Hear it from Acctivate users

With Acctivate I can see the lot codes immediately. I have visibility of the lot codes when I enter the orders and I assign it all. I am more in tune with the lot codes and the dating of the product that is available. Acctivate has really made that an easier process in general.”

Specifically for a food company, you need to be able to have access to what happened to specific lots at all times and Acctivate gives us very good information quickly. Every can has a code so we know where every can came from if a customer just gives us the code.”

I can choose a lot number from a list, see the customized report attached to it, and then look at the lot number in multiple ways. We can see it from an assembly, finished product, or sales order point-of-view with the purchase order number attached, the product, and date codes all on one sheet.”

recipe management

Record Unlimited Ingredients, Multiple Ingredient Lots, and Recipe/Yield Variations to Accurately Account for Production

Multi-level bill of materials (BOM) allow for unlimited ingredients to be specified for the production of batch/bulk products along with multiple lots of the same ingredients.

With recipes varying from batch to batch, Acctivate handles ingredient adjustments that arise due to situational circumstances, i.e., seasonal requirements, availability and substitutions; as well as yield changes to account for said recipe variations, spillage, and waste.

With the critical nature of complying to regulatory requirements within the food & beverage industry, ingredients and end-products can contain source, expiration date, lot, inspection and quarantine info for on-demand managing, viewing and reporting.

Lot tracking and costing for the food & beverage industry

cost management

Capture True Cost of Goods Sold at the Lot Number Level

Acctivate offers an actual cost method to tie multiple costs to a group of products by lot number by figuring the weighted average of all purchases for the specific lot.

Any additional costs, beyond the purchase price of a product such as duties, taxes, VAT, government fees, customs, freight, insurance and other charges are figured into the per unit cost with easy allocation using Acctivate Landed Cost feature.

barcoding

Optimize Warehouse Operations with the Ability to Generate and Scan Lot Number Encoded Barcodes

When product arrives at your warehouse, items are picked off warehouse shelves, inventory counts for a multitude of products are performed, product needs to be transferred from one warehouse to another—Acctivate Mobile Warehouse Management functioning on a mobile barcode device injects precision & speed into these operations.

With a single scan of the lot numbered barcode that can contain expiration date, catch weights and more, the processes are initiated and completed on the mobile device, which can be critical for compliance with regulatory requirements.
