Our Solutions for the Client
This module was customized to enable efficient "Grey Inward" material tracking, division of materials into different processes, and seamless tracking throughout the procurement journey. The system also facilitated streamlined management of return entries.
The ERPNext Sales module was enhanced to include a robust "Bale and Lot" number management system. This feature allowed for improved packaging and dispatching of products in line with textile industry standards.
Customizations within the Inventory module introduced "Lot Master" and "Bale Master" functionalities, providing Jagdamba Textile with better control over inventory management aligned with their purchase, sales and dispatch of the orders.
A key component of the ERPNext implementation project was the development of customized reports. These included Grey Inward Register, Lot Registers, Bale Register, Invoice Register, Stock Reports, Grey Purchase Register, and Raw Materials Purchase. These reports streamlined operations and improved decision-making by providing accurate, real-time data.
