The Frontier Project Tracker is designed
to address the business requirements associated with the quotation,
tracking, and ongoing management of large scale development projects.
This type of project typically has multiple product releases planned
over a time horizon, with each release being based on a standardized
set of plans, options and product categories finalized and agreed
upon during the bidding process. The Project Tracker is fully integrated
with the Frontier® ERP System, leveraging Frontier® ERP
based customer, product, configuration, cost and pricing data, as
well as automatically generating sales orders to process product
releases. The Financial aspects of contract management and contract
billing have also been addressed within the Frontier Project Tracker.
Frontier Project Tracker Supports:
- Definition of a project hierarchy, highlighting multiple levels
of project summarization, tracking and control points
- The generation of project price quotes (bids), categorized
based on the defined project hierarchy and supporting multiple
plans, options and product categories
- Visibility and maintenance of quoted prices and margins based
on the defined plans, options, and product categories
- Frontier® ERP configuration logic to enter, validate and
price complex, customer specified product lines as part of
a product
plan or option
- User-defined output documents and forms to submit for bid review
and approval
- Integrated release processing supporting final specification
of delivery information, required dates, plan, option and product
categories to be released for production
- Automatic generation of Frontier® ERP sales order(s) based
on the plan, option and product category specified with the
release, with option to generate unique sales order for each
product category
being processed
- Integrated contract master file to maintain the final project
pricing and commission structure(s), based on the project hierarchy,
plan, option, product category and effective date of the release
- Sales order pricing and invoicing based upon contract prices
defined for each plan, option and product category, bypassing
traditional
line item pricing
