SAP Business ByDesign for make-to-order manufacturers

For medium-sized companies that sell custom-made products or products in small quantities and that view the growing demands of customers for service and value as a challenge, this scenario optimizes the entire order fulfillment process.
You can increase your profitability by reacting efficiently to customer demands on the basis of availability information in real time, thereby increasing sales and reducing the cost of sales at the same time.
SAP Business ByDesign helps with the efficient management of the order processing process – from order management to production planning and storage to billing.

Main advantages

• Product specifications enable companies to define and process individual customer requirements and product variants. They are fully integrated in an end-to-end business process that includes customer order acceptance, procurement planning, production, procurement and delivery.

• The product specification is a permanent document that can be used several times and thus helps to reduce the effort involved in master data management.

• The storage costs for products are reduced because overproduction and returns are recognized by the system and can then be reused to meet new customer requirements.

• The quality check is integrated in the production process.

• Identified (batches, lots) and restricted stocks can be managed.

• Automatic inventory valuation for raw materials, work in progress and finished products.

• Scalable process for deferring revenues with the support of different accounting regulations.

• Integrated analyzes enable you to drill down to profit and loss results along with dimensions such as products, customer groups and sales channels.
