Sage X3

Sage's ERP designed for manufacturing

Platinum

Sage Partner

From sales order to shipped product

Product engineering

Item definition with multi-level bills of materials (BOM). Product variant configuration. Routings with work centres, set-up times and run times per operation. Theoretical cost simulation based on the BOM and routing. Version and engineering change management (ECN/ECO).

Planning (MRP)

Material requirements planning (MRP): automatic calculation of what to buy, what to make and when, based on confirmed orders, demand forecasts, available stock and supplier lead times. Capacity planning by work centre. Automatic purchase and production order proposals.

Manufacturing

Production order management with real-time tracking: status, progress, consumption, times. Discrete manufacturing (assembly, machining) and process manufacturing (blends, reactions, formulas). Subcontracting of operations. Production recording from shop-floor terminals. Waste and reject management. Batch and serial number traceability.

Quality control

Quality controls built into the manufacturing flow: at raw material receipt, in process and on the finished product. Configurable sampling plans. Non-conformance records. Batch management with statuses (quarantine, released, blocked, rejected). Quality documentation linked to the production order and batch.

Production costs

Actual vs. theoretical cost calculation per production order: materials consumed, labour charged, machine time, overheads. Variance analysis. Standard cost, weighted average cost and actual cost. Profitability reports by product, family and production line. Direct integration with cost accounting.

Warehouse and shipping

Multi-warehouse management with locations. Stock control by batch, serial number and expiry date. Location-based picking. Periodic and perpetual inventories. Order preparation, delivery note generation and transport documentation. Bulk invoicing. Integration with B2B and ecommerce platforms.

Sage X3 Agro: the solution for the agri-food industry

If your company belongs to the agri-food sector, discover Sage X3 Agro, the specialized version of Sage X3 with specific functionalities for the management of crops, livestock, cooperatives, oil mills and wineries.

What manufacturing companies ask us

Yes. Sage X3 handles both manufacturing models. Discrete manufacturing: bills of materials, routings with operations and work centres, assembly orders. Process manufacturing: formulas with variable coefficients, blends, by-products and co-products. Many companies combine both models (for example, a food company that blends and then packs), and Sage X3 supports this natively.

Sage X3’s MRP automatically calculates material and capacity requirements based on: confirmed orders, demand forecasts, available stock, supplier lead times and manufacturing times. It generates purchase and production order proposals that the planner can confirm, modify or regroup. It supports multiple warehouses, multiple production sites and multi-level manufacturing.

Yes. Sage X3 calculates the actual cost of each production order by adding up: materials consumed (at weighted average, standard or last price), labour charged (from time bookings on terminals), machine time and overheads. The system compares actual cost with theoretical cost (calculated from the BOM and routing) and generates variance reports by order, product and work centre.

Yes. Sage X3 manages subcontracted operations within the routing: shipment of materials to the subcontractor, receipt of the processed product, incoming quality control and posting of the subcontracting cost. Everything is traced within the production order.

Sage 200 covers basic manufacturing needs for small companies. Sage X3 is designed for mid-sized and large companies with complex manufacturing operations: multi-level BOM, advanced MRP, capacity planning, process manufacturing, multi-site, multi-country, subcontracting of operations. If your factory has more than 50 employees, manages multiple work centres or needs batch traceability, Sage X3 is the right choice.

Aritmos has been implementing ERP in industrial environments for more than 40 years. Most of its implementations are in companies that manufacture: agri-food, ceramics, textiles, industrial. This gives it practical knowledge of a factory’s real problems (planning around the unexpected, cost control with tight margins, regulatory traceability) that a generalist partner lacks. In addition, for specific sectors such as agri-food or ceramics, Aritmos has its own verticals that add native functionality.

It depends on the size of the company, the number of users, the modules required (manufacturing, quality, warehouse, finance, CRM), the complexity of the BOM and the number of work centres. Aritmos offers a free preliminary analysis to scope the project. Get in touch for a demo with real data from your type of manufacturing.
