Manufacturing & Production
ERP software built for manufacturing.
A generic manufacturer that converts purchased raw materials and components into finished goods for sale, using a Bill of Materials (BOM) and discrete production orders run through one or more work centers.
How it works
The business model
Revenue streams: Sale of finished/semi-finished goods, made-to-stock or made-to-order; occasionally subcontract/toll manufacturing (processing a customer's own materials for a fee). Customer types: B2B wholesale buyers, distributors, retailers, occasionally direct B2C for niche/artisan manufacturers. Supply chain: Raw material and component suppliers, subject to lead time and price volatility; a manufacturer's purchasing cadence is driven by production schedule, not shelf reorder points alone.

What Muhasib handles
The situations that break generic software are designed in from day one.
Production order material shortage: MRP or manual release detects insufficient raw material -> Production Order held in "Planned" with a shortage flag rather than silently released; Production Manager can partially relea…
Quality-check failure / rework: Quality Inspector fails a step -> Production Order branches to a Rework loop (re-enter the failed Routing step or an added rework step) rather than auto-closing; failed/scrapped output is…
Multi-level BOM component itself out of stock: MRP must explode nested BOMs and net shortages at every level, not just the top-level item — flagged as an implementation-critical MRP correctness requirement.
Partial output / short production run: Production Order completed at less than planned quantity (machine breakdown, material ran out mid-run) -> Production Order can be Closed at actual quantity with a variance reason, r…
Engineering change to a BOM mid-production: an in-progress Production Order continues on the BOM version it was released against; new Production Orders pick up the new version — versioned BOMs prevent silent retroactive…
Costing variance (actual material/labour cost differs from standard): variance posted to a Cost Variance account rather than silently absorbed into finished-goods unit cost, so COGS stays accurate for units already sold.
