OpenPro’s Order Entry Options Module Overview

Order Entry Module for Supply Chain Software App

Thousands of users are relying on OpenPro ERP software everyday!

The Order Entry module is designed as a high volume and fast processing method for filling and shipping orders according to inventory availability. OpenPro is rules-based and has over 500 different options within the Order Entry process. OpenPro’s business rules let the customer change which processes are being used in the Order Entry module. These options are broken down into 8 major sections:

Order Entry SOAP XML interface and CSV Import interface: As part of this configuration, we have different systems we can talk to for processing orders. Here are some examples: Ebay orders integration, Amazon orders integration, Distribution Centers integration, Supplier integration (importing products, prices updates), as well as many open source shopping carts like Zen Cart, osCommerce, WordPress WooCommerce, and MarketPress. As part of the CSV and SOAP XML interface we also talk to many other systems.

Order Entry Auto Generated Purchase Orders and Work Orders: During order entry the system will auto generate DROP ship Purchase Orders for outside suppliers and will also generate the shipping labels if needed. The system also generates intercompany Purchase Orders, in case there is one division as sales and another division as fulfillment of the sales. For manufacturers, the system can generate Work Orders; if you have an outside plant, we can generate Work Orders for those plants as well (intercompany).

Purchase Management Punchout B2B shopping cart: OpenPro works with several punchout processes for companies. This punchout uses the OpenPro punchout shopping cart and interfaces with Ariba network, punchout2go, Eplus and others, to auto generate Sales Orders from the customer’s Purchase Order.

Sales Order Configuration: This is a very powerful option within the OpenPro system; during order entry you can have a base part (like a bike) as well as additional options on that part: different seat, color, handle bars, wheels, tires, fenders, brakes, etc. The OpenPro system can generate one part with multiple options, and those options go directly into the Work Orders to assemble and pack the order for shipment. As part of these options, the system generates a model number that is used for the Sales Order process; one part “the configured bike” in inventory can have hundreds of options but not clog up your system with multiple part numbers.

Portals and Communications: The OpenPro system is designed to have several portals for employees, customers and suppliers. These optional portals are used to help communicate with the other parties; in addition, they can log in to your ERP data and see the status of information you give them access to. The Communications module auto generates emails to parties to help communicate to them and give them the status of orders. For example, a customer can log in and see the status of the manufacturing Work Order. The customer can also log in and upload documents that link directly to the Sales Order for design purposes. Suppliers fill in RFQ for Purchase Orders.

Order Entry SOAP XML interface and CSV Import interface: As part of this configuration, we have different systems we can talk to for processing orders. Here are some examples: Ebay orders integration, Amazon orders integration, Distribution Centers integration, Supplier integration (importing products, prices updates), as well as many open source shopping carts like Zen Cart, osCommerce, WordPress WooCommerce, and MarketPress. As part of the CSV and SOAP XML interface we also talk to many other systems.
