Connect Raw Materials, Production and Sales in One ERP.
Production draws raw materials from the stock you already manage in AYBN ERP at their recorded cost, adds finished goods back for sale, and posts work in progress to the books.
AYBN ERP — From Lead to Ledger, Everything Connected.
- PurchaseRaw materials in, with cost
- Bill of materialsWhat goes into each product
- ProductionMaterials issued, WIP tracked
- Finished goodsInto stock, ready to sell
- Sales and deliveryFrom the same stock
Where small manufacturers lose track of material and cost.
When production is tracked in a notebook, the ERP knows what you bought and what you sold, but not what happened in between.
Material planning by hand
Nobody can say whether there is enough raw material for the next customer order.
Consumption not recorded
Raw material leaves the store for the shop floor without a document, so stock drifts.
Finished goods counted separately
Output is counted on the floor and keyed into stock later, if at all.
Unknown production cost
Material, labour and overheads are not added up per batch of output.
Orders promised without capacity
Sales commits to dates without knowing what production can deliver.
How production connects your purchasing and your sales.
Purchasing, raw material stock, production, finished goods, sales orders, deliveries, invoices and payments run in one connected AYBN ERP.

Purchase and raw material
Supplier bills bring raw materials into the store you choose, with batch and cost, today.
Purchase Invoicing module pageInventory
Raw material stock by store and batch, units and conversions, and minimum levels, today.
Inventory module pageBill of materials and production order
Approved, versioned bills of materials and routes, and production orders that are approved and released before material moves.
Manufacturing module pageProduction
Materials are issued at their recorded cost, consumption and output are recorded by stage, and work in progress posts to the books. Material without a cost is refused until its cost is approved and posted.
Manufacturing module pageFinished goods into stock
Finished goods are received into stock at their production cost, with batch numbers, ready to sell.
Manufacturing module pageSales order, delivery, invoice and payment
Orders, partial deliveries, GST invoices and payments are live today.
Sales Orders module page
Entered once: Production uses the same items, stores and batches as your purchasing and sales, and posts to the same books, so material used, finished goods and supplier costs stay in step without a separate production register.
What AYBN ERP does for a manufacturer.
Production runs on the same purchasing, stock, sales and accounts. Labour and overhead costing and demand planning are upcoming.
Raw material purchasing
Problem: Raw material cost is not known per batch.
Purchase invoices add stock by store and batch, with cost per unit.
Learn more about Purchase InvoicingUnits and conversions
Problem: Materials are bought in one unit and used in another.
Buy in one unit and use or sell in another; stock stays in the item’s base unit, and each document keeps its own conversion.
Learn more about InventorySales orders and deliveries
Problem: Customer orders and dispatches are tracked apart.
Orders with partial deliveries, and invoices built from the challans.
Learn more about Sales OrdersBills of materials
Problem: What goes into each product is known only to the supervisor.
Versioned bills of materials with components and quantities, approved before production uses them.
Learn more about ManufacturingProduction orders and material issue

Approved production orders, with materials issued and returned at their recorded cost.

What AYBN ERP means for manufacturers
No zero-cost production
Material without a recorded cost cannot be issued until its cost is approved and posted.
Stock that matches the floor
Material issues and finished goods receipts move stock as production happens.
Traceable material cost
Finished goods value traces back to the receipts, corrections and supplier invoices behind it.
Sales that know what is ready
Finished goods are in stock for orders, challans and invoices.
One set of books
Work in progress posts to the same accounts as purchases and sales.
