Expandable ERP

Electronic Data Transmission (Supplier Trading Partners)

Expandable’s ELECTRONIC DATA TRANSMISSION (EDT) module provides import and export capabilities for data rich translation and mapping into standard EDI documents. To support the broad range of EDI options between two business partners, Expandable provides comprehensive export data sets and a minimum import data set in flat file formats transmitted via SFTP to an EDI translation, mapping and delivery provider. The Value Added Network service provider or custom translation and delivery application takes the data required by the target trading partner and maps the data per user specifications and delivers them securely to the end trading partner. File transfers are supported with Secure FTP (SFTP) from Expandable to SFTP Server(s). Each trading partner is supported by their own unique FTP setup and credentials, trading data and production/test mode of delivery within the Expandable Customer Master linking to EDT Partner SFTP server.

e‑Purchase Order Requisitions

e‑PURCHASE ORDER REQUISITIONS module provides authorized employees a convenient and efficient way to process requisitions. Employees use the Web to enter, review, and approve/reject purchase requisitions for stock and expense purchases. Once the requisition has been approved, the buyer uses the Expandable Workbench function to convert the requisition to a purchase order. Any time a requisition is amended, approved or rejected, the system automatically notifies key personnel. All functions use the Expandable security and licensing.

Lot Tracking

Expandable’s extensive LOT TRACKING capacity provides the traceability of purchased or manufactured items from raw material receipt to a finished product’s final destination. Lot Tracking improves quality by monitoring expired lots, tracing defective materials back to vendors and to customers who were shipped defective product, and provide information to satisfy governmental reporting requirements for the pharmaceutical and medical instrumentation industries.

PO From SO Create Workbench

PO FROM SO CREATE WORKBENCH provides the option to generate a Purchase Order directly from Sales Orders created in the Expandable system. A ​“Create PO” checkbox is added to the Sales Order Editor, allowing users to streamline the buying process by initiating a purchase order as part of the Sales Order entry process. The PO from SO Create Workbench is especially advantageous for companies outsourcing elements of production to contract manufacturers who drop ship orders directly to the end customer. Using the workbench, a buyer is able to review the buy demands before the actual purchase orders are created. The buyer is able to select all or individual orders and create POs directly from the sales order that’s driving demand. The Workbench allows a buyer to complete the entire order and purchasing process without needing to re-enter information or open multiple application windows.

Purchasing

“After implementation Expandable gave us the tools that led to improving our inventory turns from 1.5 to 3.0 in approximately eighteen months” – Vice President of Operations, Expandable Customer. PURCHASING optimizes buyer effectiveness by simplifying buying decisions, vendor analysis and purchase order (PO) creation. Expandable’s Purchasing function tracks POs from quotation and/or requisition, through placement with the vendors, receipt and/or inspection and final disposition of inventory. Inquiries display vendor status information including vendor master, POs, purchase history, AP invoice and AP checks.

Product Serial Number Tracking improves quality by monitoring and tracing defective materials back to vendors and to customers who were shipped defective product, and provide information to satisfy governmental reporting requirements for the pharmaceutical and medical instrumentation industries.
