Frequently asked questions.

Top questions about materials management ERP — answered for manufacturers in India.

What do materials and stores teams do in FOS?

Stores teams run GRN, picking, issues, transfers, and cycle counts with reservations tied to production. MRP-driven indents reduce emergency purchases and line stoppages.

How does FOS prevent wrong material issues to jobs?

Pick lists show order, item, batch, and reserved quantity. Scanning validates component before issue posts to the correct work order.

Can stores see what is needed for today’s production?

Daily pick requirements by work centre or order help stores stage material before shift start. Short picks flag planners immediately.

How does cycle counting work without full shutdown?

ABC cycle count schedules target locations or item classes rolling through the month. Approved variances adjust stock with audit history.

What ageing and slow mover reports help materials managers?

Stock ageing, excess, and slow mover reports highlight working capital to liquidate or consume. Joint review with purchase adjusts min-max and MRP parameters.

Does FOS support multiple warehouses and bin locations?

Multi-warehouse and bin structure organises large stores. Transfers between plants update in-transit and receiving status clearly.

How are batch and heat numbers tracked at GRN?

Mandatory batch capture on receipt ties material to downstream production and customer traceability — critical for steel and auto sectors.

Can stores raise indent when stock is low?

Manual or system-generated indents flow to purchase with approval rules. Stores is not stuck waiting for planners to notice shortages.

How does FOS reduce month-end stock surprises?

Perpetual inventory from transactions means book stock matches physical when discipline is maintained. Cycle count programs catch drift early.

Is barcode hardware required for go-live?

Not mandatory — many plants start keyboard entry then add scanning. Screens are barcode-ready when you deploy printers and scanners.
