Nonconforming Material Reports (NCMR) for Sage 100

As a medical device manufacturer, you’re required to complete rigorous quality inspections on your supplies and finished products, but Sage 100 doesn’t have built-in support to help you with this. The Nonconforming Material Reports (NCMR) tool from Walpole can make this process seamless and stress-free.

Easily Track and Handle Nonconforming Materials

According to the mandates in 21 CFR 820 and ISO 13485:2016, you’re required to develop and follow a quality inspection system to ensure that medical devices you manufacture meet quality standards at every stage of production, from raw materials to finished products. Typically, this task is accomplished using a Nonconforming Material Report (NCMR), but without built-in support for NCMRs in Sage 100, your facilities are probably wasting a lot of time currently tracking this on paper or on non-integrated software. Both of these methods lead to error-prone duplicate data entry – and you can’t afford to make an error with your NCMRs.

Luckily, Walpole’s easy-to-use tool, Nonconforming Material Reports (NCMR) for Sage 100, helps your company track your goods throughout manufacture so you can identify, segregate, and determine dispositions for your nonconforming materials. Not only does the software track your goods by lots to ensure compliance, it also automatically assigns NCR numbers to lots with quality issues, making it easy for you to segregate items and forward information to the Material Review Board (MRB) for disposition decisions.

Take Care of Quality Control Issues Instantly

Tracking and controlling nonconforming materials is required by the government, but if you want to ensure long-term success for your manufacturing business, you’ll need to fix QC issues as fast as possible so you can maintain your profitability.

Since Walpole’s Nonconforming Material Reports tool is tightly integrated with your Sage 100 system, you’ll have the freedom to use Sage Alerts and Workflow [link to Sage Alerts and Workflow page], or any other notification tool you choose, to create emergency notifications when nonconforming materials reach higher-than-average levels. You can also create follow-up activities that help you manage resulting issues with ease.

Maintain Safety Stock Levels Effortlessly

Tight deadlines and large numbers of nonconforming materials can result in delayed shipping, backorders, and unhappy clients. In today’s competitive business landscape, you can’t afford to lose your critical customers.

With the Nonconforming Material Reports tool integrated with your Sage 100 system, you’ll have the ability to access real-time insight into stock levels and potential stock-outs through your Inventory Management module, so you can plan efficiently while your sales team and customer service reps provide up-to-date, accurate delivery estimates to clients.

Ensure Government Compliance with Detailed Records

Every manufacturer runs into issues with nonconforming materials and quality issues here and there, and these small irregularities don’t necessarily indicate that there’s anything wrong with your operations. That’s why the government doesn’t worry if you have nonconforming materials. Instead, they worry about your records – and then they audit you.

In the event of an audit, your Nonconforming Material Reports (NCMR) for Sage 100 tool will help you quickly produce detailed records about your nonconforming materials and how you dealt with them, so you can meet audit requirements with ease and get back to work fast.
