As raised in many issues partially dating back several years, a proper implementation of process manufacturing would be amazing! This issue has been raised repeatedly over many years and is needed by several users

I just want to use ERPNext for Leather Tannery business but the software system … is built for discrete manufacturing with BoM. In leather tanning process, you start with the by purchasing and storing raw leather from supplier with grading system and size. After that, the raw material will be feed to several machines by adding various chemicals to the leather. I know there should be formula based BoM when dealing with chemicals but the tricky part is feeding multiple leathers in one drum for a day or more and then again operators will deal with individual items. The process is converting a raw hides and skins into finished leather by adding different chemicals and manual works.
For further understanding, you can look this great project: http://leatherlink.net/bsg/tms_commercial/help_manual/LeatherLink_TMS_User_Manual.php?app_name=TMS. I don't know it works for real since they stopped developing after 2010 but they implemented the process in a very convincing way.
Thanks.
Hi all,
We have developed process manufacturing for a plywood manufacturer and has gone through the process of acceptance.
Unlike discrete manufacturing which is based on Item BoMs, sub assemblies etc., Process Manufacturing would require ability to configure the manufacturing process as the input / output items and their quantity are not known before the process starts.
Basically, this feature will allow you bring in multiple Items as input to a Process Order and produce multiple Items. The …
I have been scouring the forums looking for haw to handle “Scrap” that is the result of a Production Order. There are many threads and NONE that seem to have the answer.
One post even listed the links to 3 other threads (all of which end with no answer)
Let me give you an example:
we buy a product “Peanut Butter” in 10 liter canister as our raw material Item Code: PB0010
we buy 0.5 liter jars (to make smaller containers of Peanut Butter) Item Code: PL0132
we buy lids for the jars Item code: …
I just want to use ERPNext for process manufacturing business which require Formula instead of BoM since the input/output is not known at each workstation. Most businesses are process based and I don’t understand why all of the open source ERP system chooses discrete over process. If process manufacturing feature is incorporated into this great system, it will be a big win in the competition. inoERP has done it but they stopped developing the software since then. In real business, continuous qua…
HI Community,
We have a manufacturing process where raw materials are fixed inputted based on daily plan, but output can be variable. In such a case, BOM and WorkOrder are not possible to make. Because we just take raw material and manufacture goods, which can be variable in quantity. So - how to make entries so that we can map workstation and members as well. If we just do stock entry we wont be able to create a job card.
Please help!!
According to wikipedia , process manufacturing is used in many different sectors including food, beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmeceutical, textiles, consumer packaged goods, cannabis biotechnology industries, semiconductor fabrication, steel & aluminum, aircraft & spacecraft (and I believe this list isn’t exhaustive). To me it seems to be a fairly basic feature (in terms of what an ERP system should be able to handle) that should have been included in ERPnext already a few years ago.
