Inventory Management
Live stock across multiple warehouses with batch and lot tracking, automatic reorder level alerts, and inter-warehouse transfer vouchers. Always know exactly what is in stock, where, and at what cost.
Manufacturing & Production
BOM builder with multi-level sub-assemblies, work order creation, production entries, scrap and by-product tracking, and job work (subcontracting) - raw material and finished goods stock update automatically with every production run.
Finance & Accounting
Full double-entry ledger, chart of accounts, cost centre allocation, bank account management with reconciliation, and one-click P&L and Balance Sheet - accounts that reflect the real state of your factory floor, not just paperwork.

Manufacturing Module
The Manufacturing Module Tally Doesn't Have
Tally and Busy handle your accounts well - but the moment a Sales Order triggers a production run, they go silent. Shikhar ERP picks up exactly where accounting software stops: define your Bill of Materials, raise a Work Order, record each Production Entry with actual material and labour costs, and watch finished goods land in your warehouse automatically. Every scrap, every rework, every job-work challan - tracked and costed in real time, 100% offline.
Multi-level Bill of Materials with Sub-assemblies
Define finished goods, intermediate assemblies, and raw material components in a single BOM tree. Sub-assemblies can have their own BOMs, allowing you to model complex products with nested production stages - all the way down to individual raw materials.
Work Order Creation from Sales Orders or Manual
Convert a confirmed Sales Order into a Work Order in one click, or raise manual Work Orders for stock production. Each Work Order carries the BOM, planned quantities, due date, and assigned machine or work centre - giving production managers full visibility before the floor starts working.
Production Entry with Actual vs Standard Cost Tracking
Record what was actually consumed - material quantities, labour hours, overhead allocation - against the standard BOM costs. Variance reports highlight where production is going over budget, enabling precise cost control without a separate costing spreadsheet.
Job Work (Subcontracting) - Send Out, Receive Back
Issue raw materials or semi-finished goods to a job worker with a proper challan, track what is outstanding at the vendor's site, and receive finished or processed goods back into your warehouse. Stock, cost, and vendor liability are maintained accurately throughout the entire subcontracting cycle.

Yes. Shikhar ERP has a full multi-level Bill of Materials builder - you can define sub-assemblies nested inside finished-good BOMs, with raw material components at every level. Work Orders can be created directly from Sales Orders or raised manually for stock production. The system records actual material consumption against the standard BOM and generates variance reports, so you always know your true production cost.
Yes. Shikhar ERP includes a complete job work module for subcontracting. You can issue raw materials or semi-finished goods out to a job worker with a proper material challan, monitor what is pending at each vendor's site, and receive finished or processed goods back into your warehouse. Stock levels, costing, and vendor liability are all updated accurately throughout the subcontracting cycle - something neither Tally nor most basic ERPs support.
Shikhar ERP is designed for multi-user teams with role-based access control. You can create individual accounts for each team member and assign specific module-level permissions - for example, your storekeeper can access Inventory and Purchase GRN but not Finance or GST reports. The number of concurrent users is based on your subscription plan. Contact NLIVTECH for details on user licensing for your team size.
Yes. You can define multiple warehouses or storage locations - for example, Raw Material Store, Finished Goods Store, and Dispatch Bay - and Shikhar ERP tracks stock balances independently in each. Inter-warehouse transfer vouchers move stock with a full audit trail. Reorder alert thresholds can be set per item per warehouse, so your store team knows exactly when to replenish without manually checking stock registers.
Yes. Shikhar ERP is purpose-built for discrete manufacturing - the production of countable, distinct items such as auto parts, hydraulic cylinders, metal fabricated components, plastic moulded parts, and electronics assemblies. The BOM-to-Work-Order-to-Production-Entry workflow maps directly to how discrete manufacturers operate. Businesses in batch process manufacturing - paints, chemicals, FMCG - also benefit from the multi-level BOM and production cost tracking, though the primary design focus is discrete production.
