Fastener distributors pride themselves on the fact that they can provide their customers with anything they need, and regularly send stock items out of the warehouse to be reworked to customers' requests.

Designed for distributors who process material after it is received from the vendor but before it is sent to the customer, Prophet 21 tracks multistage, secondary processes like plating and rework. For example, if you send five quarter kegs of quarter-inch hex cap screws out of the warehouse for zinc plating, Prophet 21 will track purchase orders, costing, and quantities for the lot of screws, as well as the period of time the inventory is off your premises, allowing for better inventory control. Prophet 21 will start tracking these processes automatically, upon receipt of material. However, you also have the option of starting secondary processes manually.

Prophet 21 also manages inventory sent for secondary processing through a Work in Progress account. The Work in Progress account helps you track inventory for financial and inventory evaluation purposes - so you always know how much is in stock, how much is available, and to whom it is allocated. Additionally, Prophet 21 accounts for unexpected costs and losses in your processes - such as shrinkage or damage - ensuring you always stay profitable.
