Which is better UPP 1.3 or UCC 2.0. The main differences between 1C:UPP and 1C:Accounting

It covers almost all aspects of accounting and management, creating a unified information space for the company. But the product is no longer optimal due to the peculiarities of running a modern business, and therefore needs a successor.

It was the system (Enterprice Resource Planning) - a new round of development of corporate solutions from 1C. This is a full-fledged replacement for 1C:UPP, which will disappear from the developer’s virtual shelves on April 30, 2018.

Simpler and better
The 1C:ERP system was originally designed to work in “thin client” mode, and therefore is perfectly scalable and more productive than its predecessor thanks to the new three-tier architecture. There is support for working in the browser without installing clients, which significantly saves money on maintaining remote servers.

Ease of use for the end user is an important consideration in the design. The developers were guided by two key principles: “no unfinished or controversial functionality” and “no one needs elements that are too complex, inconvenient and rarely used.”

Complete customer focus

The system's creators have completely moved away from the method of making targeted fixes, focusing on the ultimate business goals of most customers. As a result, a completely new development algorithm was created, where the final goal is realized, and individual elements are not corrected. In fact, the well-known principle of Henry Ford was taken as a basis, which proved: to move faster, you need not a faster horse, but a technical revolution. Everything is the same here, but less pretentious.

The reporting system is thought out to the smallest detail and tailored to a specific use case - just take it and create it. This system simply does not have objectively useless functions and details that greatly burdened the 1C:UPP start interface, where it was necessary to get rid of unnecessary windows, plug-ins and add-ons. Everything is simple and minimalistic. Need to install an extension or add a few details to the overall scheme? A couple of minutes of free time solves the problem.

In order for you to get the right impression of the system, you need to know that it surpasses SPP in at least a dozen key indicators, even though it was created from scratch and was not a planned upgrade of the previous product.

Among the main advantages it is worth highlighting:

procurement and sales management - flexible pricing, as well as working with discounts, payment schedules and mutual settlements. The interface is as clear as possible for the seller and free of “accounting” habits;
inventory management - the functionality has been completely redesigned and brought to perfection;
production planning - management has been implemented taking into account bottlenecks, which allows you to effectively solve assigned tasks, starting from your own shortcomings;
cost calculation - without pitfalls and automatically closes at the end of the month;
accounting for production costs has become simpler, although it has slightly lost its flexibility. But it gained in speed and accuracy of data processing;
Budgeting is an ideal tool that every business can adapt to its own needs.

Now, as for the new functions that were simply not included in the UPP:

warehouse management - targeted content of goods based on WMS support;
the warehouse order system is smart, simple and obedient;
planning the delivery of goods “supplier - client” with transport management;
report panels are beyond praise;
automatic email distribution, including notifications, confirmation of payment status and reports.

Needless to say, ERP in its basic version is head and shoulders ahead of SCP, despite its many years of improvements since its release.

Ambitious prospects

The functionality develops at the speed of a locomotive that has picked up speed and stubbornly follows the goal. Developers offer significant updates and additions quarterly, and minor errors, shortcomings and bugs are eliminated every week, which is faster than even the legendary pace of improvement of Microsoft products.

Does it make sense to switch to ERP, or should I wait for a more advanced product? Team 1C does not plan to update the system for several years for one simple reason: there is nothing to improve, since information technology has reached its logical ceiling. It is much more profitable to support a new product by regularly fixing bugs and introducing new useful features.

Large companies additionally receive a significant bonus in the form of corporate support and software support.

The answer is clear - YES. And the company will be happy to help you with this. The main feature of the product, which will delight any system administrator who has at least once suffered from installing, configuring and calibrating a system, is the cloud client and client-server architecture.

The owner has the opportunity to access the account from anywhere. To log in, you can use a PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet on any OS (Windows, iOS, Android). All data is stored on a secure central server, which is serviced 24/7 and guarantees the safety of personal information.

Today everything is determined by the availability of data, and therefore the lion’s share of large and medium-sized enterprises need it like air.

The question is also relevant because now an increasing number of manufacturing enterprises are switching from foreign SAP to domestic analogues due to the high cost of servicing the imported program and inconsistencies in working with Russian legislation. In this article, we will briefly consider what are the main differences between ERP and ERP, what are their strengths and what are the capabilities of their functionality.

What is the difference between 1C:UPP and 1C:ERP?

It’s worth noting right away that both programs are similar in their mission – business automation in a single system, however, they have a number of differences that distinguish one from the other. Here the choice depends on the goals of automation, the features of management accounting and the organizational structures of companies (whether they are simple enterprises without divisions, holding structures or groups of companies).

The main differences between both programs are implemented functionality. If the possible maximum is initially introduced into the SPP, then the ERP functionality can be configured during the direct implementation of the program at the enterprise. Those. setting up 1C:UPP is the implementation of a program immediately with the maximum possible functionality, and the implementation of 1C:ERP is a whole process that represents customizing the program to the specific features of your business and equipping it with those functions that may be needed to reflect the business processes taking place be at your enterprise. Let us summarize once again that even the 1.3 edition does not have the capabilities that the erp modules have. Yes, the UPP is equipped with a universal set of functions that can be used immediately without unnecessary settings, but also with many unnecessary functions that may not be needed at all in the process of managing an enterprise.

In addition, the 1C:ERP program implements new subsystems, similar functionality of which in 1C:UPP is scattered across different sections. For example, the Marketing and Planning subsystem in ERP is implemented with maximum consideration of all the needs that may arise during the work of the department. There is no such section in the UPP, and similar functions are scattered across several sections. Some functions are found in Purchasing, some in Sales, Planning or Production, which is extremely inconvenient and ineffective.

Also in ERP Improved Sales section, which includes the functionality implemented in the UPP and combines the functions of other similar sections of the UPP. In addition to the SCP functionality, ERP has introduced additional features that significantly facilitate the work of sales department specialists. For example, in ERP you can manage sales representatives, work with complaints, etc.

A significant distinctive feature of 1C:ERP is also the fact dedicated Warehouse section. In 1C:UPP, warehouse functions are scattered across different sections, which, firstly, is inconvenient, and secondly, often leads to temporary losses when reflecting warehouse tasks.

Plus the software the 1C:ERP solution is equipped with a Budgeting section thought out to the smallest detail. Flexible and useful capabilities have been introduced here that allow you to create and manage actual data for each individual subsystem. Such accounting 1C:UPP is a longer, more labor-intensive and confusing process. Users who know all the nuances of their enterprise's business processes and reflect them in the program will appreciate the functionality of the section - it is simple, convenient and comprehensive.

In general, I would like to note that both programs undoubtedly each have their own advantages. It all depends on the goals of automation and the structure of the business to be automated. If this is a simple production that does not require special management functions, then most likely it can be automated using the SCP program. If the business has a complex holding structure, then ERP work is needed, which takes into account the best domestic and world experience in automating complex level production. As a matter of fact, the entire erp concept is built on maximally covering all business processes in an enterprise, linking them into one system operating in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. Many people believe that the cost of SCP is lower than the cost of ERP, and this is a strong argument in favor of the former. However, even taking into account the fact that when choosing UPP the price is more attractive, the versatility of ERP takes precedence.

In this article we will talk about the ERP system “Manufacturing Enterprise Management”. When automating manufacturing companies, this product often turns out to be the optimal solution, and I have been involved in the implementation of 1C UPP for different organizations more than once.

While working, I noticed that there are practically no reviews of this software product. There are technical documentation, some advice for programmers on solving specific problems in this system, and training courses. But for users there is no clear description of the entire system. And very often, before implementing this software product, I have to explain the features, advantages and disadvantages of “Manufacturing Enterprise Management” practically “on my fingers”.

Even on Habré in the ERP section there was still no information about this system. It was this gap that I decided to fill. In addition, I hope that my article will help entrepreneurs and IT specialists at the stage of choosing software for automating a manufacturing enterprise and prepare them for the features that need to be taken into account when implementing this system.

In this review I want to tell you what the UPP ed. system is. 1.3, so that whoever decides to buy and implement it is more aware and more conscious in choosing this expensive product. I will try to give an objective assessment of the system, based on my experience with it and the experience of my clients. This review will help someone make a positive decision regarding the purchase of the program, and someone will decide to abandon it.

In order to understand the features of a software product, you need to answer the following questions:

What is the system, what tasks are set for it.
How capable is this system of performing its assigned tasks?
Identify the pros and cons of the system.

The first thing that is very important to understand: 1C. Manufacturing enterprise management is not just an accounting system; during its development, modern methods of enterprise management were taken into account, and therefore this product is offered for use, including as an ERP system. Further, from the name it follows that this particular product is intended for production-type enterprises. It is from this point of view that I intend to consider the 1C UPP software product.

What is an ERP system?

The ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system is a corporate information system that is designed to control, record and analyze all types of business processes and solve business problems on an enterprise scale.

Simply put, the ERP system combines all types of accounting that are present in the company. Using ERP systems, information is exchanged and interaction is carried out between different departments, etc. In the case of the ERP system “Manufacturing Enterprise Management”, the software product offers the implementation of all these functions for a manufacturing company.

When implementing the “Manufacturing Enterprise Management” product, the developers tried to combine the maximum possible list of functions in the system. If you look at the documents, you can count as many as 15 subsystems. The fact is that in 1C documents are grouped into subsystems:

Manufacturing control
Cost management
Procurement management
Planning
Tax and accounting
Wage
Personnel accounting, etc.

Those. We tried to include in this system all the functions that may be required for the operation of a manufacturing enterprise. This is exactly how the 1C company positions its ERP system: it already has everything you need to automate any processes without using other software products.

The screenshot I took clearly shows that a very small part of the documents relates directly to production. All other documents are additional subsystems designed to make “Manufacturing Enterprise Management” a universal solution for the work of all departments. I don’t see any point in considering all these possibilities in detail, but it is important that each of the subsystems works efficiently and fully and can solve the needs of a specific business. In this article we will dwell in detail on the block that distinguishes UPP from other 1c - Production Management solutions.

1C UPP: more about the product

The 1C company positions “Manufacturing Enterprise Management” as one of its flagship products. This is a typical configuration from 1C, i.e. the software product is completely produced by 1C itself, and any modifications to the system must be carried out by official 1C partners. UPP is one of the configurations that is constantly supported by 1C; updates are released for it, etc.

For this standard configuration, many modified, so-called industry versions have been created: 1C.Mechanical Engineering, 1C.Meat Processing Plant, 1C.Furniture Production, 1C.Printing, etc.

Industry solutions are created by 1C partner companies based on the basic configuration. This usually happens as follows: modifications are made for a specific customer, after which they are “assembled” into a new version intended for the selected industry. The modified configuration is named after the industry for which it was written and is sold as a “boxed solution.”

Product cost

In order to work with this configuration, you must purchase the product itself. The recommended price from the 1C company is 186,000 rubles. And the licensing of this software product is carried out on a common basis for 1C, i.e. users of other 1C products may not purchase any separate licenses for this system.

Any license, for example, from 1C Accounting or 1C Trade and Warehouse is suitable for this system. Naturally, the cost of licenses for these products is the same.

It is important to understand: for industry solutions, 1C partner companies may require their own separate licenses. And here the price may differ from the basic version.

As when working with other products, licensing is carried out according to one of the options accepted in 1C: for a computer (device) and for a user (connections from any device). I will not go into detail here, since all the information is on the 1C website. You can get acquainted with it at the link: http://v8.1c.ru/enterprise/

A lot has been written about the 1C program itself. I have also already written about this platform, for example, in the article “Why 1C is bad and why 1C programmers are so disliked.” Taking into account the fact that the “Manufacturing Enterprise Management” system operates on the basis of 1C. Enterprise 8.3, all the advantages and disadvantages of the basic software are also present in it.

Let's take a closer look at the configuration

In the book “Production and Operations Management” by R.B. Chase, F.R. Jacobs, N.J. Aquilano, I liked the list of tasks that are posed to ERP systems for a manufacturing enterprise:

Keep records of new orders and promptly inform the production department about them.
Provide the sales department with the opportunity to see the status of the customer’s order at any time.
Provide the purchasing department with the opportunity to see production needs for materials at any time.
Providing the state with data on the company’s performance in a timely manner, i.e. maintain accounting and tax records.

Let's look at each of these points in more detail. For clarity, I will use one of my clients as an example - a sewing enterprise that uses the SCP system and is a classic and visual production model. This enterprise has many different departments: design, engineering, production, fabric and accessories storage department, finished product storage department, management department.

Accounting for new orders in the sales department

Order accounting is an integral part of the work of any sales department. Any order consists of several parts:

Customer accounting (to whom the sale is made);
Accounting for goods (what will be sold to the client).

Buyers (clients) are entered into the directory of Counterparties. Clients can be both individuals and legal entities. In the counterparty card, you can indicate all the company’s bank details, telephone numbers, delivery address and other information necessary for processing documents and making a sale.

And detailed information about all goods that can be sold is stored in the Nomenclature directory.

A nomenclature is a directory that is designed to store information about goods and services that can be provided to the buyer. And in this system, nomenclature is one of the most complex reference books.

The following can be stored here:

Product Name
Series
Photos
Technical documentation files
Description and almost any other information about the product.

Using these directories, a sales department employee creates a Customer Order document, where he indicates the counterparty and a list of items with prices.

Using the example of sewing production, work on an order is divided into the following stages:

Accept orders and record customer needs.
If necessary, purchase material for the order.
Carry out cutting and then sewing of products.
Conduct inspection (quality control) of goods.
Transfer finished products to the warehouse.
Carry out shipment or delivery to the buyer.

So, the first stage of work has been completed: the Customer Order document has been created, which reflects the client’s data and the goods that he needs. Now we need to transfer the information to production.

Notifying production about new orders

Manufacturing should see new orders as soon as they arrive. The 1C UPP configuration, in general, copes with this task. But a counter-problem arises: production should see only those orders that need to be produced. Those. If the order document specifies goods that are already in stock, production is not interested in such an order, and its appearance in the list of documents available for production can create additional confusion.

Production should see orders immediately after they are received, but only that part of the orders for which products need to be produced.

In order to avoid such problems, 1C developers offer the following solution: based on the buyer's order, the sales manager must create a new document - Production Order, which will list the product items that need to be produced.

But this option cannot be called very convenient, since there is one more step in the work, completely dependent on the human factor. Those. After creating an order, the manager may forget to create a production order, make a mistake, and so on. As a result, the required goods will not be delivered to the production plan on time, and the customer will not receive the ordered products on time. Naturally, with full automation of the enterprise, such situations are unacceptable. On the other hand, this problem can be completely solved by creating additional processing.

We have created the following solution for a clothing company. An additional plugin was written that creates a production order automatically based on a certain list of different conditions.

This processing determined whether the required items were in stock. If not, then the next step was to analyze available items in production. If there are no such products or they are scheduled for a date later than specified in the order, a production order is automatically generated.

Conclusion: The system has everything you need to store information about products and customers. It is possible to create an order and transfer it to production. But to fully automate the work, it will still require modification to suit the needs of a specific enterprise.

Status of an order in production

As already mentioned, after an order has entered production, it is necessary to provide the sales department with the opportunity to monitor the status of the order in real time. It is important for the sales department manager to know at what stage the work is at: whether the ordered product has already been delivered to work, when it is planned to be completed, etc.

This is implemented in one of two ways:

The sales manager can track at what technological stage the work on the order is: planned, received, quality control, etc. Thus, a sales specialist can constantly monitor the work on each order and notify the client about deadlines.
A sales period is set for the product, i.e. the date when the list of required items will be produced, will be tested and will be ready for shipment.

The system does not provide the necessary tools to implement the first option. Reports that are available reflect only the status of orders and goods in stock. For production, if it is necessary to implement stage-by-stage notification, modifications will be needed.
Unfortunately, in the second case, there are no ready-made tools for cases when production may change the order completion date. Only the sales department can make any changes to the shipment date, and upwards. Typically, the manager can reschedule the shipment to a later date, but production will have to be notified of the possibility of changing the timing of the creation of goods manually. Also, if necessary, production cannot postpone the shipment date, even if it becomes possible to complete the order faster.

In the basic configuration, any changes in deadlines and determination of the stage of order fulfillment are carried out manually by employees, as a result of which the unpredictable human factor is included in the work. But here improvements will help solve the issue.

So, for sewing production, we created a summary report that showed: which batch of goods (from which orders) is in production, including, the report shows which batch is in cutting, which is in sewing, and so on. Those. we divided the production processes into stages, and the report displayed the overall picture - which products from which orders are at which stages of production, which are in queue (indicating the start date of work), which are in quality control, which have been sent to the warehouse.

Initially, this report was created for production workers so that they could monitor their work and make adjustments if necessary. But later we opened the same report to the sales department so that managers could also see the status of a particular order.

Conclusion: The configuration does not provide for automatic data exchange between the sales department and production after the order is submitted for processing. But it is possible to implement similar solutions based on this configuration by creating additional reports and processing.

Communication between production and purchasing department

A very important point is to provide production with the necessary materials. At the same time, for correct operation, it is necessary to provide production with everything necessary to fulfill orders and create goods for free sale from the warehouse, and on the other hand, it is necessary that excess materials do not accumulate in the warehouse. Therefore, the supply department must have access to up-to-date information about the amount of materials in the warehouse and current production needs, including a list of materials for orders that are just planned for production.

How this work should happen:

A list of needs is generated.
Based on this list and product specifications, a list of materials necessary for the production of products is formed.
Based on the received list, a procurement plan is formed.
In accordance with the procurement plan, the system generates orders for suppliers.

An important drawback of the system: The purchasing department has no way to see which materials need to be purchased from which suppliers and at what prices. Those. the reports only show general current production needs, and to obtain more detailed information, additional modifications must be made.
The system has a document called the Procurement Plan. It collects information about needs, i.e. about what needs to be purchased to ensure production and in what quantity, as it should be in a classic MRP system.

MRP (Material Requirements Planning) is an automated planning of the enterprise’s needs for raw materials and supplies for production. Planning is done based on specifications.

Specification (Bill of Material) is a reference book that describes all the parameters of a particular material, its qualities, features, tolerances. For a finished product or “semi-finished product,” the specification indicates what the product consists of.

The production of each product requires certain materials and semi-finished products. Materials can be ordered immediately based on specifications. For semi-finished products, it is necessary to take the next step - to figure out what materials, in turn, this or that semi-finished product consists of. And also add the necessary materials to the order.

Thus, each finished product is automatically divided into materials using several steps. For example:

The suit consists of trousers, a jacket and packaging (package). Trousers and a jacket are semi-finished products that need to be decomposed in the next step; to create a package, the material can be immediately added to purchases. In the second step, the trousers are “divided” into different types of fabric, thread, zipper, and buttons. Similarly, a jacket also consists of different types of fabric, threads and buttons. All these materials are added to the purchasing plan.

Now you can proceed to select a supplier for each of the materials and create an order. All of the above stages in the SCP system are not automated, and therefore some modifications will be required to solve the problem. At the same time, the configuration provides the ability to store all requirements, and there is also the ability to collect procurement information. But in the basic version, they all require human intervention, which reduces the level of convenience and reliability. Therefore, external processing will also be very useful here, especially since all the data and access to it are available in the system.

For sewing production, we solved the issue as follows. Based on the report developed for production, as well as information on orders, the need for the necessary materials was automatically calculated. Next, materials stored in the warehouse were subtracted from this list, and a report was created with the help of which purchases could be made. Suppliers then tell you how quickly they can deliver the materials. And this information is manually entered into the system, on the basis of which sellers will be able to notify customers about the timing of order production.

Accounting and tax reporting in a “box solution”

The typical configuration of “Manufacturing Enterprise Management”, as conceived by the developers, should collect all the information necessary for accounting and tax reporting and create all the reporting necessary for the work of the accounting department.
And here this configuration has a very large “Achilles heel”. The fact is that in each document there are three checkboxes:

УУ – document on management accounting;
BU - the document is subject to accounting;
NU – the document goes through tax accounting.

Since documents are not separated into different systems, the human factor comes into play. For example, an employee of the purchasing department or a storekeeper, after receiving materials, posts a receipt document. The material is registered. But if he does not check the BU box, then the accountant does not see the document, and he himself posts the invoice based on the tax invoice received by him. As a result, the document is corrected twice by different authors. And if any errors occur, it will be very difficult to identify the culprit.

I don’t know how this problem is solved in different cases. So far, I have come across options where management agreed with this shortcoming and preferred to rely on employees. The only method of protection against human error that has been implemented is to set the default checkboxes. In principle, in the small and medium-sized businesses with which I usually work, this is really enough.

Integration with other software products and systems

Integration is an important stage that is necessary when automating the work of any company, including production. It is necessary to understand that integration is an expensive process that takes a significant amount of time and effort. Since we are talking about a complex multifunctional ERP system, for high-quality automation of processes it will be necessary to obtain a large amount of various data from different sources.

If you look at it from a production point of view, you will definitely need to load data on product release dates, semi-finished products and materials into the system. The purchasing department uploads delivery notes and other receipt documents into the system. The sales department must upload information about orders and so on. In addition, different situations are possible in production, and it is very important that the system promptly receives information about material consumption, defect rates, rescheduling of production due to some difficulties that arose during the work process, etc.

For example, at a sewing enterprise, integration was carried out with a cutting machine. Integration with any CAD, with the company’s website, or with other solutions is also often required. And this stage of work often takes up to 30% of the budget.
At the same time, without such comprehensive solutions, the use of an EPR system will not be effective; you will not be able to reach a new level of control and automation of the enterprise. This is very important to understand.

Any system is only as effective as its weakest link. And if during implementation you refuse to integrate in one case or another, and rely on the human factor, errors will certainly accumulate, and the entire system will become unstable.
For example, if we are talking about designing a new product, then all design documentation should be uploaded from the design system (CAD) to the ERP system automatically. And then, if any questions or difficulties arise, it will always be possible to understand what specific product we are talking about. And designers will be able to make the necessary changes quickly and without errors.

When it comes to production, it is very important to receive timely and error-free information about incoming orders (for example, from a website or from a special order form) that need to be produced, as well as timely and error-free transmission of information about the actual materials used, which will allow work to continue no downtime.

I already mentioned above that at the sewing enterprise it was necessary to integrate with a cutting machine that cut 36 layers of fabric simultaneously; it was necessary to obtain information about the scraps, the amount of scrap, and distribute this scrap among the cost of the entire batch of products. Accordingly, an add-on was required that directly integrated with the machine so that the system understood the data that came out of it and sent data to the machine in a format that it could understand. In addition, processing was required for the data received from the machine to calculate defects and product costs.

Also, in many other cases, relying on the human factor is unacceptable, since errors, inaccuracies in the system, and untimely entry of information lead to disruptions in work. Therefore, integration is, of course, not a quick and expensive process, but it is necessary to improve the quality of work.

Industry solutions

In addition to the basic configuration of 1C. There are a significant number of industry solutions for SCP. They are created by 1C partner companies based on the basic configuration. Most often, such solutions appear as a result of the implementation of 1C.UPP for some manufacturing enterprise. After that, the modified version of the configuration for a particular industry is slightly modified and offered as a ready-made industry solution to customers.

Now on the 1C website you can find such configurations for almost any industry. But it is very important to understand the following points:

The configuration was modified to suit the needs of a specific enterprise. And there is no guarantee that this approach will be right for your company. For example, dairy production can create cottage cheese and sour cream by weight, or it can package these products in certain containers. It can produce milk, kefir and fermented baked milk, or it can specialize in yoghurts and desserts. Each of these cases will require different modifications. And it’s not a fact that those offered in the basic version from partners will suit you.
Industry configurations are carried out by partner companies on the basis of the main one, while significant changes are made to the configuration itself. Therefore, updates for the basic version of 1C. Soft starters are not suitable for an industry configuration. Users will have to wait until the 1C partner company also updates the industry version.

A few words about 1C. UPP ERP 2.0

There is also a separate 1C configuration. UPP ERP 2.0, to which significant improvements and additions were made necessary to automate the management of a manufacturing enterprise. Those. this configuration is positioned not just as a complete solution, but as a universal solution for a manufacturing enterprise that includes a full-fledged ERP system.

This system is also based on 1C, the configuration is also comprehensive, not modular. Therefore, all the features of 1C products, in principle, as well as the problems encountered when implementing complex 1C configurations, are also inherent in this system.

On the one hand, version 1C. UPP ERP 2.0 really features an expanded set of functions, primarily related to automation and management issues. But this software product was created relatively recently. And I believe that it is too early to switch to this version due to the fact that it has not yet been fully developed.

It is constantly updated with new features, new reference books, documents, reports, unlike 1C. UPP, to which updates only include corrections of identified bugs and updates to accounting and tax reporting related to changes in legislation.

In addition, the 1C system. UPP ERP 2.0 is much more expensive than the 1C configuration. UPP.

Pros and cons of the 1C UPP system

The system is truly comprehensive and, with appropriate modification, it can perform the functions of managing a production enterprise of a certain type. It is also important to understand that each industry will require different improvements. If the system was created for sewing clothes, it will not be suitable for a dairy production enterprise. Of course, you can also use industry solutions, but I personally do not recommend using such solutions.

Simply because if the standard configuration of “Manufacturing Enterprise Management” does not suit you in many respects, then industry solutions will not suit you either. In this case, it will be easier to choose another product or actually order a custom solution. And if the standard configuration suits you for the most part, then the number of modifications and settings to suit the characteristics of a particular business for a standard solution and an industry-specific one will differ little.

An important disadvantage of the system is the lack of modularity. Those. To solve certain problems, you can create certain processing or reports, “add-ons” to the system. They will work, but the basic solutions will remain untouched. But if for some purpose you need to make changes to the work of documents or reference books, you will need to make changes to all subsystems that exist in the configuration.

Due to the lack of modularity in this system, it is impossible to make any significant adjustments to accounting or, for example, to the work of warehouse accounting without significant changes to documents and directories intended for other departments. They are all connected and work with the same reference books and documents. However, this feature is widely known, as it is inherent in all software products from 1C.

That’s why no one usually makes significant improvements to this system; they try to make do with external processing, reports and other add-ons. Industry solutions are most often just a variation of a set of add-ons that was created for a specific enterprise related to a specified area. And you will still need some modifications, the cost of which differs little from modifications to the basic configuration. But the reliability of a standard solution is always higher than products from partner companies.

Conclusion. If you are satisfied with the basic system configuration, it is best to buy and install it. But at the same time, it is very important that the implementation of the system is carried out by experienced specialists who will be able to not only configure the software, but also make all the necessary improvements for your business, reports, and carry out integration with other software products and systems.

With the right approach, the 1C Manufacturing Enterprise Management system becomes an excellent tool that will allow you to achieve a high level of automation of business processes and coordination of the work of different departments of the company.

As a conclusion, I want to give some advice to those who have decided to purchase and implement the program “1C: Manufacturing Enterprise Management 8 edition 1.3”:

1. Choose a strategy

SCP is a complex and large product that claims to be universal. The product is expensive, and I'm talking here not only about the acquisition cost, but also about the cost of owning the program - qualified specialists are expensive, and there are very few of them. Choose a strategy and determine why you are buying this particular program and how you will use it, what you are going to do with it next.

What are the different strategies? One of my clients chose this configuration because “it is the only system that has everything.” This enterprise worked in several systems: 1c, Excel, etc. - they decided to take one system to consolidate accounting.

Another company, which was developing production, wanted to control work in progress - they were worried about accounting for materials in production. This is also a strategy.

2. Consider integration

Integration must be thought through initially in order to assess what financial and time resources will be spent on its implementation. An objective assessment of this fact can influence the decision whether to purchase this program or give preference to another product.

3. Assess the need for SCP in terms of the size of the company

SCP is not suitable for every company. I saw a company that employed 15 people. They somehow “inherited” the SCP system, but implementation and modification cost a lot of money, and in the end they never switched to SCP. You must understand that if your company is not sufficiently prepared to work with such a complex product, then it will not have any effect. I do not recommend this configuration for a small company.

4. Assess the need for SCP from an industry perspective

Although 1c writes that UPP is a universal solution, one must understand that it is only suitable for assembly production, which involves assembling one whole product from several parts. For the production of, for example, building materials and mixtures, this configuration was not suitable.

So where do we start? Let's start with how both solutions describe the economic model of the enterprise.

In 1C:UPP we have parallel independent management and regulated accounting. To do this, in the documents we indicate the compliance of the management unit and divisions of the organization, and also use the “Reflect in” flags to regulate in what type of accounting the documents should be reflected. Thus, synchronous parallel reflection of data in different types of accounting is carried out.

The construction principle in the 1C:ERP configuration is different. All economic activities are reflected within the framework of operational accounting. The concept of economic activity and the principle of its financial assessment are clearly separated. In this case, a financial assessment can be given according to any standards (RAS, IFRS or any accepted internal standards of the enterprise). Moreover, this financial assessment is done using the deferred method.

How does this affect the structure of the enterprise? First of all, departments and divisions of organizations are divided according to the tasks they solve. The organizational structure of organizations is reflected in the “Divisions” list; this directory solves exclusively personnel accounting problems.

Enterprise structure - used for prompt reflection of accounting documents in the system and for maintaining cost accounting for both management and accounting purposes. The composition of such units is determined by management goals, so in a sense, operational and management units form a single whole.

All transactions are reflected in operational accounting. This allows you to manage the enterprise and make decisions based on the analysis of all data. If some transaction needs to be reflected only for the purposes of regulated accounting, for this purpose certain transactions are provided for documents that are indicated in them, and the document is reflected only for regulated accounting. As a result, information on such documents will not affect operational management data.

1C:ERP is advisable to use for those enterprises where the accounting principles for management and regulated accounting correlate with each other.

Reflection of trading activities

An important issue for any company is the reflection of trading activities.

What are the main differences?

In 1C:UPP, trading activities with counterparties are carried out within the framework of a counterparty or agreement. Mutual settlements can be detailed before the order, invoice or payment document.

The concept of Partner (new directory) has been introduced into 1C:ERP. This is a directory of holding units or group of companies. The Contractors directory is actually a legal directory. Persons For each partner, you can define one or more counterparties. You can track mutual settlements by partners.

The main tool of 1C:UPP is the buyer's order. Within the order, you can use reports to track the volume of deliveries and the amount of debt. And when making payments using settlement documents, the number of days in debt.

In 1C:ERP it is possible to track orders by status: agreed, approved, for shipment, etc. And what is important, business processes for order approval have appeared. The mechanisms for visualizing the status of an order in the list of orders have been expanded (pictograms reflecting the importance of orders, color markers, obtaining transcripts of orders by pressing one button), which allows the user to quickly assess the situation. Convenient mechanisms for prompting work with an order have appeared: if an order requires a mandatory advance payment, it cannot be transferred to execution until payment is registered, accordingly, this order will not be reflected in the implementation generation workplace. All this reduces the erroneous generation of documents without complying with delivery conditions.

In 1C:UPP, to track conditions under a contract (obligation to sell certain products or make a sale for an amount), conditions are specified using the document “Conditions under contracts”, and control is carried out by the corresponding report. There is no automatic tracking of compliance of a specific implementation with the conditions or order in the functionality.

New tools have been added to 1C:ERP - standard and individual agreements. Partners can be assigned one sales condition, uniform discounts/markups, which is fixed in a standard agreement. And these indicators will be valid for all legal entities (Counterparties) included in the holding or group of companies.

A separate individual agreement can be established for an individual counterparty.

A mechanism has been implemented to monitor compliance of sales or deliveries with the agreement specified for a partner or counterparty. Control is carried out on the volume of delivery, price and conditions (advance payment, assigned discounts, etc.)

In 1C:UPP, discounts and markups can be assigned for a counterparty, for an item, or a price group of an item, for volume, by period.

In 1C:ERP, the mechanism for assigning and calculating discounts/markups, the conditions for assigning discounts/markups using the displacement mechanism (one discount/markup displaces another if the condition for its application occurs) has been significantly expanded.

Also, many users find it very convenient that 1C:ERP implements a mechanism for downloading prices from Excel.

Inventory control

In 1C:UPP, warehouses are a mandatory accounting section. The need to keep records of characteristics and series is specified for each item. You can maintain an order warehouse (use an incoming and outgoing warehouse order, where the storekeeper indicates only the counterparty, incoming/outgoing items and quantity, while price indicators are documented by the accounting department). Whether or not an order warehouse will be used is determined by regulations at the enterprise. In addition, the decision to issue or not to issue orders is made in each individual case, so there is no system control that after implementation a warrant is required or upon receipt the storekeeper created an order - no.

In 1C:ERP, warehouse accounting is enabled optionally. Thus, if a small enterprise does not have separate warehouses (one warehouse), there is no need to separate storage areas by territory, then warehouse accounting can be disabled. This does not mean that reports on warehouse balances cannot be obtained - they are generated in a standard manner. They just don’t have information about which warehouse this balance is in, because... warehouses are not important.

The maintenance of characteristics and series is retained, but these parameters are set for the item type. By series, accounting can be kept informatively (for reference, only for issuing a document) or fully (with receipt of balances for each series).

Maintaining an order scheme in 1C:ERP is optionally enabled for each warehouse. In addition, you can determine for which transactions orders are required - for example, only when written off from a warehouse. The storekeeper's issued sales document is an order to issue an order, which is reflected in his system desktop.

The operations of shipment from one warehouse and acceptance to another warehouse are also separated. This is convenient when warehouses are remote from each other and you need to understand that goods and materials have already been shipped from one warehouse, but they have not yet arrived at another warehouse.

1C:ERP implements a cellular warehouse. You can keep records within the warehouse by premises and work areas.

You can store goods in cells in 2 ways:

by reference placement method - in this case, the goods are taken into account in the context of a warehouse (premises), the balances of goods in each cell are not controlled, only the specific storage location of the goods is determined.
method of address storage - in this case, goods are taken into account in the context of cells, and control of goods in cells is carried out.

The first method allows you to simply quickly find the product upon shipment, and the cell upon receipt. The second method is aimed specifically at automating and optimizing the processes of placement and selection of goods, taking into account various strategies, and allows you to control weight, volume, cell fullness and other parameters.

Organization of operational management in production

Since ERP-class systems are intended, first of all, to solve the problems of manufacturing enterprises, issues related to the organization of operational management in production are of the greatest interest. What are the main differences between 1C:UPP and 1C:ERP?

In 1C:UPP, all processes are based on the structure of the product. To use planning mechanisms, it is necessary to specify specifications for manufactured products in the system. Because of this, the system places very high demands on the detail of master data, down to each technological operation performed at each technological work center. This approach ensures only strictly sequential execution of the order: first we must complete the full development of technological documentation, and only then begin to manufacture the products that interest us.

In 1C:ERP the approach is different. In fact, the emphasis is on managing production processes. Two-level control is presented, i.e. inter-shop planning and management within the workshop.

Inter-shop planning is the definition and planning of the implementation of production stages; at this point it is enough to describe the products according to the stages being performed. For each stage, you can specify the output products, materials and services that will be required at this stage, as well as the labor costs that are required to complete it. This is a description of the production process. When describing it, you can take into account those factors that are not clearly indicated in the technological documentation and indicate the most realistic deadline in terms of duration.

And the direct execution within the stage of each operation is delegated to the workshop level and detailed technological documentation for the implementation of each stage can be issued at the beginning of its implementation. This allows you to organize parallel work on the product, from the moment the production process begins, to finalize the technological documentation for subsequent stages.

For management at the workshop level, a tool has appeared - a route sheet (for production accounting mode 2.1) or a production stage (for production accounting mode 2.2), in which specific operations to be performed are determined within the execution stage.

The production schedule in 1C:UPP is an operational production schedule that is planned on a continuous time axis. When creating it, the availability of work centers is assessed. Such a schedule is very sensitive to deviations that may occur during its actual implementation, and also places high demands on the speed of feedback for organizing replanning.

In the 1C:ERP application solution, the production schedule is built by intervals. Those. planning is carried out on a discrete time axis, which is divided into planning intervals, which are set individually for each department. Availability control during scheduling is performed for work centers and material resources. This approach means initially introduced temporary redundancy. However, in combination with the operational reflection of the implementation of route sheets/production stages, where deviations in the execution of stages are recorded, it allows reducing the number of cases when re-planning is required. The freedom of the local dispatcher allows the program to be executed within the planned period.

This article discusses the main distinctive features of accounting for fixed assets in 1C:ERP compared to 1C:UPP, and provides links to a more complete description for each section of accounting.

Two options for equipment accounting

In 1C:UPP, purchased equipment is accounted for in accounts 08.04 “Purchase of fixed assets” and 07 “Equipment for installation”, the analytics of which are the directories “Nomenclature” and “Warehouse”. Thus, the purchased equipment is first entered into the “Nomenclature” directory, and then, when accepted for accounting, a new fixed asset is created in the “Fixed Assets” directory.

In 1C:ERP there are two options for equipment accounting:

Accounting for equipment in account 08.04.1 "Components of fixed assets". In this case, the receipt of equipment is reflected similarly to 1C:UPP. Analytics for account 08.04.1 are also the reference books "Nomenclature" and "Warehouse". Before accepting equipment for accounting from account 08.04.1 “Components of fixed assets” must be written off to account 08.04.2 “Preparation for commissioning”. Next, the acceptance of fixed assets for accounting is reflected.
Equipment accounting on account 08.04.2 “Preparation for commissioning.” In this case, the received equipment is immediately reflected on account 08.04.2, the analytics of which are the directories “Operation Facilities” (analogous to the directory “Fixed Assets” in 1C:UPP) and “ Expense items." When using this option, the equipment is not entered into the "Nomenclature" directory, but is immediately reflected with analytics for the fixed asset in which it will later be accepted for accounting.

Availability of specialized documents for accounting for leased fixed assets and leased fixed assets

Unlike 1C:UPP, where all transactions on leased fixed assets were reflected in the document “Operation (accounting and tax accounting)”, 1C:ERP provides special documents for reflecting transactions on leased fixed assets.

1C:ERP also provides special documents for recording transactions on leased fixed assets. It is possible to lease fixed assets to your own organization or to a third party. In the case of the transfer of fixed assets for lease to one's own organization, the transfer documents form movements simultaneously for both the organization - the lessor and the organization - the tenant. There is no need to enter a mirror document.

Availability of specialized documents for accounting for asset leasing

1C:ERP provides special documents for recording fixed asset leasing operations. To record leasing agreements, a separate reference book “Leasing Agreements” is used. The leasing agreement specifies on whose balance sheet the leased property is listed and whether the leased asset is expected to be repurchased at the end of the leasing period.

The receipt of the leased asset, both in the case of accounting off the balance sheet and in the case of accounting on the balance sheet, is reflected in the document “Receipt of leased assets”. In this case, automatically, depending on the selected agreement, the leased asset is credited either to account 001 “Leased fixed assets” or to account 08.04 “Purchase of equipment” with further acceptance for accounting to account 01 “Fixed assets”.

In both options for accounting for property (on the balance sheet / off the balance sheet), the document “Receipt of leasing services” is entered monthly at the end of the month. For leasing agreements with the property accounting option “Off balance”, this document reflects the receipt of leasing services. Leasing services are reflected according to the expense item selected in the document. For leasing agreements with the property accounting option “On balance”, this document reflects leasing services and the offset of the security deposit. Monthly recognition of leasing payments in NU is carried out by a routine operation generated automatically in the “Month Closing” processing.

The repurchase of property leased under a leasing scheme, accounting for which was kept on an off-balance sheet account, if the repurchase is provided for by the terms of the agreement, occurs under a separate agreement for the acquisition of future fixed assets; standard documents for working with non-current assets are used to formalize transactions.

Accounting for precious metals

1C:ERP implements accounting for the content of precious metals in fixed assets. Data on the precious metals contained in the fixed asset are recorded in the fixed asset card on the “Precious materials” tab. Precious materials are selected from the “Precious Materials and Stones” directory. For gemstones, the location of the gemstone is additionally indicated, the options for which are presented in the figure below.

The presence of precious materials in fixed assets is reflected in printed forms of documents for accepting fixed assets for accounting (forms OS-1, OS-1a, OS-1b), inventory card (form OS-6), documents for writing off fixed assets (forms OS-4 , OS-4a, OS-4b).

OS revaluation

Unlike 1C:UPP, where there was no specialized document for the revaluation of fixed assets and therefore it was necessary to manually adjust the registers, 1C:ERP provides a document “Revaluation of fixed assets”. This document is, of course, not ideal - it does not have the ability to download from Excel and the ability to specify a revaluation coefficient, but the very fact of having this document is already a big plus, since it moves all the necessary registers for accounting for fixed assets. And loading fixed assets from an Excel file, usually provided by appraisal companies that revaluate fixed assets, is not difficult to modify if desired.
