In some manufacturing enterprises, traditional processing of supplied materials is usually used. Consider the following scenario:
Company A is a computer manufacturer and purchases the keyboard it needs from Company B (we call it A placing an order for BOM, Bill of Materials) from Company B. Company B determines the raw materials needed for the keyboard. Some of the raw materials will be produced by themselves, and some of the raw materials will be purchased from suppliers. C purchases (C will give B a quotation). After B receives C's quotation, plus its own reasonable profit and labor costs, it finally generates a new quotation Quote and returns it to customer A. This has established a supply chain ecosystem of "customer-company-supplier".
Traditionally, B still uses Excel for summary when quoting to A. The disadvantages include (1) the inability to track BOM changes. The BOM list sent by the customer will not be static. When the BOM changes, Excel cannot track the change.
(2) It is impossible to track changes in raw material prices. For example, for the same screw, different suppliers have different quotations for raw materials. The best should be selected, but Excel cannot track such changes.
(3) Changes in corporate profits. As a manufacturing enterprise, a certain amount of profit, labor costs, machine loss, etc. need to be added. When the data in the company changes, the quotation system needs to be optimized. This system is designed to solve the problem of BOM list and
Quote was developed based on quote issues.
In the relationship chain of "Customer A - Company B - Supplier C", this system is mainly used by Company B, aiming to open up the quotation link of the supply chain.
Venus quotation system protects several modules such as suppliers, raw materials, and customers. When using it, materials need to be added first.
Then add the BOM finished product list.
Next, create a quotation based on the finished product list.
When making a quotation, the system sets the raw material costs, profit margins, management fees, etc. of the finished product.
