- Grinding and packing units
Grinding and packing units
Grinding and packing units buy materials such as clinker, gypsum, fly ash and bags, convert them into packed cement and dispatch it on their own trucks or through carriers. The work that matters to the ERP is what was bought and accepted, what was issued to each work order, how many bags came out and how many were scrapped. Mill operation and laboratory testing stay in the plant's own systems.
How Cement ERP is set up for you
Purchases accepted in tranches
A truck of material can be partly accepted and partly rejected, and the supplier bill is matched only to the accepted quantity.
Packing on work orders
Each work order uses an active bill of materials and routing, with planned scrap for torn bags, and records good quantity, scrap and labour hours.
Variance that can be explained
Completed output posts at standard cost, and a work order closes with variance only after the Finance Manager approves it.
Lots and freshness
Lot numbers on stock and expiry allocations on order lines help dispatch older packed stock first.

Start with the main purchased materials, one packed product with its bill of materials and routing, and current cost standards. Run a cycle of purchase orders, receipts, packing work orders and dispatches, including a rejected receipt portion and a work order closed with scrap. Reconcile stock, goods received not invoiced and work in progress before adding more products.
