PSL DATATRACK INTRODUCES GOODS RECEIVED ‘BAR WIZARD’ FOR ENHANCED TRACEABILITY
Estimated reading time 3 minutes
PSL Datatrack, a leading provider of production control software for subcontract precision engineers, has released its latest innovative feature: the Goods Received ‘Bar Wizard’. This new tool takes traceability to the next level, enabling individual bar traceability beyond the traditional level of batch monitoring.
PSL Datatrack enables its users to manufacture quality components that are right first time, sold at the right price and delivered on time. The system provides vital information to management and the shop floor in the most efficient way possible and is scalable to meet the unique requirements of the business using it. Starting with a quotation, the system navigates the user through sales orders, purchasing, scheduling, quality and more, ending at the point of customer invoice.
The new ‘Bar Wizard’ is integrated within the Goods Received module, offering users a quick and efficient method to create separate Goods Received Notes (GRNs) for each bar within a delivery. This utility is designed to meet the stringent traceability needs of customers who must track individual bars of material, whether purchased in metres or kilograms, to meet the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and other accreditations.
An additional button appears when booking in materials, providing an intuitive user interface. Users can continue to raise a single GRN in the traditional manner or switch to the ‘Bar Wizard’ for detailed itemisation, specifying lengths or weights for each bar received. The utility opens in its own frame, allowing users to see booking details concurrently and ensuring all quantities are accurately accounted for before finalising the GRNs.
The Goods Received module itself is designed to track complete receipts with full traceability and storage of Supplier/Mill certificates. It automatically updates corresponding purchase orders and material stock records, ensuring seamless integration and accurate inventory management. It also ensures that the user does not have to re-enter any purchasing data at the purchase invoicing stage.
“Goods Received also simplifies the process of partially received orders, making the outstanding balance clearly visible and ensuring secure digital storage of all relevant supplier documentation,” comments Geoff Gartland, Managing Director of PSL Datatrack.
PSL Datatrack continues to develop features that streamline production processes, enabling its customers to save time, increase sales and ultimately maintain a steady cash flow. The new ‘Bar Wizard’ is another testament to PSL Datatrack’s aim to supply a practical, simple and logical solution to controlling production and helping users to manage their businesses more efficiently.
“The introduction of the ‘Bar Wizard’ marks a significant advancement in how our customers can manage their material traceability,” Geoff concludes. “This feature not only supports our commitment to precision and efficiency but also caters to the growing demand for detailed traceability in the subcontract precision engineering industry.”
