Real-Time Insights into Materials in Constant Motion

Whether your fulfillment strategy is to procure, draw from existing inventory, or a mixture of both, Current SCM can help. Leverage real-time inventory reporting by project, business, or location to ensure you are optimizing inventory and purchasing only what you require. And when procurement is required, leverage milestone-driven Expediting and powerful line-level Order status updates to monitor delivery schedules and proactively identify any material delays or shortages.

Ensure you receive the right materials at the right time in the right quantities at the right cost from the right sources.

Materials Management Key Features

Material Requirements Planning

Current SCM supports your material requirements planning in a variety of ways:

  • Cumulative Project BOM (Bill of Materials): While not a requirement, the BOM can create a vital point of control. By defining the complete purchase requirements for a project (which can be modified over the lifecycle of the project), the supply chain team can easily track material shortages or overages and proactively address deviations.
  • Specifications & Standard Drawings: Define the specs and standards templates for your organization, for a client, or for a specific project. Attach the specs and standards to a Purchase Order or Purchase Order item to track the requirements being placed upon a supplier.
  • Integrated Vendor Document Requirements: Create, communicate, and track Vendor Document Requirements (VDR) per client or per project, including the document type, format, authentication requirements, and deadlines.

Ensure the Right Material Ships to the Right Location with Allocation-Based Releases

  • Plan and execute the movement and consumption of your materials between locations, from suppliers to fabricators to storage facilities to construction sites and more.

    Current SCM enables Allocation-based Releases. Allocations are akin to plans, they tell the system that at a specific time and place materials will be moving to another location. Allocations are executed by issuing and actioning Releases. The system will group like Allocations (same release location and time, going to the same destination) into Potential Releases. Users can convert Potential Releases into an actual Release. Executed Allocations automatically adjust material inventory.

    By releasing materials based on Allocations, you are tying your inventory requirements to its end use location.

Intelligent Material Tracking

In addition to real-time line-level Order status updates, Current SCM provides a variety of tools to help you ensure your materials are where they need to be when they need to be there:

  • Utilizes inventory finding to validate upstream materials will be available on the ship date
  • Automatically notifies if the upstream material is not available
  • Automatically notifies if the upstream material is at risk
  • Automatically notifies downstream orders if material is late in arriving
  • Current SCM also supports tracking the origin, usage, and disposition of materials for compliance and quality assurance.

Line-Level Status Updates for Material Expediting

  • Track the overall status of your Purchase Orders with real-time Order status updates
  • Drill-down to track the status of specific line items within a Purchase Order with real-time line-level Order status updates
  • Compare status updates against your milestone dates to ensure your materials are on track to be where they need to be and when they need to be there

Efficient Material Release Planning

Current SCM’s user-friendly interface gives users a centralized spot to easily track vendor information, validate Order status, and cut Releases.

With Current SCM, you can:
  • Save time automating Releases based on predefined Allocations and systemic workflows
  • Combine multiple Releases into a single Release
  • Generate split-Releases within a single line item
  • Attach attachments to individual Releases

The system also generates Pre-Release notifications for shipping and receiving parties, as well as Receiving Reports for receiving party completion.

Cross-Project Inventory Visibility and Transfers

Current SCM allows the ability to see and share inventory across all projects under the same Team. This flexibility offers several benefits.

  • For specific projects with multiple Buyers, Buyers can ensure they are utilizing existing available inventory.
  • For Teams purchasing the same items across multiple projects, Buyers have the necessary insights to maximize buying power.
  • For organizations with a preference for centralized warehousing, goods can be purchased in bulk and allocated to specific Projects as required.
  • In instances of changing supply requirements or priorities, materials can be transferred between projects as required
