Precision Manufacturing Control
From the Bill of Materials (BOM) to the final Quality Check (QC). ERPNext unifies your shop floor, ensuring you never run out of raw materials or lose track of WIP.
Integrates with
The Production Lifecycle
ERPNext connects the office to the factory floor. Data flows seamlessly from planning to execution.
1. Plan (MPS)
Analyze sales orders and forecasts to create a Master Production Schedule.
2. MRP Run
Auto-generate Purchase Requests for raw materials and Work Orders for assembly.
3. Shop Floor
Operators log time via Job Cards. Materials are transferred to WIP warehouses.
4. QC & Finish
Execute inspection templates. Move finished goods to stock and capitalize costs.
Built for complex assemblies.
Whether you are in discrete manufacturing (machinery, electronics) or process manufacturing (chemicals, food), ERPNext adapts to your workflow.
Why upgrade from spreadsheets?
- Real Costing: Automatically calculate finished goods cost based on Raw Material + Labour + Electricity + Rent.
- Subcontracting: Track raw materials sent to vendors and stock received back.
- Batches & Serials: Full traceability from raw material batch to finished product serial number.
BOM Management
Create multi-level Bills of Materials. Manage version control (BOM-001, BOM-002) to handle design changes without disrupting production.
MRP & Planning
Stop guessing what to buy. The MRP engine considers current stock, lead times, and open orders to tell you exactly what to purchase and when.
Job Cards & Operations
Assign tasks to Workstations (e.g., Cutting, Welding). Track actual time taken vs. estimated time to identify bottlenecks.
Quality Inspection
Enforce QC at every stage: Incoming Raw Materials, Work-in-Progress (WIP), and Pre-Dispatch. Store readings and pass/fail results.
The Exalix Manufacturing Advantage
| Feature | Legacy / Excel | ERPNext Mfg |
|---|---|---|
| Material Planning | Manual / Reactive | Automated (MRP) |
| Costing Accuracy | Estimates only | Precise (Material + Ops) |
| Traceability | None / Paper logs | Full Batch/Serial History |
| Shop Floor Data | Delayed (Day end) | Real-time (Kiosk Mode) |
The Manufacturing Pilot
We don't shut down your factory to install software. We start with a single production line or product family.
We map one complex BOM, define your Workstations, and identify key QC checkpoints.
We run a "Shadow Production" week. Operators enter data on tablets/stations alongside current methods.
We compare ERPNext costings vs. your actuals. Once variances are < 2%, we roll out.
Happy Enterprise
As a leading tiles & ceramics manufacturer, Happy Enterprise struggled with manual BOMs and stock variance. We implemented strict BOM governance, automated PRs via MRP, and enabled audit-ready shop floor tracking.
