Noah Wallace, CIO of Silver Spring Foods, discusses the benefits of using Deacom ERP software to manage the various documents that the manufacturer requires in order to do business with its customers.
Document Generation & Regulatory Compliance in One System
With Deacom’s document management tools, you can generate all the necessary shipping labels, bills of lading, certificates of analysis, safety data sheets and other documents necessary to meet regulatory compliance.
Automate document generation from the ERP system, including Safety Data Sheets, product labels, packing lists, and barcode labels.
Batch Tickets
Batch tickets are used by production teams and outline how a job will be produced, including step-by-step instructions for production-related tasks and activities, materials required, timing, and by-products, just to name a few. Batch tickets can be configured to show the required formulation, quality, production, and inventory information.
Certificate of Analysis (CoA)
Automate the process of generating CoA documents used to attest or affirm that the finished product or raw material meets the QC requirements established and maintained within the ERP system. With the ability to include test results of raw materials used in the manufacturing process or enforce signature requirements of the QC team member and print the signature directly on the Certificate of Analysis document, you can streamline the process and ensure compliance efforts are met for customer requirements.
Nutrition Fact Panels
The process of designing and managing nutrition labels within the ERP software involves configuring user fields, user calculations, system constants, part form user tags, and the part form itself. The approach for storing nutritional information can be static or dynamic, depending on the company's needs. The static approach involves entering nutritional values directly into user fields on the finished goods, while the dynamic approach uses user fields or regulatory BOMs (Bill of Materials) to store nutritional information at different levels. BOM calculations are used to calculate nutritional values for finished goods based on the information stored in user fields or regulatory BOMs. These calculations include roll-up calculations to determine the total amounts of each nutrient in a BOM, calculations for finished goods per serving, and calculations for percent daily values based on FDA recommendations.
Regulatory Reporting
To comply with food, beverage, and drug regulations, Deacom ERP is configurable in a way that supports FDA, USDA, HC, and other agency regulatory requirements via the use of controls, such as those for equipment, maintenance, quality, receiving, storage, traceability, and recall. This includes various evaluation and improvement techniques and the keeping of electronic records and signatures that may be implemented and utilized to assist companies with regulatory compliance. To comply with financial regulations, the ERP system can be configured to meet IFRS, GAAP, and SOX audit requirements, helping organizations to comply with these accounting standards, from inventory value to foreign exchange gain/loss consolidation to revenue recognition and beyond.
SDS, GHS & Shipping Documents
For manufacturers of hazardous materials, Deacom ERP provides for the creation, management, and printing of regulatory standard Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs). In this brief demonstration of the software, we show how these documents, including Certificates of Analysis, Bill of Materials, and Shipping labels, can all be generated from within the system to streamline business processes.
