Rate × quantity
₹4.50 per hole × 24 holes. The rate lives on the operation master and applies to actual output, which is how piece-rate shops genuinely pay.
Product
No fluff. The features Indian factories actually need.
One data model spanning engineering, the shop floor, the stores and the ledger — so a number entered on the floor is the same number your accountant sees.
Module 01
Manufacturing & bills of materials
Everything else in the system hangs off the BOM, so this is where the depth is.
- Recursive multi-level explosion. Sub-assemblies inside sub-assemblies, expanded to any depth with rolled-up quantities and cost.
- ECO version control. Every revision carries a change number, a reason and an approval. Effective-from and effective-to dates decide which revision a work order uses.
- Routings and operations. Sequenced per BOM, each operation tied to a work centre, a machine or a subcontractor.
- Operation dependency graphs. Model parallel paths where two operations can run at once and a third waits on both.
- Circular-BOM detection. The system refuses to let an assembly become its own component, at save time rather than at explosion time.
- Scrap and yield per line. A scrap percentage on the component line feeds the material requirement, so you issue what the job really consumes.
- Consumables and overheads. Items that are consumed but not tracked per unit still land in the cost rollup at a configurable blanket percentage.
Work order lifecycle
Released
Materials reserved against the BOM revision in force on the effective date.
In progress
Operations completed in sequence; issues post to WIP as they happen.
Completed
Finished goods received into stock at the rolled-up production cost.
Closed
Variances settled; the order is locked against further posting.
Engineering, not costing
A BOM here describes what a product is, not what it cost on one particular Tuesday. Prices are never frozen onto the BOM — cost is computed live from current rates, so an old revision never quietly quotes last year's steel price.
Module 02
Four ways to cost an operation
Because forcing a machine-hour rate onto piece-rate labour produces a number nobody on the floor believes.
Calculated hourly
Setup time plus run time per unit, multiplied by the machine or work-centre hourly rate. The classic model, for the operations where it is the honest one.
Fixed rate
A flat charge for the operation regardless of quantity or time — inspection, documentation, a one-off fixture setup.
Subcontracted
A per-unit rate paid to a job worker, excluded from your in-house overhead base so you are not absorbing overhead on work you did not perform.
Overhead that reflects reality
A configurable blanket overhead percentage applies to the in-house cost base and deliberately excludes subcontract charges. Set it per BOM, so a simple turned part and a fully-assembled skid do not carry the same burden.
Job-work challan register
Return clock| Challan & process | Job worker | Day / limit | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| JWC-1182 Hardening | Shreeji Heat Treat | 41 / 365 | On time |
| JWC-1174 Hard chrome | Anand Plating | 129 / 365 | Follow up |
| JWC-1160 Cylindrical grind | Metro Grinding | 338 / 365 | Overdue |
| JWC-1201 Stress relieve | Shreeji Heat Treat | 8 / 365 | On time |
Module 03
Job work and GST compliance
If half your process happens at someone else's premises, job work is not a side feature — it is the spine of your operation. It is treated that way here.
- Section 143 / Rule 45 fields native. Delivery challans carry the statutory fields rather than bolting them on as free-text remarks.
- The return clock starts itself. Every dispatch begins its own window against a return-by date, and the register above is what your team reviews each week. Section 143 allows one year for inputs and three for capital goods; set a tighter internal threshold if your process warrants it.
- Operations linked to subcontractors. A routing step marked subcontracted knows which vendor performs it and at what per-unit rate.
- Material sent and received reconciled. What went out, what came back, what was scrapped at the vendor — against the same challan.
- GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B. Generated from posted documents, with period locking so a filed month cannot be quietly edited afterwards.
- TDS at the payment point. Deducted when you pay, with challan tracking and the data needed for 26Q.
Module 04
Perpetual inventory
Stock does not get valued once a year. It is valued continuously, and it agrees with your ledger.
- Every movement posts a journal. Goods receipt, material issue, production output and scrap all move stock and post to the general ledger in one transaction.
- Immutable movement log. Corrections are reversing entries, not edits. You can always answer "who moved this, and when".
- Stock-vs-GL reconciliation. A standing report showing where the inventory sub-ledger and the control account disagree, and by how much.
- Batch and serial tracking. Trace a delivered assembly back to the batch of raw material it came from.
- Goods receipt against purchase orders. Three-way matching between order, receipt and vendor bill.
Module 05
Accounting built for India
A full double-entry ledger underneath, with the statutory surface an Indian manufacturer needs on top.
- Automatic posting. Sales invoices, vendor bills and production runs generate their own journal entries. No month-end re-keying.
- Chart of accounts you control, with a configurable approval framework on the documents that warrant one.
- Mid-year opening balances. Go live in November if November is when you are ready.
- Period locking. Once a GST period is filed, it is closed to back-dated posting.
- Export to Tally. Keep your CA on the tooling they know while the factory runs here.
Quality control
QA parameters defined per item with tolerance ranges, reusable test templates applied at incoming, in-process and final stages, and rejection reason codes that aggregate into yield reporting instead of dying in a remarks box.
- Inspection results recorded against the work order and the batch.
- Rejections attributed to an operation, a vendor or a material lot.
- Yield percentage per operation, visible while the job is running.
Planning & procurement
When a sales order is approved, the system works out what the order needs that you do not have, and takes the unambiguous decisions itself.
- Route-aware shortfall calculation across make-to-stock and make-to-order items.
- Work orders and purchase requests raised automatically where the answer is obvious.
- A planning desk for the genuinely ambiguous calls, with make-versus-buy analysis side by side.
This is a reactive per-order shortfall desk, not a scheduled horizon-wide MRP run. If you need classic batch MRP, say so on the call and we will tell you straight where that leaves you.
Module 07 — 09
Sales, purchase and documents
Sales cycle
Enquiries and quotations through to sales orders, delivery challans and GST tax invoices, with advance payments recorded against the order and pulled onto the final invoice.
Purchase cycle
Purchase requests, purchase orders, goods receipt notes and vendor bills, matched three ways so a bill that does not agree with what arrived is caught before it is paid.
Documents & exports
Print-ready PDFs for challans, invoices and work orders, plus Excel export on the registers your team lives in. Your data leaves the building whenever you want it to.
See it run on your parts.
Send us one real assembly before the call. We will have it built, routed and costed by the time we speak.
