You are currently viewing documentation for CompuTec ProcessForce 2.0, which is still supported.
We recommend upgrading to CompuTec ProcessForce 3.0, which is a plugin installed and managed through CompuTec AppEngine 3.0, built on .NET 8.
However, please note that CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 has a different architecture, and all CompuTec components, including the CompuTec ProcessForce 3.0 plugin, need to be updated together to ensure full compatibility.
Before starting your installation or upgrade process, we strongly recommend reviewing the CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 and CompuTec ProcessForce 3.0 documentation.
Overview
To efficiently manage the Subcontract Assembly and Free Issue materials process, CompuTec ProcessForce utilizes the following key functions:
- Bill of Materials (BOM): defines the items to be assembled, categorized as External.
- Manufacturing Order: manages inventory issues, receipts, external work-in-progress (WIP), and WIP variance journals.
- Inventory Management: allows for manual picking or backflushing of inventory.
- Inventory Transfers: facilitates the movement of inventory from the central warehouse to the subcontractor warehouse, linked to the Manufacturing Order.
- Purchase Order and Goods Receipt PO: used for services based on Non-Inventory Items, with reference to the Manufacturing Order.
- Automatic Goods Receipt PO: triggered when Subcontract production is booked.
- Batch Traceability: managed via manual picking or backflushing, following FIFO, FEFO, or FMFO methods.
- Cost Analysis: compares planned versus actual costs.
