abas Business Software - Sector inde- pendent for medium-sized companies

abas Business Software is used independently of the sector of industry in production, trade and service companies. Over 1,700 medium-sized companies in different sec- tors work with the flexible abas Business Software worldwide - the amount of people operating the system ranges from approx. 10 to over 1,000 employees. Globalization with its increasingly hard competition leaves its mark in production. Quickness, high quality standards and prices which can withstand the world mar- ket are becoming more and more important, as customers can quickly and easily compare them to those of the competition. The abas Business Software features a product configurator which is integrated into the standard. The structure, or the defined standard, which is created by the product configurator, can now create and manage the sales order dependent individuality using the editable quotation and sales order BOM. Therefore, it is not necessary to allocate a new product number for every change. Nowadays, purchasing and production already start with items that are required in the fifth structure level, even though the structure levels 1-4 have not been produced or are in part not even known. With the structured, planned release option of the individual assemblies and the editable quotation and sales order BOM, abas ERP perfectly supports the “growing BOM structure“ of machine and plant engineering companies. As abas ERP depicts the project in an integrated structure from the very beginning, simultaneous costing and the fully integrated cost object accounting can support the project controlling at any time. The customized BOM structure is saved in a BOM archive which is linked to the machine specification sheet. Subsequent modifications are also documented in this archive or service BOM. The service department thus has all the information required to support the customers. With the eBusiness solution abas eB, up-to-date and individual BOMs are always available to the customers. The field service uses this function to document changes in realtime.
