Large Machine manufacturing companies faces major issues with managing inventory as the Raw materials (RM) are issued to production department, as the large machine components are getting ready and being assembled. This process may take from 15 days to 180 days. Due to this reason, the stocks are mismatched and they struggle with actual stock inventory. Because the traditional ERP will not control this as the RM are consumed when a machine is reported.

Demand notes module helps to block the materials as the Raw Materials issued and these are tracked against the WO and its Operations. As the materials are issued at different stages, the Costs, Labor costs are tracked to finished goods level.
