Acumatica Manufacturing Edition is an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform that’s built for manufacturers. Acumatica designed the platform to flex with all types of manufacturing processes, instead of forcing manufacturers to change them. It includes all the critical core features manufacturing companies need from day one, with no expensive third-party add-ons required. Here’s what to know.
Bill of Materials (BOM) and Routing
At the heart of any manufacturing ERP is a solid BOM and routing engine, and Acumatica delivers.
- Create and manage multi-level BOMs with ease
- Define routing steps for each operation
- Include tools, materials, overhead, and labor in cost calculations
- Tie routing directly to production orders for traceability and efficiency
This gives you precision in both costing and scheduling, helping you reduce waste and increase margins.
Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
Running out of raw materials — or worse, overstocking — can crush production momentum. Acumatica’s MRP engine:
- Automatically calculates what materials are needed and when
- Suggests purchase orders, transfer orders, and production orders
- Aligns supply with demand in real time based on sales orders, forecasts, and current inventory
That means fewer stockouts, leaner inventory levels, and less capital tied up in raw materials.
Production Management in Acumatica Manufacturing Edition
Acumatica makes it easy to manage the full production lifecycle, from job creation to completion. Key features include:
- Work order tracking and scheduling
- Labor and machine time tracking
- Production cost roll-ups
- Real-time updates on job progress and status
With everything centralized, you gain full visibility into where each job stands — and where it’s headed.
Acumatica Manufacturing Edition Product Configurator
For manufacturers that build custom or configurable products, Acumatica’s Product Configurator is a game-changer.
- Create rules-based configuration templates to simplify quoting and production
- Allow sales teams to build valid product combinations on the fly
- Automatically generate BOMs and routings from configuration selections
This bridges the gap between sales and production, reducing errors and shortening lead times, even on complex builds.
Inventory and Warehouse Management
Tight control over materials and inventory is non-negotiable in manufacturing. Acumatica gives you:
- Real-time inventory tracking across multiple warehouses and locations
- Lot and serial number tracking for full traceability
- Automated reorder points and safety stock alerts
- Integrated barcode scanning for efficient receiving, picking, and shipping
This means fewer costly mistakes, better order accuracy, and faster inventory turns.
