Benefits of Sage x3 For Pharmaceuticals

Bill of Material

The Bill of Materials, or BOM, is the list of raw materials needed to produce the finished product. Within Sage X3 these materials can be added as percentages as well as fixed units. This means that whatever final quantity of finished product is needed, 3, 27 or 1,345, the Bill of Materials will always be able to show exactly how much of each material is needed. This is a great scalable feature for growing businesses. No matter how much the volume of products is increased, the system will still be able to provide the quantity of raw materials needed.

Multi-Company, Multi-Site

Multiple sites running on different systems cause data errors and order confusion and make reporting on business performance difficult.

Sage X3 can help by providing:

A common frame of reference and management rules
Flexible reporting, cross-functional views, scalable operations
Monitor performance with role-based KPIs and dashboards

Multi-Currency

Even within a single company, you can work with multiple transaction currencies and also translate those into reporting currencies based on daily, monthly or average exchange rates. So if you’re in the UK and need to report monthly figures to New York or Paris, then Sage X3 can handle the currency conversions automatically for you.

Accuracy Features

There are a number of accuracy features in Sage X3 that make a real difference to an end product. Quantities on the Bill of Materials can be added with up to 14 decimal places, providing precise manufacturing control. Sage X3 also has a percentage scrap feature, so if a machine will always waste 2% of a material during the process of manufacturing, you can build this into the BOM. The system then knows to add an extra 2% of the material into the process to ensure the end product isn’t compromised, which is automatically reflected in your costs. Through this minute detail, Sage X3 gives you complete visibility of costs and stock levels.

Time to Market

Sage X3 offers a range of capabilities which accelerate products getting to market. From New Product Introduction (NPI) functionality to automating key manufacturing processes you save time in the production process; helping you ensure that your business is always delivering your products to market on time, at the right margin.

Quality Control

Sage X3 has a number of quality control functions that will put your (and your customer’s) mind at ease. QC processes are integrated across your entire organisation with inspections automatically enforced at user defined stages of goods-in and manufacture. If the system detects non-conformance to required characteristics, operational specifications, or expected results you are alerted immediately and know about any faults or mistakes long before your customer has ever set eyes on the finished product. This is backed up with full traceability and recall functionality.

Purchasing and Procurement

Sage X3’s purchasing and procurement features offer a comprehensive and efficient solution for managing procurement processes. With quick access to vital information such as products, price lists, discounts, and carriers, users can make informed decisions swiftly. The platform’s versatile accessibility allows inventory counts and details to be viewed from a desktop, tablet, or mobile device, ensuring that essential data is always at hand. Sage X3 also streamlines the creation and management of purchase requests, orders, and contracts, while its budget monitoring and multi-stage signature control features enhance oversight and approval processes. Additionally, the system supports outsourcing, making it a robust tool for optimizing procurement activities and maintaining control over expenditures.

Compliance

Sage X3 offers a comprehensive set of tools and solutions to address regulatory and compliance demands. These tools encompass a range of functions, including but not limited to, batch and lot tracking, traceability, and robust quality control measures.

With Sage X3, you gain the capability to automatically manage and track batches and lots throughout their entire lifecycle, ensuring full traceability from production to distribution. This feature enables you to swiftly identify and address any issues or discrepancies that may arise, enhancing transparency and accountability across your supply chain.

Moreover, Sage X3 empowers you to maintain compliance with industry standards and regulations by providing advanced quality control tools. These tools enable you to establish and enforce rigorous quality assurance protocols, ensuring that your products consistently meet the highest standards of safety and quality.

Automated Workflows and Alerts

Sage X3’s automated workflow and notification management allows businesses to respond confidently and rapidly to changing conditions. These workflows are pre-configured based on best practices, ensuring efficient operations from the start. Additionally, they offer flexible rules that can be customized for specific processes or tailored by user, role, or group, providing a personalized and adaptable solution for managing business activities.

Event-Based Triggers

Sage X3’s event-based triggers offer versatile functionality, allowing actions to be initiated based on various conditions such as data changes, data entry, processes, system events (like data export, print, or email), or user actions. This flexibility ensures that the system can respond dynamically to a wide range of scenarios, enhancing operational efficiency and responsiveness.

Personal Dashboards

Sage X3’s personal dashboards give users a real-time, company-wide view of operations, enabling informed decision-making. With role-based KPIs and customizable dashboards, users can monitor performance metrics tailored to their specific needs. The platform allows for the inclusion of pertinent information on individual dashboards, providing a personalized user experience.

Sage X3 Pharmaceuticals Pack Developed By Mysoft

Pre-built workflows and processes for the Pharmaceutical industry.

Due to Mysoft’s extensive experience in the Pharmaceutical industry, through our current customers, we have created a Sage X3 Pharmaceutical Pack tailored to the industry.

The pack includes:

Detailed stock release (all the way down to stock sub status)
Enhanced user control
Qualified Person (QP) password control for stock release
Additional fields tailored to the pharmaceutical industry including: pack size & potency

This has been developed through our work with current and historic pharma customers where we found common industry standards and best practises that can be used across the board. This set of components aids companies in meeting regulatory compliance and has been MHRA audited.

Why Choose Sage X3 In Pharmaceuticals Company?

Implementing an ERP solution is one of the best ways to ensure compliance and meet industry standards in the Pharmaceutical industry.

Through a robust solution, like Sage X3, you gain full control over every detail of your product or service. So when it comes to auditing you are equipped with the tools and processes to demonstrate your regulatory compliance with ease.

By using Sage X3 to manage the entire Pharmaceutical process you set to gain:

Confidence of whose done what, when
Every action is tracked to a user and time stamped
User access control can be set for specific data fields
Workflows can be set in order to notify a user of any event or change in the system

Complete ingredient and product traceability
Trace individual ingredients or allergens through the entire manufacturing process
Use lot references to trace batches of components
Ability to recall a product based on individual ingredients, allergen, component or batch

Detailed expiry date management
Allows the input of re-test dates for expiry stock control purposes
Re-allocation of stock to customers based on their set lead times
Stock status control

Rules exist within the system to specify what status drugs are received in as: typically set as Quality Controlled Managed, with the option available of Technical sheets (a series of on screen checks and questions before stock is received or released to Accepted (A*)).

A product can have a status of either Rejected (R*) (for example a customer return), Quarantine (Q*), Released or Accepted (A*). Only when stock is released to status Accepted (A*), will the system allow it to be allocated to a Customer Order or a Manufacturing Work Order.

This is standard functionality in the system, however, when paired with the Mysoft Pharmaceutical Pack, you can allow full regulation of stock release down to a specific individual and specific status or sub-status combination.

Quality Control in Sage X3

Whether it’s the FDA, Department of Health or GMP, meeting government and industry regulations is more important than ever for Pharmaceutical companies.

Regulations are there to ensure the safe and controlled running of the industry, but can often end up becoming a daunting task for mid-sized enterprises.

Compliance is business-critical and companies operating in the Pharmaceutical industry must ensure:

Full audit trails with user, time and date references
Signatures to authorise changes, with reason codes and verification
Robust user security to safeguard against unauthorized use

Many of the government bodies mentioned above acknowledge that technically advanced software solutions can help companies to manage compliance. Sage X3’s level of detail and extensive user controls are especially suited to this level of industrial scrutiny.

Through Sage X3 pharmaceutical companies will be equipped with the tools to demonstrate compliance, including:

Detailed and historical audit trails. This is standard functionality in Sage X3 and includes user name, date, time, previous data, new data and the reason for the change.
Electronic signature framework. This includes tables, programs, actions and objects to store, configure and collect unique e-signatures, which are permanently linked to the object and cannot be modified or copied.
Document signatures. Documents requiring handwritten signatures, such as Certificates of Analysis or Technical Sheets, are generated with an image linked to the specific document. The image plate is controlled and linked to the user profile.
Validation workflows. These can be customised depending on the company but can be set up to, for example, not allow release of a drug into stock until the QP has had final, password controlled, sign off.
Security features. Several security standards safeguard against unauthorized use, including automatic logoff after a period of inactivity, auto logout after too many failed logon attempts and logging of all user activity. Functional access control can also be tailored and/ or limited to specific fields that may contain sensitive information.

Adhering to regulations not only provides companies with the relevant licenses to continue to trade but also sees reductions in system vulnerability, lower compliance-driven costs and shorter validation times. Through a comprehensive solution designed for the Pharmaceutical industry, such as Sage X3, companies can take the pain out of compliance as well as ensuring their overall operational efficiencies.

Mysoft's Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) Interface Pack for Sage X3

On 9th February 2019 New Regulations Came Into Force Covering The Distribution Of All Prescription Only Medicines. Post-Brexit this is no longer required within the UK but may still pertain to organisations operating within the EU.

Manufacturers and parallel distributors are required to change their packaging to include an anti-tamper proof device, additional human-readable information and include a 2-D barcode. In addition, they are required to upload the data into a Europe-wide database for verification and de-commissioning of medicine packs by end users.

Access to the European FMD database is controlled via the National Medicine Verification System (NMVS). Mysoft is a registered software supplier and has created an interface to allow verification and de-commissioning of medicine packs.
