Chapter 1
Introduction
The core functions of the system are as follows:
- Reports: Everything starts with a report in AGR. Create your own exception reports to identify items that need special attention, for example potential stock-outs, late deliveries, high forecasting errors, slow movers etc. By using reports correctly, the workflow can be very focused and effective.
- Statistical forecast: Automatic statistical forecasting enables your company to reduce the time spent selecting forecasting methods, as AGR selects the most appropriate forecasting model to suit the sale pattern for your products. When the sale pattern changes the forecast automatically changes with it.
- Sales plans: Users can create and adjust demand sales plans and promotional activity at any level of the company, business, division, department, category or item in AGR by using the planner module.
- Orders: Orders are created through order reports or automatic order schedules. An order schedule can be created e.g. on Tuesday, every other Wednesday, first day of the month or at specific dates. When order has been scheduled it is ready on selected date and the purchaser only has to review the order before transferring to the NAV (ERP system).
The AGR system is accessible through your web browser. AGR does all their testing in Chrome and therefore recommends users to use the Google Chrome browser.
