A practical ERP guide for manufacturers
Manufacturing primitives without enterprise pricing.
BOM. MRP. Work orders. Quality. Free.
What you get
Manufacturing
BOM (multi-level), work orders, MRP, shop floor
Advanced Manufacturing
Tools, ECOs (engineering change orders), routings
Inventory
Multi-warehouse, raw materials, WIP, finished goods
Quality
Inspection templates, NCRs (non-conformance reports) with corrective and preventive actions
Selling / Buying
Sales orders, purchase orders, three-way matching
Accounting + GL
Work order costs through WIP, moving-average or FIFO valuation
Reports
OEE, quality dashboard, project profitability for job work
Why Manufacturer teams switch
Multi-level BOMs
Your finished good has sub-assemblies. Sub-assemblies have parts. Parts have alternate suppliers. ERPClaw handles all of it.
MRP without ERP overhead
Material requirements planning historically meant paying for SAP. ERPClaw computes net requirements free.
Quality + accounting linkage
When a NCR scraps $500 of WIP, the GL needs an immediate hit. ERPClaw posts work order material moves and completions through WIP as they happen, and the scrap itself posts when you record it as a stock issue.
Engineering change orders
Bumping a part revision means cascading the change to BOMs, work orders, and inventory. ERPClaw records each ECO with the affected items and BOMs and moves it through review, approval, and implementation.
Real scenarios
Small electronics shop
10 SKUs, 4 sub-assemblies, 5-person team. ERPClaw replaces $2K/mo of mid-market manufacturing software.
Job shop
Custom one-off builds, project-based costing, no two work orders alike. Project + manufacturing modules combined.
Make-to-stock with assembly
Standard products built to forecast. MRP plus production plans and work order costing.
