, in real-time. WilloWare, long the experts in Dexterity coding, have recently refined their ability to automate the posting of receipts of FG’s and RM’s back to GP through its MO Generator table structures.

Appolis/WilloWare GP Manufacturing Solution Workflow:

1. Create your Manufacturing Order (MO) in Dynamics GP
2. Release MO to our WithoutWire Warehouse WMS system
3. WithoutWire verifies that you have enough Raw Materials (RM) or initiates a Pick
4. From the Wireless device in the palm of your hand: Create Finished Goods (FG) via a License Plate (LP) activation, Create a ‘material issue transaction’ or back-flush RM’s against the MO
5. Write parent/child MO Receipts real-time back to GP via WilloWare
6. Replenish RM’s JIT to Manufacturing
7. Create more FG’s, back-flush RM’s and Put-away to picking or overstock locations
8. Create Scrap at the end of the process
9. Time/Date stamp of transactions, by user, accounts for the Labor
10. Close out MO or leave it open until all production is accounted for
11. Drive your Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
12. Achieve Full Traceability for Recall and Brand protection!

Appolis WithoutWire™ and WilloWare MO Generator provide the ability to measure discrete or process manufacturing production in a timely and efficient manner. The benefits can be realized throughout the company:

1. Automated posting drives efficiency in Dynamics GP lot and serial tracking administration.
2. A SaaS/Cloud implementation provides relief to internal IT resources.
3. This new level of manufacturing automation drives your Materials Requirements Planning (MRP).
4. Real-time paperless data for JIT supply of raw materials drives efficiency, visibility … and timely decision making for Operations.
5. Scrap and Labor tracking capability, a measurement of daily yield and personnel costs can be closely monitored.
6. Corporate Image and Brand protection with end-to-end Recall capabilities helps the Executive staff sleep comfortably at night!

Everyone wins when a new to this world solution is brought to market in the most affordable fashion. And that is what compelled Appolis Inc. and WilloWare to make their latest announcement.
