Accounting Solution Integration
MISys Manufacturing integrates seamlessly with these accounting packages;
- Quickbooks
- Sage 50
- Sage 300
- Sage Intacct
Our detailed overview of MISys Manufacturing features will cover three areas;
- Assembly Management
- Inventory Distribution Management
- Core Accounting Capabilities
Assembly Management
Advanced Bill of Materials (BOM) Processing
Users can create advanced BOM’s with a maximum of 300 components, that can be modified at any time. There is no need to create a new assembly just because some individual components have changed. Also, all BOM changes are automatically logged in an onscreen revision history.
Work Tickets
Users can track, in high detail, all of the labor and materials needed to complete assembly jobs. Due dates and projected completion times are instantaneously available.
Assembly Planning Report
Users can obtain insights, via enterprise resource planning, which displays bill of materials components for any selected assembly item and the specified number of units to assemble.
Deficient Components List for Assemblies Report
Users can instantaneously display deficient bill of material components for a selected assembly item and a specified number of assembly units.
Inventory Distribution Management Features
Track Item Detail
Users can rack extensive detail on each inventory item, such as price levels, tax types, weight, cost method, item type, etc.
Serialized Inventory Tracking
Users can assign serial numbers to specific individual inventory items when creating transactions and maintain detailed records for tracking, recall and warranty purposes. One can also track actual cost of each serialized item for more accurate profit measure.
Item Attribute Sets
Users can easily create and track inventory items in a product line by defining attributes such as size, color or any attributes you define. With this functionality, a user can automatically create and maintain Item Attribute sets, and reports and look ups will reflect this for easy cross-selling, tracking and maintaining.
Inventory Trend Analysis with the New Inventory Section
Users can track information on inventory quickly and easily, without running multiple reports. A user will be able to see the fastest/slowest selling items, as well as an inventory cost trend graph which displays revenue, cost and gross profit percent by period.
Auto-Creation of Purchase Orders based on Stocking Levels
Users can create purchase orders automatically based on minimum stock levels, re-order quantities and quantities on sales order. Manually created PO’s, caused by low inventory, are now in the past.
Buy and Sell in Multi-Quantity Units
Users will be able to purchase and sell inventory in units other than one. When it comes time to purchase components or ship finished goods, one can now set up shipping units that match the way you do business. This saves time and improves the accuracy of inventory counts.
Multiple Costing Methods
Users can gain the flexibility of tracking inventory with a choice of various costing methods including Average, LIFO (last in, first out) and FIFO (first in, first out) costing as well as specific unit costs for serialized items.
Item Sales by Customer and Purchase Order Number Report
Users can generate reports displaying item sales by purchase order number.
Stock Status by Location Report
Users can create detailed reports showing current quantities on hand, current quantities on sales orders and purchase orders, and a history of any item.

MiSys Manufacturing
Accounting Solution + MRP = Industrial Strength Manufacturing System
Features and Features by Modules
MISys Manufacturing’s features are designed specifically for small to medium-sized manufacturing firms. All MISys customers start with Basic Manufacturing. Regardless of the compatible accounting package utilized, MISys, by linking it’s MRP capabilities with that software package, will turn your integrated solution into an “industrial strength manufacturing system.”
Basic Manufacturing
The Basic Manufacturing software provides the following features:
- Extensive tracking of manufacturing inventory and work in process (WIP).
Other systems help you maintain an inventory. MISys is designed to help you maintain ZERO inventory. Just like other inventory systems, MISys can confirm what’s in stock and where it’s located. MISys customers usually enjoy a typical savings of 25-50% in inventory and associated carrying costs (like insurance, floor space, physical management, etc.) because MISys will order only what you need, when you need it.
- Multi-level bills of material with full explosion down to 16 levels deep.
- Net-change physical inventory with cycle counting.
- Batch-oriented or direct entry of all stock transfer transactions.
- Full back-flushing of all assembly transactions.
- Choice of standard, average, LIFO, or FIFO costing methods.
- Cost adjustment with roll-up through all BOM levels.
- Work orders to document and track production activity.
- Extensive reporting using industry-standard report generator (Crystal Reports).
- Record detailed stock status for all inventoried items.
- Track inventory in multiple locations.
- Maintain inventory levels with minimum, maximum, and reorder points.
- Instantly display transaction history, where-used (BOM implosion), and outstanding order status.
- Optionally allow or prevent negative inventory levels
- Associate a unique set of general ledger accounts with a specific item, job, or location
… and much much more.
‘Customer Facing’ Linked to ‘Back Office’
MISys Manufacturing integrates seamlessly with the most popular accounting software –
- QuickBooks Online or Desktop,
- Sage 50 US,
- Sage 50 CA,
- Sage 300 and
- Sage Intacct.
Under this arrangement, the integrated accounting software package is used to manage the “front of the house”, that is, everything that is customer-facing:
- customer records,
- sales orders,
- sales inventory,
- accounts receivable,
- accounts payable,
- general ledger,
- etc.
MISys Manufacturing software is used to manage the “back of the house,” that is, everything related to manufacturing, including:
- bills of material,
- raw material inventory,
- production scheduling,
- purchasing,
- etc.
MISys maintains a subledger of all of the manufacturing costs and syncs with the accounting subledger. The transactions are fully auditable and are done automatically – no double data entry is required.
Modular Components MISys Manufacturing software is a completely modular solution. Add functionality when you need it:
MiSys Modules 1:
Advanced Purchasing : Analyze material shortages and automatically create all of the purchase orders needed to replenish inventory.
Advanced Production : Predict the cost of every job and track performance as manufacturing orders for standard assemblies or special one-off items move through the shop.
Material Requirements Planning : Determine purchasing and production needs by analyzing current inventory, open orders and sales orders to spot impending shortages and respond by creating purchase and production orders.
MiSys Modules 2
Shop Floor Control : Accurately predict production costs based on estimated material, labor, and overhead, and then analyze the actual production costs.
Serial/Lot Tracking : Track serial or lot numbers throughout the entire purchasing and production process to comply with strict regulatory agency requirements, including FDA and FAA.
Bin Tracking : Maintain a unique inventory sub-location for every item or assembly as raw materials, sub-assemblies, or finished goods in specific containers.
