ERP can connect BOM information with production planning.
A manufacturing ERP can manage:
Example:
PRODUCTION ORDER
Product:
Biscuit Pack
Planned:
10,000 packs
Produced:
9,800 packs
Rejected:
100 packs
Accepted:
9,700 packs
The exact production workflow depends on the manufacturer's process.
Batch management is extremely useful for FMCG businesses.
ERP can maintain:
Batch tracking can help businesses identify which inventory was received, stored or dispatched.
FMCG products may have limited shelf life.
ERP can identify:
Some FMCG ERP platforms support FEFO workflows and near-expiry alerts.
FEFO = FIRST EXPIRED, FIRST OUT
Example:
| Batch | Expiry | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| B001 | Jan 2027 | 500 |
| B002 | Mar 2027 | 800 |
| B003 | Jun 2027 | 1,000 |
Where appropriate, the earlier-expiring eligible stock can be prioritized for dispatch.
This can help reduce avoidable expiry-related inventory risk.
Finished goods can be tracked by:
Example:
PRODUCT
Biscuit 100g
BATCH
B1025
EXPIRY
