Materials Management for Infor CloudSuite Distribution (Infor SX.e)

Inventory Control Module

Efficient tools let distributors easily establish reorder points, print physical count sheets, and perform a variety of other inventory management control processes. Vendor-managed inventory management tools help manage off-site inventory controlled by vendors. The solution includes the electronic distribution of information between manufacturers and distributors to automate and streamline the process for recording and tracking transactions, such as the vendor on-sale rebate process. In addition, Distribution Business enables distributors to store nonstick products in inventory without creating a catalog or product record.

Purchasing Module

Distribution Business features advanced order control, inventory management, and other flexible capabilities to manage the purchase of both stock and nonstock products. Advanced order control lets distributors take advantage of complex ordering formulas while considering important factors such as average sale quantity. The enterprise resource planning solution also includes functionality to modify pricing based on a distributor’s unique circumstances. For example, distributors moving into a new competitive area can use the solution to reduce the margin on products in one area and not affect the price of those products in other regions.
