This saves time, reduces manual effort and ensures smooth processes. **Your advantages:** - Direct transfer of design data to production - No media discontinuity: everyone works with the same, always up-to-date data - Less rework, more efficiency and higher product quality ## Growing parts lists **Flexible and adaptable** In many projects, it is not clear at the beginning what the end product will look like in detail. Nevertheless, production often has to start already. APplus supports you with flexible parts list management that adapts dynamically to the course of the project. This means you remain capable of acting, even if requirements change or details are only defined during the course of the process. **Your advantages:** - Parts lists can be expanded step by step – even during ongoing processes - Fast response to individual customer requests or changes - Efficient production despite incomplete data at the start of the project ![Growing parts lists ERP system APplus](https://www.applus-erp.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/erp-applus-funktion-wachsende-stuecklisten.jpg) In the fast lane ## ERP implementation in record time [![Fast Track Implementation (FTI) - Whitepaper: ERP implementation in record time](https://www.applus-erp.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/meta-img-whitepaper-FTI-EN-1024x535.jpg)](https://www.applus-erp.de/en/fast-track-implementation/) ERP projects often drag on – 10 to 13 months is not uncommon. No wonder many companies shy away from modernization. But there is a way out: **Fast Track Implementation (FTI)** – a faster alternative that focuses on the essentials and reduces complexity. But is RTI really suitable for every project? This method has clear requirements for **process structures**, **customization** and **data migration**. In our **Whitepaper** you can find out whether FTI can also be the turbo for your company.

APplus supports you with **reliable costing functions** – from the first quotation to project completion. The evaluations help you to **plan economically** and react quickly to changes. This ensures your long-term profitability. **Your advantages:** - Transparent pre- and post-calculation in one system - Early detection of deviations between planned and actual costs - More efficiency through well-founded budget decisions ## Product configuration **Individualization made easy** Today’s customers expect customized products – and as quickly as possible. With the APplus configurator, **you can implement individual requirements efficiently** without complicating your processes. You can select variants, options or special requests directly in the system via a **user-friendly interface**. Even complex configurations can be mapped reliably and consistently. **Your advantages:** - Time-saving and error-free configuration, even for complex variants - Automated transfer to downstream processes such as parts lists and production - Greater customer satisfaction thanks to individual and quickly available solutions [![Product configuration ERP APplus functional area](https://www.applus-erp.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/funktionsbereich-konfigurator-erp-applus.jpg)](https://www.applus-erp.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/funktionsbereich-konfigurator-erp-applus.jpg) ## Webinar APplus - THE ERP system for hybrid manufacturing Find out how APplus makes your hybrid manufacturing processes more transparent, faster and more successful.

An ERP system must be able to map different types of production in parallel, without media disruptions and with consistent processes. It should react flexibly if the order structure or production logic changes. APplus was developed precisely for this purpose and combines project business, series production and variant management in one system. ### Why does hybrid manufacturing need particularly flexible ERP structures? In hybrid manufacturing, requirements often change within a product or process. Rigid processes quickly reach their limits here. APplus offers modular functions that can be dynamically adapted to the respective production type. ### How does APplus support the combination of individual and series production? APplus allows different types of production to be mapped in a consistent process. Series and individual orders can be managed in parallel without having to maintain data twice. The system automatically recognizes which logic fits the respective order. ### How does APplus map mixed order structures? Customer orders, internal projects and production orders can be linked together in APplus. This provides a complete picture of material requirements, capacity utilization and deadlines. Combinations of warehouse and customer production can also be mapped in a structured way. ### How flexible is APplus when it comes to mapping changing production types? APplus adapts to different production scenarios – from series to one-off production. Processes remain stable, even if requirements change during operation. Adjustments can be implemented directly in the system without interrupting processes. ### How does APplus ensure transparency despite different production logics? All relevant data is centralized in the system, regardless of the type of production. Parts lists, order status and costs can be viewed and tracked at any time. This creates an overview and facilitates control in day-to-day business. ### How does costing work in hybrid processes with APplus? APplus can calculate both order-related and pre-calculated. The calculation logic adapts automatically, regardless of whether it is series production, make-to-order production or a mixed model. This means that costs remain transparent, even if the vertical range of manufacture changes. ### Can different BOM types be mapped in APplus? Yes, APplus supports a wide variety of BOM forms, from classic production BOMs to project-related or configurable variants. Changes can be versioned, compared and flexibly adopted. ### How does APplus deal with complex variant diversity? Products with many variants can be configured in APplus based on rules. The variant configurator checks the combinations and automatically generates the appropriate work plans and parts lists. This reduces errors and speeds up the preparation of quotations and production. ### How can make-to-stock production and make-to-order production be coordinated in one system? APplus recognizes whether a requirement is to be covered from the warehouse or directly from a customer order. The system automatically plans the appropriate route – depending on availability, delivery date and production strategy. This ensures a smooth flow between stock and individual production.
