Job Estimating and Project Accounting Software Success Story with Acumatica Manufacturing Edition

April 18, 2019 By Art Olsen

Acumatica Manufacturing Edition with Job Estimating and Project Accounting Software

In a previous article, we outlined 4 reasons Acumatica Manufacturing Edition (AME) is a great fit for growing manufacturers. As Acumatica Certified partners, we support, implement and train manufacturers to help improve their manufacturing processes with Acumatica. Here’s a summary of our project involving job estimating and project accounting software and more.

Job estimating and project accounting software

We are currently helping an Acumatica customer who does both custom job manufacturing and repetitive manufacturing implement AME. It’s exciting to share the progress we made so far. In their prior system, they struggled with multiple non-integrated systems. Integration was a top priority so we helped merge separate but often related business processes:

  • Prospect management and sales cycle management
  • Job estimating
  • Production planning and scheduling
  • Production management
  • Accounting and payroll
  • Labor collection
  • Spreadsheets

The following common job costing, project accounting and manufacturing challenges we also addressed:

  • Eliminated disparate systems requiring duplicate data entry which is highly inefficient
  • Eliminated job estimating done in spreadsheets which are prone to errors
  • Improved margin analysis on jobs by moving cost collection to the major component level instead of the job level
  • Increased visibility into job status
  • Incorporated sales tax calculation automation on quotes and orders saving time

Acumatica is an integrated solution for manufacturing environments including make-to-stock, make-to-order, engineer-to-order, project-centric, job shop, repetitive, and batch processing. This customer is now set up with a modern job costing along with manufacturing including the following:

  • Sales opportunities and quoting
  • Job estimating at the major component level based on budgeted material and labor costs with markup flexibility at the component and job levels
  • Project accounting captures costs and revenue at the major component level and for services provided across the job
  • Materials requirements planning drives consolidated purchasing to jobs by rolling up purchased items from across the major components
  • Production management provides job status visibility and cost capture
  • Project accounting provides progress and retainage billing to support industry billing preferences
  • Change order management for internal and external change requests
  • Automate sales tax management via a link to Avalara
  • Real-time margin analysis provided at the major component and job level

The Acumatica Manufacturing Edition integrates with the Customer, Inventory, Order Management, eCommerce, Financial, Project and Service Management Suites. As experienced manufacturing and ERP systems consultants, we help you adopt a successful strategy for growth using modern manufacturing technology in the Acumatica Manufacturing Edition platform.
