"First Bit" moved Allwin to "1C:ERP"

2024: Moving from SAP to "1C:ERP"

The project office team of Paveletskaya company "First Bit" in six months carried out the transition of Allwin (early KERRY) from SAP to 1C:ERP with the preservation of all functionality, as well as the deployment of new and unique reports and capabilities. This "First Bit" reported on August 19, 2024.

For a long time, the SAP system has been used as a system for managing ALLWIN resources. With the limitation of the SAP system in the Russian Federation, the functionality of the software product was scarce. Many processes were transferred to Excel, which greatly affected the speed of receiving reports, reduced the ability to control production and increased the risk of errors due to the human factor.

The parent company KERRY GROUP decided to transfer the Russian subsidiary to its own management and server system by August 1, 2023, as well as disable access to SAP and transfer work with data to Russian software.

Each unit of work in the old system was convenient for employees and adapted to production tasks. The system requirements were very high. It was necessary to create a system that not only supported ALLWIN processes, but also did not complicate the work of employees.

In the line of industry solutions of 1C, the choice was made in favor of the Enterprise Management 1C:ERP. However, the typical functionality needed to be greatly improved. Many of the blocks that were required for ALLWIN to work were missing or did not provide the proper functionality and scale of the company.

The ALLWIN IT service was owned by the parent company, so access to it was limited. The 1C:ERP was adapted to the needs of users using the team of the Paveletskaya IT integrator "First Bit" project office.

For six months, the team implemented the work of all key automation units: planning, sales, procurement, production, quality control, warehouse accounting, ingredient calculation, NSI nomenclature management, document flow and treasury.

It was not possible to integrate additional configurations into the system due to restrictions in the project timing, so the Paveletskaya project office team built processes using 1C:ERP in conjunction with 1C: Document flow, BIT.FINANS and adaptation of existing point services. This service was the BIT solution. Quality is Paveletskaya's own office development to automate the quality control department.

On the basis of the BIT service, the WS Quality Check of Series for Managers and Quality Technologists was developed. It shows the receipts of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products and reflects whether certification has been carried out on them. AWS reflects the date of arrival, nomenclature and sample by sampling. Allows you to track a batch by certain orders, which determines the quality and further actions by parties.

The First Bit team from scratch developed the Optiva block - a calculation of the nutritional values ​ ​ of finished products for 216 indicators, about 400 E-additives, taking into account the indicators that are necessary for production. The architecture of the solution was formed exclusively according to the description of the customer, and the first model of the module was designed in the MIRO service.

Also in the 1C:ERP, from scratch, the functionality of automated warehouse accounting was implemented without integration with the selected warehouse accounting configurations. A production schedule (previously maintained in Excel) and a transition matrix (new production plan type) were implemented.

On this project, the entire server infrastructure was designed and deployed from scratch, providing the highest fault tolerance indicators. The warehouse and manufacturing used Zebra label printing printers and Zebra data collection terminals, as well as Point Mobile. A typical mobile workplace of the storekeeper was installed at the data collection terminals, adapted to the customer's requirements.

As a result of the project, ALLWIN received a transparent production planning process, implemented with the same capabilities that were in the SAP system, and with the simplification of the process of using the planning report.
