Wholesale Distribution

Sage X3 ERP distribution functionality is comprised of three domains — Sales, Purchasing, and Inventory.

Sage X3 ERP Sales enable you to monitor all information concerning customers or prospects, manage sales force assignments, and monitor corresponding targets and commissions. This module provides a quick look at information concerning products, price lists, discounts, and carriers, among others. You can issue customer quotations, book orders and transmit order acknowledgments, manage contracts, display and allocate goods from stock, and manage the dispatch and loan of goods prior to invoicing.

Sage X3 ERP Purchasing covers the purchasing process from end to end, starting with the management of requests for quotes (RFQs), input and follow-up of replies, and integration into the price list base. This is followed by purchase requests, orders raised and delivery monitoring, subcontract orders, buyer workloads, and management of signature circuits through to incoming goods reception and verification of invoices. Analytical tools are used to monitor exchanges with suppliers to meet the main objectives of the purchasing department in terms of quality assurance, compliance with delivery dates, and purchase cost.

Integration into the accounting system is automatic through preliminary and firm commitments. This provides operational budget control from purchasing requests to the issue of orders. Actual data is integrated automatically through the management of invoices receivable and definitive invoices. Accounting procedures involving averaging expenses in relation to service provision periods are also available.

Sage X3 ERP Inventory ensures optimum coherence and real-time monitoring of inventory status data. Inventory control is fully user-definable on each site with the application of multisite, multi-warehouse, and multi-location management. The module also incorporates some powerful quality control functions, such as inventory replenishment, also providing for total traceability of inventory quantities in real-time, both upstream and downstream, by material flow management.
