ERP for Manufacturing
Costing that reflects what the shop floor actually consumed
Manufacturing ERP lives or dies on one question: what did this part actually cost to make? Most systems answer it with a monthly average that hides which product is losing money. We extend our ERP core so consumption is recorded against the work order, rejection at the operation that caused it, and job-work losses at reconciliation, so the per-unit cost is measured rather than apportioned.
The demo opens in a new tab: pick a sample company and a role, no sign-up needed.

What goes wrong in manufacturing
Costing is a monthly average
Material is issued in bulk and consumption reconciled at month end, so a part that is being sold below cost stays invisible until someone runs the numbers by hand.
Job work leaks
Material goes to an outside processor and comes back short. Without challan-level reconciliation the loss is absorbed silently, and the ITC-04 obligation goes unmet.
Rejection is recorded on paper
Rework happens at the station and never reaches costing, so scrap cost is understated and the responsible operation is never identified.
Planning runs on a whiteboard
Requirement planning that ignores open POs and current stock produces either shortages or overbuying, usually both in the same month.
What manufacturing businesses need from an ERP
Some of these are already in the Orus ERP; others are configured or built for your plant. The feature catalogue shows the current status of every feature, and we confirm the rest on a demo call.
Multi-level BOM with effectivity dating
Versioned bills of materials so a design change does not corrupt the costing of orders already produced under the previous revision.
Work order routing by operation
Progress tracked at each operation rather than only at completion, with machine and shift capacity respected during scheduling.
Job-work challans under Rule 45
Material sent outside tracked against the 180-day return window, with ITC-04 data generated and unreturned quantities flagged before they become a compliance problem.
Actual versus standard consumption
Variance per work order rather than per month, so the part responsible for a cost overrun is identifiable.
Rejection and rework capture
Recorded at the operation that produced it, feeding both scrap costing and supplier or process quality reporting.
Shop-floor terminals
Kiosk or tablet capture with barcode job cards, designed for gloved hands and a few seconds per interaction.

Rules your setup has to handle
The statutory requirements we plan for when scoping a manufacturing build. Ask us which are covered by the core today and which are built for you.
We speak your language
Terms we work with when scoping your build.
- BOM effectivity
- The date range a bill of materials revision applies to, so historical costs stay tied to the revision actually used.
- Phantom assembly
- A sub-assembly that exists in the BOM structure but is never stocked — consumed straight into the parent.
- ITC-04
- The quarterly GST return declaring goods sent to and received from job workers.
- Standard vs actual costing
- The planned cost against what was really consumed; the gap is where margin is lost.
Who this is for
- Discrete manufacturers in engineering, fabrication and assembly
- Units sending meaningful volume to outside job workers
- Plants quoting from estimated rather than measured cost
- Manufacturers running Tally for accounts and spreadsheets for production
Questions from manufacturing buyers
Can it handle job work sent to multiple processors in sequence?
Yes, as part of your industry build. Material can move from one job worker to the next without returning to your premises, with challans tracked across the chain and the 180-day clock running from the original dispatch. This is common in plating and heat-treatment chains and is where most systems lose track.
Do we need to replace Tally?
No. Many manufacturers keep Tally for accounts. A Tally integration is built per client rather than shipped as standard, so tell us how you use Tally and we will scope it before quoting.
What is ready today and what is built?
Inventory, sales billing and purchase are ready and shown on a demo. Production modules such as BOM, work orders and costing are built for your plant during implementation, and we scope them with you before quoting.
