Boyum Produmex Manufacturing keeps supply and capacity in balance
The Boyum Produmex Manufacturing add-on is an MRP 2 (manufacturing resource planning) concept that supports production scheduling on additional planning levels. It is the ideal solution for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) faced with the task of balancing supply and demand according to the availability of materials and capacity.
Boyum Produmex Manufacturing has received multiple certifications and awards and is a globally available solution for SAP Business One. After constantly being developed for years, it now provides solutions to more than 200 international customers.
Over the past few years, the basic characteristics have been further improved to make the software ideally tailored to the application opportunities of SAP Business One. In practical applications, the Produmex Manufacturing add-on is limited to a manageable size, avoiding unnecessarily complicated functionality.
SAP Business One concepts were adopted from the very start, and the add-on was developed modularly. This means that it can be configured with SAP Business One development tools such as user tables, UDFs (user-defined fields), SAP UI forms, user queries, and the SAP DI API.
