Plan your work from Exact Online with vPlan: Exact planning

1. Exact & vPlan: a powerful combination

Exact Online offers various modules with different options and functionalities. We’ll briefly explain each module!

Exact Online provides different modules. Thanks to the integration with vPlan, you can plan work orders, projects, sales orders, and employees visually, in real-time, and without errors. Below you’ll find the possibilities per module:

Exact Online Manufacturing

In the manufacturing module, you can create work orders, sales orders, and purchase orders. Within the work orders, the integration with vPlan ensures that your complete bill of materials is transferred. This includes operations and materials.

Additionally, it is possible to retrieve work centres, allowing you to schedule your orders visually on them.

Exact Online Projectmanagement

vPlan retrieves your projects from Exact so you can plan them visually. Within vPlan, the recorded time can be sent back to your accounting. Handy for budget control and invoicing.

For example, retrieve WBS projects or projects with the type Hours per Hour Type. Within WBS (Work Breakdown Structure), it is even possible to determine how the integration will work – for example, planning per deliverable or per activity.

Exact Online Handel

Link sales orders, items, and quotations to your planning. Using the unit 'hours' makes planning easy to understand.

Exact Online HR

In Exact Online HR, it is possible to create employees with a schedule. The integration retrieves all information from Exact and imports it into vPlan. This includes employees, schedules, and absences such as leave and sick days. This way, you can accurately determine available capacity.

Exact Online Time & Billing

Within the Time & Billing module of Exact Online, it is possible to create general projects. Data such as the project code, description, delivery date, and more can be retrieved via the integration.
