ERP Requirement Checklist for Manufacturing

Company structure

How many plants, branches, warehouses and offices need ERP access? Which departments should be included in phase one? Do different locations follow different approval rules?

Notes

Users and roles

Which user roles need separate permissions? Who can approve purchase, production, dispatch and billing actions? Do owners or managers need read-only dashboards?

Notes

Purchase and inward

How are purchase requirements raised today? Does material inward need quality or quantity verification? Can purchase orders be partially received?

Notes

Raw material and BOM

Do finished products have a bill of materials? Can raw material consumption vary from planned quantity? Do alternate materials need to be allowed?

Notes

Production stages

How many production stages exist? Can material move between stages? Do you track semi-finished goods and rejected material?

Notes

Quality and packing

Does QA happen before, during or after production? Can rejected material return to stock? Do packing sizes create multiple SKUs?

Notes

Warehouse and dispatch

How many stock locations exist? Do orders need verification before dispatch? Should dispatch, invoice and payment status be linked?

Notes

Reporting and integrations

Which reports does management need every week? Do you need accounting, barcode, QR, weighing, email or WhatsApp integration? What old data must be migrated?

Notes

Why this has information gain

The checklist reflects ERP discovery questions Arth Technology would ask before deciding modules, permissions, reports, integrations and migration scope. It helps buyers discover workflow complexity before a quote conversation.

Useful next step

After selecting requirements, discuss the workflow with an implementation team and confirm phase-one modules, data readiness and integration feasibility.

Review ERP requirements

See a real manufacturing workflow

For a related implementation, review how purchasing, inward material, raw material, production, packing, orders, dispatch, billing and payment were represented in one workflow.
