    Versatile functions: materials management in proALPHA ERP

    Stay on top of your stock

    proALPHA ERP provides different valuation rates so you can valuate your stock as required. For your own products, you can use freely definable valuation schemes that are based on national and international standards.

    proALPHA maps the complete stock on hand, changes in stock, and material consumptions in the ERP modules, thereby ensuring that accounting and controlling are always up-to-date. It also establishes a synchronized quantity and value flow throughout your company. If required, you can first simulate the impact on the balance sheet with the ERP software before the valuations are finally transmitted to accounting.

    Practical warehouse management based on lot and serial numbers

    Seamless tracing of the components and assemblies in a product is indispensable, not only in the case of a customer complaint. proALPHA ERP for inventory control features reliable lot management which provides information at the push of a button.

    Serial numbers are assigned to each part to clearly identify them. They belong to the product file, which records any information on the specific product. This is beneficial for repairing and retooling as you know exactly what replacement parts your customers need.
