INVEX Metal ERP for Specialty Steel Products with Specifications Controls

As steel or metal is (or add bar and tube to the shapes) received, the chemical and mechanical results are compared to the industry or customer specifications to ensure they are met. Companies can also use APIs to add additional checks in addition to the ones available in INVEX.  

For sales, during Quote and Order Entry, material such as plates, bars, sheets, or coil can only be verified and allocated to an order that meets a customer’s required specifications, which can include additional customer chemical or mechanical requirements. Here again, APIs can be used to perform additional verifications that may be needed. 

As the material is processed from step to step, quality information and measurements can be input online in company-definable input screens. Once finished goods are produced, INVEX will verify the finished goods meet the customer requirements from the Sales Order, before allowing any goods to move to shipping. 

For additional quality control, customer returns and claims, the INVEX non-conformance application tracks the reasons, faults, and provides a full workflow and approval process to meet internal controls. 

In addition, all material is also tracked from parent to child. For example, when plates or sheets are cut or processed into parts for the customer, full audit controls are provided of when each production process was performed including any required inspections.
