Sometimes it is useful to recalculate the price for a line in the sales quote, or to calculate the price for the sales order. Or to use the pre-calculation in a production order for determining the price of a sales order line. We explain how this works in this article.

With the MKG API, it is possible to establish integrations between your ERP package and third-party software. From the Smart Industry perspective, we are working on new applications and technologies, digitalizing factories and the supply chain. In this webinar, we will show you the current possibilities to further automate your processes via add-ons. As an example, 2 integrations are highlighted: Arkoni and McMain.

Arkoni introduces a unique connection that directly connects MKG's powerful ERP functionalities with Quotation Factory's innovative quotation generation software. This integration, powered by our advanced low-code platform, allows users to work more efficiently and accurately by seamlessly synchronizing data between both systems. With this connection, MKG users can automatically generate quotes based on real-time business data, leading to significant time savings and increased data integrity.

Snabbt completely transforms this by automating documentation, calculation and work preparation for both simple sheet and tube parts and complex assemblies. The result? A substantial time saving at the front end of the production process.

With the MKG API, it is possible to establish integrations between your ERP package and third-party software. From the Smart Industry perspective, we are working on new applications and technologies, digitizing factories and the supply chain. In this webinar, we will show you the current possibilities to further automate your processes through add-ons. As an example, two integrations are highlighted: SOLIDWORKS and the Logistics Scan System.

In some MKG modules you will find the navigation tree. The navigation tree is a tool that allows you to overview a process and all underlying components at a glance. This article shows where to find the navigation tree and how to use it.

The integration between Quotation Factory and MKG is a functional link intended to improve the efficiency of quote and order management. This integration makes it possible to export essential data, such as items, item prices and debtor information, directly from MKG to Quotation Factory. This step eliminates the need to enter data manually, reducing the chance of errors and saving time.

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.

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.
