Frequently asked questions

What is a BOM in manufacturing ERP?

A bill of materials lists components and quantities required to produce a finished item. Accurate BOMs drive material planning, costing, and work order consumption.

When does a small factory need ERP?

When multi-level BOMs, batch production, QC holds, or inventory backflush make spreadsheet planning unreliable.

How does manufacturing connect to inventory?

Material issue reduces raw stock; production receipt increases finished goods — both post to the stock ledger when Manufacturing and Inventory are enabled.
