The barcode printed on a bought-in pack is the manufacturer's number (its GTIN), not ours. Map it to one of your items once and everyone can scan the packaging itself from then on. You can also just scan an unknown pack in the scan box at the top — the app will offer to map it there and then. Pack quantity is how much of your unit one scan means: a case of 12 one-kilo bags is 12.

Planning raises a demand note when MRP shows a shortfall. The store approves it, and the purchase order is created automatically — grouped by the best vendor for each material — ready for the purchase team to approve and send.

Open production demand that stock cannot cover. Raise a purchase order straight from the line.

Deliveries recorded without a purchase order — samples, free replacements, local purchases. Everything is still lot-traceable; only the PO link is missing.

Raw material demanded by planned batches. Issue what the floor needs — stock moves out FIFO, booked to the batch.

How full is each store? Every item has a storage capacity (500 by default — edit it on the item) and every rack a capacity of 100 kg. Green = healthy, amber = filling up, red = below minimum or over capacity.

Stock lives in stores. Receipts go to the store you pick on the GRN; move stock between stores here. Per-store balances: Reports → Stock by Location.

Physical count found a difference? File a request — an administrator reviews and approves it before stock changes.

Register your Zebra, TSC or Honeywell label printers here and labels go straight to them — the printer draws the barcode and QR code itself, at full printhead sharpness. Give a network printer its IP address (port 9100 on almost every model). Leave the address blank for a USB printer and the app gives you a label file to send instead. Honeywell printers usually run in ZPL emulation, so choose Zebra (ZPL) for them.

Planned hours come from each plan's routing (setup once per batch + run time × batches) on its start date, or from its BOM hours if the recipe has no routing yet. Red rows are overloaded — move a start date or add hours. A day can fit inside the plant total and still be impossible on one machine, so any overloaded work centre is named on its row.

The machines and manned stations a batch passes through. Give each one its own working hours — and how many identical units you have — and capacity is planned per machine instead of one plant-wide pool of hours. Add the operations to a product's Bill of Materials to build its route.

Filling and packing machines already know how much they made and whether they were running. Reading it from the PLC beats copying it off a display. OEE is the standard measure: availability (of the time you planned to run, how much it ran) × performance (while running, how close to nameplate speed) × quality (how much was good). A blank factor means an input is missing — it is never guessed.

Invoices are generated from sales orders — use the Invoice action on a confirmed or dispatched order in Sales.

An invoice is never edited once it has gone out. When something turns out to be wrong you issue a separate note that reduces the amount: a credit note reduces what a customer owes you (goods returned, short delivery, a price correction); a debit note reduces what you owe a vendor (material that failed QC, a short receipt, an overcharge). Both are netted off the balances and the aging reports automatically.

Material rejected at goods-in is money already spent on goods you cannot use. Raise the debit note and the amount comes off what you owe that vendor.

These details print on every tax invoice and delivery challan. GSTIN decides whether tax is shown as CGST+SGST (same state) or IGST (other state).

Every N days each schedule turns into a preventive work order automatically when you press Generate (schedules due within the next 7 days are picked up).
