SAP B1 & BEAS
The BEAS discrete manufacturing suite is a fully automated manufacturing resource management solution that extends SAP Business One with the concept of manufacturing resources such as work centers, tools and employees. These resources are implemented through the entire production process, from capacity calendars and homogenous resource management to automated scheduling, MRP2, delay management and manual or semi-automatic rescheduling.
BEAS Advanced Manufacturing comes with a Manufacturing Cost Calculation module. This highly flexible and integrated calculation engine can be used to calculate estimated (BoM-based) prices and actual production costs (production orders). The add-on is fully compatible with the make to order (MTO) planning solution of BEAS and can easily be extended by adding the shop floor integration solutions from BEAS.
