Connect three once-siloed departments — procurement, inventory and production — through a single dataset. BOMs automatically compute MRP net requirements to drive purchasing, shop-floor and central warehouses share inventory, and production inbound / picking / returns deduct stock automatically — eliminating book-physical discrepancies at the source.
Full-chain inventory linkage from purchase inbound to production picking to finished-goods outbound
MES MRP net requirements auto-generate inventory purchase suggestions; aggregated by supplier, buyers convert them to purchase orders with one click.
Inventory purchase inbound is instantly written back to MES stock, refreshing kitting validation immediately.
Central / shop-floor / line-side warehouses share one dataset, with cross-warehouse transfers synced in real time.
MES shop-floor picking deducts central-warehouse stock; surplus returns flow back to the central warehouse, with books synced.
When an MES work order closes, a finished-goods inbound note is auto-generated to inventory, bound by SN and batch.
Purchase unit price + actual labor hours → work-order cost calculated automatically → posted directly by finance.
CRM sales order → MES work order → BOM explosion → MRP computes net requirements → inventory generates purchase suggestions → buyer selects suppliers and compares prices → one-click conversion to purchase orders. The whole chain is automated, freeing PMC from calculating materials in Excel.
Urgent fast track · ~30 min end to end
The shop floor finds work order A is short of a raw material that normal procurement can't deliver in time. In MES, PMC sees the central warehouse still has 50 and another workshop is using 30 → initiates a cross-warehouse transfer in one click → the inventory transfer note is approved → warehouse staff ship → the shop floor receives the material and goes live. The whole process takes 30 minutes.
Outbound pushes "shipped" to CRM
MES work order closes → auto-generates an inventory finished-goods inbound note → stock + batch + SN are written automatically → inventory generates an outbound note per the sales order → warehouse scans out → a logistics waybill is generated → the customer sees "shipped" in CRM.
MRP for 200+ materials per work order directly generates purchase suggestions, raising buyer efficiency 5×.
OEM daily orders → MES MRP → inventory purchase orders → supplier delivers same day.
Work-order completion auto-inbounds with batch and shelf life; outbound picks automatically by FEFO.
Project-dimension inventory tracking — each project exclusively holds its materials without mixing, with cost aggregated to the project.
