What it does for you

A system for your factory starting from multi-level bills of materials, turning customer sales into production plans and work orders, issuing raw materials from inventory, receiving finished goods, and calculating true production costs. Because it runs on the same inventory and accounting core, you anticipate material shortages before they happen and know the exact unit cost of every finished item.

It is a module of Asas by FoundationCX.
