Answer

What is manufacturing inventory management?

Manufacturing inventory management controls raw material, WIP, and finished goods across warehouses and batches so planners and stores share live quantities, reservations, and valuation. FOS Inventory posts from GRN, production issue, quality release, and dispatch — connecting Purchase, Production, and Accounts without separate stock books.

Why teams switch

Stock on paper — never on the shelf.

Store & Inventory isn't another count sheet. It's bin-level stock, batch traceability and valuation that finance can trust — updated with every movement.

Walk through the product
  1. 01
    “We thought we had it in stock.”

    Production stops because the system says yes — but the shelf says no.

  2. 02
    Physical counts that never match

    Cycle counts close the gap temporarily — then drift returns before the next audit.

  3. 03
    Valuation finance cannot trust

    Stock value and COGS lag reality — so month-end becomes a reconciliation exercise.

  4. 04
    Batches and expiry on a whiteboard

    Batch, serial and shelf-life tracked outside the system — until a recall or write-off forces the issue.

Receipts and issues flow into Production & Accounts

MRP reserves live stock. Purchase GRNs update balances. Issues hit the shop floor — no re-keying between modules.

We used to shut welding down twice a month because “the system said we had it.” Now every receipt and issue hits the bin in real time — and finance trusts the valuation because it moves with every transaction.

Frequently asked questions.

Top questions about manufacturing inventory management software — answered for manufacturers in India.

What inventory capabilities does FOS provide?

FOS inventory manages multi-warehouse stock, GRN, issues, transfers, reservations, and cycle counts with real-time valuation. Every movement ties to source documents — PO, work order, or dispatch — for full traceability.

Does FOS support batch, serial, and heat numbers?

Yes. Attribute tracking on receipts and issues supports batch, heat, and serial genealogy required in steel, auto, and fabrication industries. FEFO and pick rules can prefer oldest stock first.

How does reservation work for production orders?

MRP and work order release can reserve stock against specific orders. Stores see allocated vs free stock when picking, reducing accidental consumption by other jobs.

Can we run cycle counts without shutting down?

Cycle count programs target ABC classes or locations while operations continue elsewhere. Variances post adjustment entries after approval with audit trails.

What valuation methods are supported?

Weighted average and standard cost approaches align with Indian manufacturing practice. Finance receives automatic inventory and COGS postings from operational transactions.

How do inter-warehouse transfers work?

Transfer orders move stock between plants or stores with in-transit status if needed. Receiving location confirms quantities to update both sides accurately.

Does FOS handle min-max and reorder planning?

Min-max and reorder point policies supplement MRP for fasteners, consumables, and trading items. Exception reports highlight items below safety levels.

Can stores use barcodes or QR codes?

Barcode-ready screens speed GRN, picking, and bin transfers. Implementation can align label formats with your existing printer and scanning hardware.

What stock ageing and slow mover reports exist?

Ageing by receipt date, slow mover, and excess stock reports help materials teams reduce working capital. Planners combine these with MRP to avoid over-ordering.

How is negative stock prevented?

Configurable controls block issues that would drive negative on-hand unless explicitly allowed for specific items. This enforces discipline after go-live when teams adapt to system-led transactions.
