Integrate your production planning and shop floor. ERPNext’s customer management, sales orders, inventory, purchasing, accounting, and financial reporting make real-time coordination across all your business verticals easier.

With ERPNext’s Job Cards, Operations and Workstations features, you can automatically capture daily activities on your shop floor. View real-time status of the job work being done to manufacture products, the location of every workstation, employee assignments, and each work order’s current status and pending steps — all in one screen.

Suppose you produce t-shirts in different sizes and colors. You’ll need to track each type of t-shirt and its variants, known as item variants. In ERPNext, the primary item is stored as an item template, and each of the variations is stored as an item variant. You can store any attribute, such as color or shape, for each item variant.

Use serial numbers to uniquely identify units. Set up naming series, and ERPNext will automatically create serial numbers for new stock. You can even scan item barcodes via your device camera for easy search through all your stock.

Don’t let systems stop you from measuring materials exactly the way you want! Keep track of different units of measurement for your inventory. Set up conversion factors in the Item master itself and facilitate smooth sales, purchase, and stock transactions. All conversions will be handled by the system.

To prevent stockouts, track an item’s reorder level. When the stock level goes below the reorder level, ERPNext will automatically create a material request. This helps you replenish inventory at exactly the right time and reduce chances of stock exhaustion.
