The Core Module consists of the fundamental parts of the program, and maintains the basics for the rest of the modules:To see the CORE module in action, Click Here...

The Sales Order process in BusinessMaster/Enterprise is really 2 concepts that work standalone, or together depending on your needs.

• The Line Item driven Sales Order section is within the CORE module, and allows for traditional, item based Sales Order Entry.

• This concept works very well for the classic production operation, or for basic Line Item based billing, and can be used in tandem with the Projects based Sales tools as well.

• The Project driven Sales management section allows for the management of the more complex and dynamic information associated with Project based manufacturing.

• Projects are managed for many different processes including Progress Billing, Job Phasing, and display many other data elements such as Purchase Orders, Time Collected, and Scheduling Status.

The Projects module allows for Project Management, and much, much more.

• Projects can be broken down into Phases, with each Phase having distinct Types for reference, connected by the master Job Number.
  
• Each Phase maintains its own connected data including:

  Schedule, Job Specs, Manufacturing Details, Materials Estimates and Actuals, Labor Estimates and Actuals, Real Time Labor/Dept Status, Notes, File Associations, Billing and Revenue Booking, and Dependents.

• Projects connect with Job Specific Purchase Order Line Items, and allow you to see in real time where the Purchase Order stands from within the Project screen.
  
• Each Project can have context specific reminders to yourself, or to other users, and allow a reply back with information.
  
• Reports use both the Job Number, and the Phase Number for easy filtering by Phase or whole Job.

• Firmed locks the Scheduling Dates and Quantities.

• Integrated with CORE module for StockBill/Routers, Labor, and Materials reporting.

• Integrated with Inventory module for MRP Planning.

• Integrated with Projects module for unique BOM based approach in concert with
  Project Management.

The Accounting module helps track the creation of Accounting transactions, that can then be output to QuickBooks via the QuickBooks link, or output to Accounting programs you have in house.

• PurchaseOrders drive Receivings, which drive Vouchers. Vouchers are AccountsPayable entities that can be output as a Bill to be Paid.
  
• Line Item based SalesOrders drive PackingSlips, which drive Invoices. Invoices are AccountsReceivable entities that can be output as Invoices to receive payments.
  
• Progressive Billing can be handled along with Revenue Booking against Projects.
  
• Deposits can be tracked as liabilities, and then converted to Revenue at appropriate stages.
  
• Payments against Invoices can be tracked, and output as Payments.
  
• Labor collected in the Labor module can be output as Time Trackings in QuickBooks, or sent to other programs.
