Objective:

The main objective of the gap study is to understand the current mills practices and
procedures vis a vis Kalsofte ERP system. Every individual process followed by mills is
detailed and mapped to the procedures in the system during the gap study.

Result:

The gaps between the mills practices and existing system are captured and documented.
The captured details, module wise and process wise, are tabulated. Gaps and activities to
be carried out by mills / Kalpatharu during implementation have been highlighted.

Please go through the details for correctness and inform us of any variance or mis-
interpretation to enable us modify it accordingly.

1.2 STORES INVENTORY


Mill System Kalsote ERP System
Every item is identified by its code / name Following additional features are available in the
( Data migration / export from the existing Item Master:
software to be done ) • Visual Image of the item
## • Goods Receipt Tolerance for every item – eg.
Packing materials / paper cones / nuts and
bolts we can fix some tolerance. If 2% is the
tolerance and the ordered qty is 100 Nos. it will
accept up to 102 without the requirement of
approval.
• Self – Indent. Eg. For less value items, stores
indent process need not be followed. The store
keeper himself can give the items without
approved indents.
• Auto alert message for indenting when the
stock reaches Re-Order Level.
• Category Classification – Capital Items, Repairs
& Maintenance, Spares, Consumables, Civil
etc. with linking to Budgets and Accounts.

GRN Preparation Goods Receipt Note (GRN) at Stores will be


prepared against the Gate Inward entry only.
When party is selected, system will list all pending
POs against this party. Provision available to
prepare single GRN against multiple POs.
Provision also available to prepare GRN without
PO also. However provision available to restrict
this facility.

GRN Inspection intimation is manual Automatic alert message is given to the indenter for
inspection, once the material is received and GRN
is prepared.

Purchase Rejections Rejected Materials in Inspection would be sent


back to supplier through Returnable Gate Pass
(RGP) or Non-Returnable Gate Pass (NRGP)
prepared automatically by the software along with
Gate pass slip. The exact time of outward will be
entered against the gate pass at the Gate. This
improves operational efficiency.

System has the provision to segregate reason wise


rejections. For eg. 25 cones are rejected. Out of
25, 10 may be dimension not ok, 5 color not ok, 10
cone weight not ok as per sample. Segregation of
rejections will be helpful for effective Vendor
Analysis.
