Application Structure
Work Breakdown Structure
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is the core organization and planning engine of the application.
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) module offers you the power to organize, plan and control all of your organizational activities.
Its functions allow you to organize your world-wide business by continent, countries, states, cities, by company, company teams, cost centers, production or investments.
Different organizational structures can also be associated with different currencies allowing you to keep track of costs for each country and company using the local currency.
The following tools and functions are integrated into the WBS module:
- Multitasking - WBS allows users to setup an unlimited number of organizational structures that could represent continents, countries, states, cities, and corporations/companies, cost centers, investment projects or departments. You can go as far downstream as you need even to the smallest level of activity task and much lower if necessary;
- Multi-currency - Define reference currencies for different organizational structures. For example, your US-based company will run its accounts in USD, while your Russian business will be based in RUR and have USD as its reference currency. Companies based in the EU will have EUR as their reference currencies;
- Multi-user access - Users with similar roles can work simultaneously on the same task as a team (one employee will then have responsibility for the budget, the other for planning, etc);
- Workflow planning - Plan and initiate a wide variety of workflow processes (production, construction or services) through WBS - The Who, What, When, Costs and much more;
- Team roles management - Including the roles of individual users within the team (who is doing what);
- GANTT planning - WBS has a classic GANTT planning tool incorporated;
- Resources planning - This special feature was designed to allow users to import resources from the RDB database to a task of their choice and also to perform a wide variety of resource planning tasks, such as cash flow, bids, contracts, workflows, HR, payroll and planning;
- Folder functions - WBS can be used in the same way as the classic Windows folder application and has similar options for saving documents and files for individual tasks;
- Edit Functions - Although Horus-ERP is primarily a web application, it also has several routine functions (Edit, Cut, Copy, Paste, etc), which can be called up from drop-down menus or icons making it possible for users to use the application just like any other non web application;
- Logs - The Horus-ERP WBS application has a built-in log feature that allows you to log and track user accesses and edit operations;
- Other functions - Special copy and paste functions are extremely useful for creating standard project templates. These functions not only duplicate the multiple structure of the task but also copy all allocated teams, resources, team rights and planning data.
