PassedWhat it covers
Everything between the order and the dispatch
Set up the parts you use today. Discrete, batch and process manufacturers all run on the same building blocks.
Production planning
Plan from sales orders or forecasts. The plan works out what to make, what to buy and when.
- Planning from sales orders
- Material requirement (MRP)
- Sub-assembly planning
Work orders
Each work order reserves material, moves it to the shop floor and records finished goods.
- Material transfer to WIP
- Partial completion
- Batch and serial on output
Job cards and shop floor
Operations on workstations, with time logs per operator and machine.
- Workstations and capacity
- Time logs per operation
- Downtime recorded
Subcontracting
Send material to a job worker, receive finished goods and pay for the service, with stock tracked at their end.
- Raw material sent to supplier
- Subcontracting receipt
- Stock at job worker
Quality inspection
Inspection templates with readings and limits on incoming, in-process and outgoing goods.
- Parameters with limits
- Accept or reject
- Linked to the batch
Batches and traceability
Every batch and serial number traced from raw material to the customer.
- Batch-wise consumption
- Expiry dates
- Trace forward and back
Costing
Material, operation and overhead cost per unit, compared with the price you sell at.
- BOM cost updated from rates
- Actual vs planned cost
- Margin by product
How it flows
One order, from planning to the invoice.
Every step creates a linked document, so anyone can open the order and see where it stands.
Sales order
Customer orderThe order comes from the office or a rep in the field, with the price list applied.
WhoSalesUpdatesDelivery date, reserved stockProduction plan
MRP runThe plan explodes the BOM and shows what to make, and what raw material is short.

Material requestShort items go to purchase as requests, then orders with approval.
WhoPurchaseUpdatesPurchase orders, expected datesWork order
Shop floorMaterial moves to work-in-progress; job cards record each operation and its time.

Reports
Know what is late, short and costing more.
Production reports read the same records the shop floor writes, so they are current without anyone compiling them.

FAQ
About Manufacturing ERP
Have a different process?
Tell us how you work today and we will show it set up in BeatOS ERP.
Talk to us →Is it for discrete or process manufacturing?
Both. Assembled products use multi-level BOMs and serial numbers; batch and process products use batch BOMs, process loss and batch-wise quality checks.
Can we plan production from sales orders?
Yes. A production plan pulls open sales orders or a forecast, works out what to make and creates work orders and material requests for anything short.
Do you support job work (subcontracting)?
Yes. You send raw material to the job worker, receive the finished goods against a subcontracting order and the stock at their end is tracked.
Can we track batches and expiry?
Yes. Raw material and finished goods can be batch-wise with expiry dates, and every batch can be traced from supplier to customer.
How is product cost worked out?
From the BOM: materials at your chosen rate, operation time on each workstation and any overheads. Actual cost from each work order is compared with the planned cost.
