BusinessSensor Manufacturing ERP

Manufacturing ERP that tells you what a unit actually costs

Bills of material, work orders and production output feeding a real cost ledger — so the margin on the invoice reflects the materials, not an estimate.

What Manufacturing ERP covers

Everything below is in the shipped product. Nothing here is a roadmap item.

Bills of material

Multi-level BOMs with component quantities and wastage, so a finished item knows what it consumes.

Work orders

Raise, issue materials to, and complete production orders, with stock moving out of raw materials and into finished goods.

Production scheduling

Plan work against capacity and see what is in progress, queued and completed.

Product costing

Cost built from the materials actually issued plus applied overhead, posted to the ledger rather than kept in a side calculation.

Inventory & warehousing

Raw material, work-in-progress and finished-goods stock with full movement history.

Quality control

Record inspection outcomes against production output before stock is released for sale.

Sales & distribution

Sell finished goods through the same order-to-invoice flow used by DMS ERP.

Accounting & reporting

Double-entry accounting with manufacturing cost, gross margin and full financial statements.

Manufacturing ERP questions

Does it support multi-level bills of material?

Yes. A finished item can be built from sub-assemblies that have their own bills of material, and cost rolls up through the levels.

How is product cost calculated?

From the materials actually issued to the work order, plus applied overhead. Because it posts to the ledger, the cost of goods sold on a sale reflects what production really consumed.

Can I run manufacturing and distribution together?

Yes. Manufacturing ERP includes the sales, inventory and accounting chassis, so goods you make flow into the same order-to-invoice process used for goods you buy.
