Feature · Material
Materials always in view.
Down to the last screw.
Keep inventory levels, derive requirements from orders, track purchase orders — and make it clear to the employee at a glance whether they can start their task.
The task "carcass building" wants to start — but the fittings are set to "ordered". Gantway blocks the start until the goods receipt is booked. No work started that waits on parts.
Was diese Funktion macht
The material requirement is tied directly to the task: when planning, you record what is needed, and Gantway automatically reconciles it against inventory — whatever is missing appears, aggregated across all active orders, in the purchase requisitions used by purchasing. The withdrawal gate prevents a task from starting as long as its material is set to "to order" or "ordered"; once the goods receipt is booked, it releases itself. Every movement is recorded in the immutable material log — no deletions, only corrections with a reason. That way, the workshop and purchasing know the same thing without having to coordinate.
Vom Bedarf zur Lieferung
Unterschreitet ein Artikel den Mindestbestand, wird daraus eine Bestellanforderung — verfolgbar bis zur Lieferung.
Was Sie damit können
Requirement, stock, order. One log instead of three lists.
Immutable material log
Inventory movements are never deleted, only new movements are added. Movement types: opening stock, correction, withdrawal. Cancellations are handled via reverse entries with a mandatory reason — the complete history remains traceable.
Material per task
For each task, you assign the specific material requirement (item, quantity, unit). Three modes: no material, withdraw from inventory, to order. With inline item creation, in case the item is not yet in the master data.
Delivery status visible per line item
Every material line item has a clear status: in stock, to order, ordered, delivered. Purchasing maintains the status, and in the task list the employee immediately sees whether the material is available. As a rule, material can only be withdrawn once the order is released or in progress — for drafts or completed orders, no withdrawal is possible.
Purchase requisitions aggregated live
Gantway automatically adds up what needs to be ordered across all active orders. The order list is recalculated on every call, so it is always current. Sortable by category, quantity, urgency, and exportable as CSV as a working basis for purchasing.
Automatic shopping lists instead of a supplier API
Gantway provides aggregated shopping lists as a working basis — no more, but no less. No direct connection to supplier web shops or ordering APIs. The purchasing process (inquiry, order, invoice verification) runs outside the software. That keeps the system simple and the buyer flexible.
Negative stock with a warning
Gantway allows negative stock — for example, if you withdrew before taking inventory — but marks it as a warning. That way the system does not break when reality diverges from the database.
Anwendungsfälle
So nutzen Sie es.
Drei typische Situationen.
Check ordering needs in the morning
First cup of coffee — you open the purchase requisitions. Gantway shows: 50 m of oak edge banding, 200 pcs. of 8 mm screw dowels, 12 m² of 19 mm chipboard. Three clicks, one CSV file for the supplier.
Book a goods receipt
The supplier arrives at 2 p.m., you scan through the delivery note and book the goods receipt with a click. Gantway automatically unlocks all tasks that were waiting for this material.
Add special material after the fact
You need a special fitting that is not yet in the item master. In the material form, you create it inline — without leaving the workflow.
