Create manufacturing orders in Erplain, track the required components, and turn them into finished products. Your Bills of Material (BOMs), routings, and inventory are centralized in one tool, giving you better control over your manufacturing operations.
Base your manufacturing operations on clear BOMs to identify the required components and the quantities to use
Keep inventory up to date
Track consumed components, manufactured finished products, and available quantities after each manufacturing order
Structure your operations
Organize your manufacturing with routings that match your processes: pre-production, production, post-production, or outsourced steps
Manufacturing
Turn components into finished products
Create assembled products from components already in your inventory. Track what is used, what is manufactured, and what remains in stock, without juggling separate files or losing visibility between inventory, assembly, and sales.

MANUFACTURING ORDERS
Launch and track your manufacturing operations
With Erplain, your manufacturing orders structure each production run: the product to manufacture, required components, steps to follow, and deadlines. You keep a clear view of what is used and what enters inventory, even when part of the process is outsourced.

BILLS OF MATERIAL (BOMs)
Define the required components
BOMs let you define the components needed to manufacture a finished product. They work like a recipe: each component is assigned a specific quantity to produce one unit of the assembled product.

ROUTINGS
Structure your manufacturing steps
Routings help you organize the different steps required to manufacture your assembled products: pre-production, production, post-production, and more. This makes it easier to standardize your processes.

Manufacturing Management Software FAQ
What is a manufacturing order?
A manufacturing order, also known as a production order, is used to launch and track the manufacturing of a finished product from components. It includes the product to manufacture, planned quantities, the Bill of Material (BOM) used, the associated routing, and the production steps.Stock count software helps businesses manage stocktaking, compare theoretical quantities with physically counted quantities, and adjust stock variances. It helps companies keep their inventory data accurate without managing stock counts in separate spreadsheets.
What is a Bill of Material (BOM)?
A Bill of Material (BOM) is the list of components needed to manufacture a finished product. It specifies the products used and the quantities required to produce one unit of the assembled product.
What is a routing?
A routing describes the steps required to manufacture a product. It can include pre-production, production, and post-production steps, with required or optional steps.
Can assembled products be managed in Erplain?
Yes. Erplain lets you create assembled products from components already in your inventory. Finished products and their components remain tracked in your product catalog.
What is the difference between a Bill of Material and a routing?
A Bill of Material (BOM) defines the components needed to manufacture a finished product. A routing describes the steps to follow to complete the manufacturing process.
Does Erplain update inventory after manufacturing?
Yes. Erplain tracks the components used and the finished products created, helping you keep inventory levels consistent after each manufacturing operation.
Can production be completed in multiple batches?
Yes. A manufacturing order can be completed in multiple batches. This lets you record produced quantities progressively and track the progress of the manufacturing order.
