Cement manufacturers with dealer networks
A cement manufacturer usually sells most of its volume through dealers who buy on credit, in bags and in bulk, from more than one plant or depot. The commercial team needs to know each dealer's exposure before accepting another order, and dispatch needs to know which stock is free and which truck is going where. Finance needs invoices that match what the dealer actually received. Plant operations and the kiln run in their own systems; this app picks up from finished and packed stock.
How Cement ERP is set up for you
Dealer credit before acceptance
Each order carries a credit review against the dealer's limit, and an exception goes to the Finance Manager before the Sales Manager accepts it.
Several plants and depots
Warehouses hold stock with locations, lots and custody state, and transfers between a plant and a depot keep in-transit stock owned and costed until it is received.
Separate legal entities
Each company in the group keeps its own books, bank accounts, periods and stock ownership, even when a depot holds stock for more than one of them.
Dealer schemes and promotions
Discount exceptions on quotes need the Sales Manager's approval, and trade promotion records hold the item, discount percentage and dates.

Start with one entity, one plant warehouse and one depot, the active price list and a group of dealers with their credit limits and open balances. Run a normal week of quotes, orders, routes and deliveries, including a refused stop and a credit exception. Reconcile dealer balances, stock positions and invoiced quantity with your current records before adding further depots or entities.
