Kitting

Sicon Kitting is aimed at businesses requiring a simple, single level bill of materials module that can be amended prior to building the finished product either for Stock or directly within the Sage 200 Sales Order.

Where Sage 200 Bill of Materials is too complex, Sicon Kitting is the ideal substitute with the module providing a simple way to increase a stock item quantity (the kit) and reduce the component stock item quantities at the same time.

When combined with Sicon MRP, this extends functionality to offer suggestions for kit and component demand. In addition, when used alongside Sicon Barcoding & Warehousing, kits can be picked and built directly from a handheld device, making this a powerful, yet simple business solution.

Sicon Kitting can be purchased as part of the Manufacturing Suite:

Sicon Kitting provides a simple, single level bill of materials module that can be amended prior to building the finished product either for Stock or directly within the Sage 200 Sales Order.

Sicon Projects for Manufacturing

Integrates perfectly into bespoke manufacturing environments to capture Stock, Purchase Orders, Timesheets and other costs to give budget versus actual comparison.

Material & Resource Planning (MRP)

When used in conjunction with Sicon WOP, this module provides a simple MRP solution creating suggested Works Orders and Purchase Orders to fulfil demand. Included Rough Cut Capacity Planning delivers a real time graphical user interface for labour and machine demand against availability.

Works Order Processing (WOP)

Sicon WOP captures production data from a variety of sources, including stock, labour, machine and subcontractors, giving visibility of overall finished product costs and updating stock levels. Whilst WOP can work independently of Sage 200 BOM, when combined, this provides enhanced functionality to create Works Orders.

Functionality  can be extended with the addition of Sicon Shop Floor Data Capture and/or Sicon Barcoding & Warehousing.

Shop Floor Data Capture (SFDC)

An Android based app that links to both the Sicon WOP and Sicon Projects to allow real-time capture of operation progress and elapsed times.  The addition of this module allows users to issue allocated stock and record inspection results.

Barcoding & Warehousing

An Android based app that allows manufacturing businesses to interact more efficiently with Sage 200.  Examples include, receiving and putting away stock, picking and issuing stock to a Works Order and despatching Sales Orders.

Key Features

  • Fully Integrated with Sage 200 | Sicon Kitting is written within the Sage 200 development environment using the Sage business objects to control the transaction posting and utilising the latest Microsoft technologies for user interface.
  • Real-time Data Availability | Real-time data access ensures Sage 200 information is up to date and all in one place, meaning you don’t need to access multiple data systems to see a clear view of the business.
  • Streamlined Processes | When using the Sicon Kitting module alongside Sicon Barcoding & Warehousing, the individual kit components will be displayed for the warehouse handheld user to pick, pack and despatch. The kit is built in the background, ensuring stock levels and costings are maintained.

Key Benefits

  • Additional features includes an option to disassemble a finished kit item back into it’s component parts, reducing the stock balance of the kit and increasing the component levels.
  • Improve stock control by allocating and issuing component parts more quickly.  Can be integrated with Sage SOP or used on its own to build finished products.
  • The cost of all the components in the kit are added to create the exact cost of the finished item. Kit cost and selling prices can also update the sales order line details.
  • Option to produce a pick list report for the items used and amended in a kit build.

Sicon Modules that Integrate with Sicon Kitting

  • Barcoding & Warehousing | Allows for the build of a kit, but also the component picking, for kitted items in a Sales Order, resulting in a build on despatch.
  • Courier Integration | Allows for the selected courier label to be produced and the instruction to collect to be communicated at the point of despatch.
  • Distribution – Preallocations | Pre-allocations are automatically set to fulfil kit demand, both at component at finished item level.
  • Material & Resource Planning | When combined with Sicon MRP, this extends functionality to offer suggestions for kit and component demand.
  • Works Order Processing | When combined with MRP, whether you have a BOM in a kit or a kit in a BOM, MRP will provide recommendations to build and prealloate accordingly.
