GRN Workflow

GRN Workflow

Receive. Inspect. Decide. Post.

Multi-stage Goods Receipt Note workflow with inspection verification, per-line QC, usage decision capture, and stock posting. Five GRN types: Purchase, Return, Transfer, Production, Opening Stock, FG Direct.

  • Five GRN types covering every receipt scenario
  • Inspection workflow with per-parameter pass/fail
  • Usage decision: accept / conditional / rework / return
  • 3-way match (PO ↔ GRN ↔ AP Invoice)
  • Batch label generation (A6 PDF) with QR codes
  • Auto putaway with overflow bin handling
Batch Management
Batch Management

Batch Management

Every batch. Tracked. Traceable.

Comprehensive batch management with split/merge operations, QC hold/release, expiry/retest dates, paper-industry quality parameters (GSM, brightness, moisture, opacity), and customer order allocation.

  • Batch types: Purchase / Production / Adjustment / Transfer / Opening
  • Split (child batches) and merge operations
  • QC hold and release workflow
  • Manufacturing / expiry / retest date tracking
  • Paper industry parameters: GSM, brightness, moisture, opacity
  • Customer allocation with availability validation
  • FEFO suggestions with auto-block on expiry
Movement & Valuation
Movement & Valuation

Movement & Valuation

FIFO. Weighted-average. Multi-warehouse.

Real-time stock movements with FIFO/weighted-average valuation, multi-warehouse transfers with in-transit tracking, stock adjustments, and complete movement ledger with GL integration.

  • FIFO / weighted-average valuation
  • Multi-warehouse hierarchical locations
  • Stock transfer: Draft → Approved → Dispatched → Received
  • In-transit tracking with overdue/ETA alerts
  • Stock adjustment with approval + posting
  • Complete movement ledger with GL bridges
Physical Verification
Physical Verification

Physical Verification

Cycle counts. Blind mode. Barcode-driven.

Define verification scope, auto-populate from ledger, record counts in blind mode with barcode scanning, multi-round recounts for high-variance items, threshold-based flagging, and auto stock adjustment posting.

  • Scope by warehouse / location / product
  • Auto-populate from stock ledger
  • Blind count mode with barcode scanning
  • Multi-round recounts for high-variance items
  • Threshold-based variance flagging (default 5%)
  • Auto-create stock adjustments on post
Quality & Recall
Quality & Recall

Quality & Recall

NCR. Sampling. Recall management.

Quality non-conformance records, sampling plans with lot acceptance, CAPA workflow, and product recall management with affected-order traceability — critical for ISO 9001 and food-safety audits.

  • Quality NCR (non-conformance) records
  • Sampling plans with lot acceptance
  • CAPA (corrective & preventive action)
  • Recall management with stock holds
  • Lot serialization (batch-level serial numbers)
  • Consignment stock tracking

Barcode Scanning

Scan barcodes during GRN receipt or physical verification — product lookup is instant, no manual SKU entry, no transposition errors. Works with consumer-grade scanners or rugged industrial devices via the mobile app.

Drill in

Batch Split / Merge

Split a parent batch into children when partial allocation is needed, or merge compatible batches to consolidate stock. Quality status and parentage are preserved so you can trace back to the original receipt.

Drill in

QC Hold

Place any batch on quality hold to block consumption until cleared — for retest, customer complaint investigation, or supplier issue review. Allocations are auto-released; production can't accidentally pull held stock.

Drill in

FEFO Allocation

First-Expire-First-Out batch suggestions for every customer order. Expiring stock moves first; expired stock is auto-blocked. Critical for grades with shelf-life or moisture-sensitive paper.

Drill in

Multi-warehouse

Manage hierarchical warehouses, zones, and bins across plants. Inter-warehouse transfers track in-transit stock with ETA monitoring; receipts auto-update destination ledger and clear source reservation.

Drill in

Cycle Counts

Schedule physical verification by warehouse, location, or product. Blind-count mode hides expected qty from counters; multi-round recounts on high-variance items; auto-create stock adjustments on post.

Drill in

Recall Management

Trace any batch back to source materials and forward to every order it shipped on. Issue a recall, generate customer notifications, and freeze affected stock — all from one screen. ISO 22000 / food-safety audit ready.

Drill in

Stock Ledger

Every receipt, issue, transfer, and adjustment posts to an immutable ledger with timestamp, document reference, and user. Drill into any batch's complete history; reconcile against GL with one click.

Drill in

Label Generation

Auto-generate A6 batch labels with QR codes embedding batch ID, GSM, brightness, expiry. Print on labelers or thermal printers; scan at any downstream stage to look up batch and quality data instantly.

FAQ

Inventory — common questions

Reel-level traceability for paper mills?+

Yes. Every machine reel gets a unique ID with full genealogy (machine, shift, furnish, quality data) tracked through slitting, packaging, dispatch.

Multi-warehouse and multi-plant?+

Yes. Each location operates independently with consolidated views. Inter-warehouse transfers with proper tax/cost handling.

Cycle counting and physical verification?+

Yes. ABC analysis, cycle count schedules, mobile-based stock take, variance reconciliation.

FIFO vs weighted-average valuation?+

Both supported. Configurable per item or item group. Consistent with Indian GAAP and Ind AS requirements.
