SCSN is an initiative involving various manufacturing industry partners, such as ERP vendors, OEMs, raw material suppliers, subcontractors, and research institutions, aiming to collectively share a standard for data exchange, for example, order confirmations, delivery notes, and invoices.

If you send out, lend out or second personnel on the Dutch market, a hirer may ask you to open a g-account. A g-account is a blocked bank account. The g-account is linked to one or more payroll tax subnumbers and/or sales tax subnumbers.

MKG follows a structure of header and lines in most modules. In a header, you will find general information, such as a sales order number or the debtor's name. This section contains information that applies to the entire order. A line contains the details of a specific item, such as the quantity, price, discount, or VAT. An order or transaction can have multiple lines, depending on the number of items included.

A memorial entry can refer to an accounting transaction that is not directly related to day-to-day operational activities, but rather is a 'memorandum' or recollection of a financial event. It can be used for non-regular or non-routine transactions.

A journal entry is a specific accounting registration within MKG that is used to record a financial transaction. It is a detailed accounting note that specifies the debit and credit entries to show the financial impact of a transaction on a company's general ledger accounts.

A financial transaction refers to any financial transaction or event that takes place within MKG. This can include any form of financial activity such as placing an order, receiving payment from a customer, paying suppliers, payroll and more.

Direct costs are costs that can be directly attributed to a product or service. These costs are directly related to the production of a specific product or the delivery of a specific service. Examples of direct costs include direct labor costs, for example hours, direct material costs, and direct production costs. Direct costs can be easily assigned to a specific product or service, unlike indirect costs.

Labor efficiency refers to the actual labor hours spent on producing goods or services in relation to the planned labor hours. It is often used as a measure of production process efficiency and can be calculated by dividing the actual labor hours spent by the planned labor hours. A high labor efficiency indicates efficient labor utilization, while a low labor efficiency may indicate inefficiency or delays in the production process.

Productivity is a measure indicating how much output can be produced with a certain input. Output usually refers to the total production or added value of a company, a sector, or the entire economy. The input can be divided into labor, capital, and intermediate consumption, which includes the use of energy, materials, and services. There are different types of productivity, such as labor productivity, capital productivity, and multifactor productivity. Labor productivity measures the amount of output per unit of labor.

The man-machine ratio (MMR) is the ratio between the number of hours a machine can run with or without an operator. For example, if half a man-hour is required for each machine hour, then the man-machine ratio is 0.5 (also known as man per machine). In ERP, you enter the MMR in the 'Operations' table for each operation.

Coverage is about covering your direct and indirect costs based on your cost price. The goal is to use a cost price that covers all incurred and future costs.

Hours worked by an employee beyond the contractually agreed or standard planned working hours are called overtime. In ERP software, overtime is often separately recorded for payroll calculation, cost allocation, and capacity analysis. It can be captured with specific hour codes and may generate additional allowances or higher cost prices in production and project reports.

Production locations allow production order lines and processed material to be traced during the production process. A production employee always knows where the semi-finished products and/or processed material have been placed after the previous processing.

BCO stands for Budgeting, Controlling, Optimizing. BCO helps you increase your insight into your company's financial situation and enables you to better determine your cost price. By budgeting your hours and costs now, you will fully cover your business expenses for the coming year with direct and indirect hours, and you will maintain the alignment between order result and business result.

A process table, such as a sales order and sales quote, can be labeled as 'Historical' in MKG. A header becomes historical when all lines under the header are historical. A line becomes historical when it is fully processed. This generally occurs when a final status is reached.

'In calculatie nemen' is een actie die je uitvoert in de verkoopofferteregel. Door deze actie uit te voeren maak je een calculatie aan, waarbij de gegevens worden meegenomen vanuit de offerteregel. De status van de offerteregel verandert door deze actie standaard van 'Aangemaakt' in 'In calculatie'. De actie voer je uit in de aangemaakte offerteregel zelf of via de Actielijst Verkoopoffertes.

'Aanbieden' is een actie die je uitvoert in de verkoopofferteregel. Door deze actie uit te voeren genereer je het standaard rapport 'Verkoopofferte (8400)'. De status van de offerteregel verandert door deze actie standaard van 'Aangemaakt' of 'Calculatie gereed' in 'Aangeboden'. De actie voer je uit in de offerteregel zelf of via de Actielijst Verkoopoffertes.

In several windows of MKG, it can be indicated whether a record is active or inactive. Examples of this are items, relations, and employees. By unchecking the 'Active' box, records will no longer be displayed in search lists. The accumulated history remains, but the length of selection lists can be shortened. Also, these records will no longer be displayed in search lists when the 'Current' filter is active.

To ensure that important fields are always filled in or not overlooked, MKG has the ability to provide windows within a number of modules with 'initial values': default values or no value are entered in fields by default. Once the initial values are saved, they are used when creating a new record in the respective table. The window's key field is labeled as "INITIAL". At that point, default values can be entered or removed in the available fields.

A semi-finished product is a product that has already been partially processed but still needs further processing before it can be sold as a finished product. In ERP software, it is often registered as an intermediate product in the production flow, with its own item number, inventory position, and cost, and can be used internally in subsequent operations or sold as a standalone product.
