In–depth Reporting

What sets TurningPoint Accounting Software apart from competing inventory management and manufacturing software products?

TurningPoint′s reports. After all, information is only useful if you can use it to your advantage. You can enter information all day long but if you can′t do anything with it other than make your accountant happy, then your system needs room for improvement. TurningPoint reports help manufacturers manage inventory and their business much more easily. Below is just a sampling of the reports that are extremely useful for real–life scenarios. These reports can help you streamline workflow, increase profits and improve cash flow.

Report What it is How it helps you
Stock Status Report Show the current status (quantity and cost) of selected items at each location. Be able to find out what you have, where it is, and its cost, so you can provide better customer service and easily make necessary adjustments. You can even see what's committed to customers and already been ordered. An excellent way to identify items that need to be ordered.
Valuation Report Show the actual cost of your on–hand inventory. Find out instantly the value of your inventory—even compare to prior years, so you can make adjustments that impact your profitability!
Turnover Report View turnover rates for your inventory items. The higher the turnover rate, the better your return on investment. See how efficiently you are using your inventory dollars and know which items provide your best investment. This report can be a great tool to identify items that you are purchasing too seldom, too often, too many, etc. This report can have a drastic impact on your cash flow.
Create Suggested Purchase Orders Report Based on current inventory levels and sales history (or current committed sales), determine which items need to be ordered. It's like having your own assistant! Set up your own parameters, and this report will let you know what you need to order, how much, and when.
Item/Customer Sales Analysis Reports For selected inventory items or customers, list total sales and profit margin. For items, find out which items are generating the most sales, the highest profit margin, greatest margin of sales, etc., so you know where to focus your sales and marketing efforts. Also become aware of which customers to pay attention to, whether it's to increase sales to that customer, or increase the pricing they are receiving.
Low Stock/Overstock Reports. Show when there are less or more than standard amounts. Upon running this report, you can make an informed judgment on which items to order or which to liquidate.
Serial & Lot Number Tracking

Manage serialized and lotted items by showing receipt date and the associated vendor, as well as the customer who purchased the items.

Bill of Materials

Maximize efficiency with production plans that list the sequence of events that need to be followed. Create a production plan that combines assembly operations and track labor costs for each assembly so you know your true costs. Stay in control of inventory and purchasing with reports that show the details of each production plan including subassemblies, on–hand quantities, and required quantities for each component.

Multiple Pricing Levels

Set pricing for multiple units of measure and establish up to 20 pricing levels to accommodate a variety of buyer relationships and profitability goals.

Multiple Locations

More accurately track your costs by establishing costing methods and pricing by location.

Purchase Orders

Never sit idle waiting for an out–of–stock inventory item to arrive. Keep production moving by allowing TurningPoint to create a suggested order based on minimum inventory quantities.

Order Entry

Quickly check previous orders and current orders, as well as answer customer questions on order status with an import of tracking numbers from UPS Online® WorldShip®. When you select an inventory item for an order, you can see the on hand, on order, committed, in use, and available quantities right there on the screen. Also generate purchase orders directly from the order entry screen to save time.

Inventory

TurningPoint's Inventory module is feature–rich, a robust option for the small to mid–range budget.

This module allows you to track inventory by location and/or warehouse and identify top products so you can increase your efficiencies and increase profitability.

Detailed item records include 24–character IDs, long descriptions, aliases, product lines, serial/lot numbers and multiple user–defined fields. Routinely importing price lists from your suppliers or quickly mass updating prices upward or downward will save you time.

Multiple pricing methods are convenient with up to 20 price levels per item (or product line).

TurningPoint Inventory also offers the option to build assemblies, take physical inventory and easily enter mass updates.

Purchase Orders

The TurningPoint Purchase Orders module allows you to suggest, produce, process, and receive purchase orders for items and/or services. Convenience and efficiency are keys to the management of purchase orders. For that reason, TurningPoint offers the ability to generate purchase orders for easy drop shipment on specific sales orders. Save time and gain efficiency by automatically generating a check to accompany the Purchase Order, and show the prepayment amount in Accounts Payable when the goods/services are delivered.

Based on past demand and by calculating the differences between the current and minimum quantities, TurningPoint Purchase Orders alerts you when it is time to place an order, offers suggestions on how much to order, and even suggests a vendor. You're free to make changes as needed, and produce the order. Or, create a new order from scratch!
