ORDERS GROSS PLANNING
This sub-module allows the production manager to simulate and visualize the effect at the plant, when he applies a set of jobs to be produced in an extended time interval. This simulation allows not only to visualize the effect at the machines capacities level, but also to estimate the required raw materials quantities to produce all the respective jobs. The first step of this process is to create the estimates (which can be recorded in a simulation documental series) of jobs which might be performed during the year (actual or next). Once the user has applied the several estimates to the gross planning mechanism, the system, according to the raw materials of each estimate, performs the global calculation of raw materials and its amount. The system issues a report with results from the materials to buy, sorted by code, quantities and respective amount (standard cost). The last step is to visualize the effect of all estimated jobs which were selected for gross planning in each of the plant's manufacturing stages and also in each machine. The system presents in a graphical way, for each machine and per week, the availability status according to the ratio working load versus capacity.

INVOICING
Sistrade® Print offers the invoicing sub-module which allows a company to elaborate and print its invoices and sales charts. More than simple invoicing, the user will be able to create pro-form invoices, credit and debit notes, among other documents. The application makes an invoice summary where it will be possible to make some adjustments in the final values. Through the document traceability feature, the user will be able to control documents generated by the sales module (estimates, orders, delivery notes, shipping bills, Jobs, invoices, etc.) and visualize a customer's list of Jobs or estimates). The sales diary feature allows to obtain a list of all the edited commercial documents, with or without VAT. Through the application it is possible to control all the delivered and invoiced jobs.

EXPEDITION
This sub-module is responsible for the management of finished goods expedition. This expedition may be inherent in the invoice itself, when it is directly decreased in the finished goods warehouse. The user may create delivery notes/shipping bills for suppliers and for customers. These notes/bills issue the exit of the material accounted as sale and record the quantities and the value. The supplier's delivery notes/shipping bills are issued so that there can be a material transportation attendance.

PACKING LIST
Sometimes, when a company works with exportation, there is the need to send a packing list along with the goods. This module solves this problem, as it allows palletizing the material, defining a packing list and creating labels with bar codes to join to the goods. The system allows to create an invoice through a packing list just by clicking a button. The palletization tool not only identifies the finished goods per pallet, but also calculates gross weight, net weight, volume and quantities, information which is required by the transporters. Through the label's bar code it is possible to trace the entire process, from the entry movement in the warehouse until the raw materials supplier.

CURRENT ACCOUNTS - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND PAYABLE
Sistrade® Print offers the Accounts Receivable and Payable sub-module on several levels, namely customers, suppliers, agents and salespersons. It handles sales and purchase documents. This module allows to record, whether for customer or to suppliers, to salespersons and agents, ledger entries, settlements and conciliation. It still allows doing the financial statements and the respective accounting. Sistrade® Print creates balance age charts for each one of the entities, issues payment notices, and expiration notices, listings with the pending documents per supplier, cash flow forecasting, balance age charts per document, etc.

WORKFLOW
Sistrade® Print also has a workflow system for estimates approval. This approval may be internal or interact with external entities through e-mail and may be total or only partial. Once the estimate is done and approved (please note that the whole process only takes a few seconds) it may be printed and sent by fax, by letter or by e-mail. After the estimate is approved, it is automatically displayed in the orders module.
