Manufacturing ERP
Software
For Production, Stock & Cost Control
Exalix Tech implements ERPNext Manufacturing ERP for factories worldwide-connecting BOM, production planning, shop-floor operations, inventory, and costing into one integrated system. As an Expert ERPNext Partner, we bring discipline and predictability to your factory floor.
Problems Manufacturers Face Without Proper ERP
These issues silently eat profit, stop production lines, and make scaling impossible.
Raw Material Mismatch
Production halts because a critical component ran out - while other raw materials sit unused in the warehouse. Procurement and production run on different information.
No Production Visibility
Management doesn't know what's in production, what's delayed, or what's ready for dispatch - until someone physically walks the floor or makes phone calls.
Wrong Product Costing
Actual production cost is unknown or estimated. Pricing decisions are made on guesswork, eroding margins on every order without anyone realising it.
Untracked Job Work & Scrap
Material sent to subcontractors is not tracked. Scrap and rejections are not accounted for. This creates financial leakage that compounds with every production cycle.
Missed Delivery Commitments
Without production schedules linked to sales orders, delivery dates are promises made without data - leading to customer dissatisfaction and lost repeat business.
BOM & Version Confusion
Multiple versions of product recipes or BOMs exist across paper, Excel, and email. Production teams use wrong specifications leading to rejections and rework.
How ERPNext Manufacturing Actually Helps
Practical control across every stage - from raw material to finished goods dispatch.
Planned Production, Not Guesswork
ERPNext generates production plans from sales orders, forecasts, and minimum stock levels - so you always know what to produce, when, and with what material. Urgent last-minute purchases become the exception, not the rule.
Live Shop-Floor Visibility
Track work orders, job cards, and production status in real time from any device. Know exactly what's in process, who's working on it, and when it will be ready - without walking the floor or chasing supervisors.
Accurate Product Costing
Raw material consumption, direct labour from job cards, machine costs, and overhead are captured for every production run. Know your actual cost per unit - not an estimate - so pricing decisions are based on real data, not intuition.
Controlled Inventory Flow
Raw material → WIP → Finished goods movement is tracked automatically through stock entries linked to work orders. No hidden loss, no unexplained consumption, no reconciliation surprises at month-end.
Subcontracting Under Control
Track every kilogram or unit sent to job workers - with automatic accounting entries for material transfers, processing costs, and finished goods received back. No more guessing what's sitting at a vendor's shop.
Quality Control at Every Stage
Define inspection criteria at receipt, in-process, and before dispatch. Capture quality readings, block non-conforming batches, and maintain a complete inspection history per lot or batch - essential for regulated industries.
Manufacturing Types We Implement For
ERPNext is flexible enough to handle diverse manufacturing models. Exalix Tech has experience configuring it for each.
Discrete Manufacturing
Engineered products assembled from distinct components - machinery, auto parts, electronics, furniture, and fabricated goods. BOM-driven work orders with operation-level tracking.
Process Manufacturing
Batch or continuous production with formulas and recipes - chemicals, pharma, food & beverage, paints, adhesives, and rubber. Full batch traceability and yield management.
Job Work & Subcontracting
Send raw materials to external processors and track quantities, costs, and quality of goods received back. Full material movement accounting with vendor-wise reporting.
Make-to-Order (MTO)
Production triggered directly by customer orders - custom fabrication, engineered-to-order products, and project-based manufacturing with job-wise cost tracking.
Make-to-Stock (MTS)
Produce to a forecast or minimum stock level. ERPNext automates replenishment work orders based on reorder points, keeping finished goods inventory optimized.
Repetitive Manufacturing
High-volume, repetitive production runs with standardized BOMs. Simplified work order management with quick backflushing of raw materials for faster shop-floor recording.
ERPNext Manufacturing Features - What You Get
Every capability a modern manufacturing business needs - out of the box, properly configured by Exalix Tech for your specific production model.
Multi-level BOM
Define product structures with unlimited levels of sub-assemblies. Manage alternate BOMs, BOM versions, and scrap percentages per operation.
Production Planning
Auto-generate work orders from sales orders or forecasts. Material requirement planning (MRP) identifies what to buy and when to buy it.
Job Cards
Assign operations to work centres and operators. Record actual time taken per job card. Track efficiency variance against standard times.
Work Centres & Capacity
Define machines, work centres, and their capacities. Schedule production against available capacity to prevent overloading any station.
Batch & Serial Tracking
Full traceability from raw material lot to finished goods batch. Track serial numbers for high-value items. Mandatory for pharma and food manufacturers.
Quality Inspection
Define inspection parameters at inward, in-process, and outward stages. Block stock movement until inspection is approved. Full QC history per batch.
Subcontracting
Issue raw materials to vendors, track processing, and receive finished goods. Automatic accounting for material transfer and job work cost.
Manufacturing Reports
Production vs plan reports, WIP status, scrap analysis, work centre utilisation, BOM cost comparison, and job card efficiency dashboards.
Accounting Integration
Every production transaction posts automatically to accounting - material consumption, WIP movement, finished goods, scrap, and overhead. Zero manual journal entries.
Who Should Implement Manufacturing ERP?
If production is the core of your business and your current systems can't keep up, manufacturing ERP will give you the visibility and control to scale.
Discrete & process manufacturers with BOM-based production.
Job-work businesses and companies managing subcontractors.
Factories that need real product cost - not estimates - for pricing.
Growing manufacturers outgrowing spreadsheets and standalone software.
Pharma, food, and chemical companies needing batch traceability & QC.
Export-oriented manufacturers needing multi-currency & compliance reporting.
Industries We've Served
Across India and global remote implementations.
How Exalix Tech Implements Manufacturing ERP
A structured process built around your production model - remote or on-site, worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can ERPNext handle multi-level BOM for complex manufacturing?
Yes. ERPNext supports multi-level Bills of Materials with nested sub-assemblies, alternate BOMs, scrap tracking, and BOM versioning. It handles both simple single-level BOMs and complex multi-level assemblies used in engineering and discrete manufacturing.
Does ERPNext support job work and subcontracting?
Yes. ERPNext has a dedicated subcontracting module for tracking raw materials sent to job workers, finished goods received, job work costs, and quality checks - all linked to accounting entries automatically.
How does ERPNext calculate actual manufacturing cost?
ERPNext captures actual manufacturing cost by combining raw material consumption (at actual rates), direct labor cost from job cards, machine/overhead costs, and scrap recovery - giving you the true cost per finished unit for accurate pricing decisions.
Is ERPNext suitable for process manufacturing (chemicals, food, pharma)?
Yes. ERPNext supports process manufacturing with batch production, batch/lot tracking, yield management, quality control checkpoints, and expiry date tracking - suitable for chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and FMCG manufacturers.
Can ERPNext track work-in-progress (WIP) inventory?
Yes. ERPNext tracks the complete material flow from raw material stores → WIP → finished goods automatically through stock entries linked to work orders - eliminating manual WIP tracking and reconciliation.
Does manufacturing ERP integrate with accounting?
Yes. In ERPNext, every production transaction - material consumption, finished goods receipt, scrap, overhead - automatically posts to the correct accounting ledgers. Manufacturing and finance are always in sync without manual journal entries.
How long does ERPNext manufacturing implementation take?
A standard manufacturing ERP implementation by Exalix Tech takes 8–16 weeks depending on BOM complexity, number of work centres, and integration requirements. Simple setups can go live in 6 weeks.
