OpenMFG ERP Suite
OpenMFG brings the power of next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) software applications to small and mid-sized manufacturers who need:
* Visibility across operations. Now you can know your inventory levels, outstanding orders, cash balance, collections of receivables...in one application, all at the same time. Make decisions with facts, not guesswork.
* Control. With all the information about your operations in one easy-to-use system, you have increased control over your operations. Fire-fighting and reactive measures give way to proactive planning and resource balancing.
* Cash flow management. Real-time control and enhanced visibility across the operations mean that cash management is simplified and accelerated.
OpenMFG is built with license-free, open source software components like the Linux operating system, the PostgreSQL database, the Qt application framework, and our own OpenRPT report writer. What does that mean for you? Lower costs, and more control over your technology investment.
Plus, you get the source code to the OpenMFG application itself - and under an innovative hybrid license that's got the technology world buzzing, OpenMFG customers and partners are part of a growing worldwide community of users that are constantly enhancing the product.

Our mission has always been to bring the benefits of a full ERP solution to manufacturers and distributors of all shapes and sizes. One way we do that is by leveraging open source software to make a more affordable, flexible, and powerful product.
Another way we do that is to publish our pricing - and now, it's easier than ever to get started with OpenMFG. For as little as $500 per month, for five unrestricted users of the system.
We offer a choice between a traditional perpetual license and an annual site license (more like a subscription). For either option, there is a minimum purchase of 5 concurrent users.

Additional Product Information
Execution Modules
OpenMFG has some of the most powerful Inventory Management features in its class. Each Item has a corresponding Item Site which determines order parameters, ABC class, lead time, and where and how the Item is located in various Warehouses. The system is fully multi-warehouse, and supports multiple Locations inside Warehouses - including the ability to define whether a Location is Netable for purposes of valuing Inventory, and the ability to define Quarantined or other Restrictive Locations. You can even define Warehouse Zones and Aisle/Rack/Bin/Location controls. During a Physical Inventory Count, you can freeze inventory quantities to minimize the impact on ongoing production. And of course, you have full lot and serial control, with detailed inventory transaction history.
The Shipping & Receiving module supports multiple carriers, user-customized forms and reports, and is fully integrated with Production, Inventory, Sales, Purchasing, and Financials. OpenMFG supports all leading barcode formats, including Code 3 of 9, Code 128, UPC, and EAN, and supports both tethered and wireless barcode reader solutions.
The Work Order module is the heart of OpenMFG’s manufacturing execution, and controls all orders, operations, and work centers on the shop floor. There are several stages of Work Orders, including Open, Exploded (materials requirements issued and operations created), Released to the floor, In Process, and Closed. Managers can control production schedules and priorities at all stages of the manufacturing process, and can track variances in material usage and labor with precision.
OpenMFG’s Part Definition module includes your Items, Bills of Materials, Bills of Operations (also known as Routings), and support for both Standard and Actual Costing. You have enormous flexibility in defining and describing your Items, including support for Aliases (what your customers or suppliers might call something), Substitutes, various types of Images suitable for online catalogs, pick lists, engineering diagrams, and more. There are Item Variants, with support for user-defined Options and Attributes, which allows you to build infinite variations on your standard finished goods. Bills of Materials, the basic definition of how a product is manufactured, can be as simple, or as complex, as you like (an infinite number of levels deep). And OpenMFG supports Breeder (or Inverse) Bills, which allow you to create Co-Products and By-Products from one source Item, and track variable cost absorptions and distribution variances across those elements as well.
Master Scheduling and Material Requirements Planning (MRP) allow you to be proactive in managing your production and inventory levels. Your planners can build out your Master Production Schedule (MPS), which is time-phased over standard calendars (absolute or relative) that you define. Use MRP to determine when to build assemblies, sub-assemblies, and order component parts - or, if your organization is more dynamic, use OpenMFG’s powerful Running Availability feature for up-to-the-minute insight across your operations.
Capacity Planning improves your production scheduling and utilization of labor and machinery by tracking activity at individual work centers over time. Identify bottlenecks and down time (by Item, by Work Center, or by Planner), and increase efficiency across the organization.
Supply Chain Modules
Order entry in the Sales Order module is where it all begins. Sales reps have complete visibility into real-time inventory availability and the production schedule. You have the option of letting customer demand drive work order production directly (or purchase requests, in the case of purchased items). OpenMFG supports Quotes, which can be converted to actual Orders when firm, and multiple levels of tax codes which can be tailored to your customers’ local markets. The system also allows for a rich array of pricing options, by Customer, Groups, Types, and Categories - as well as special promotions and sales, and the ability to throttle customer buying power by credit rating.
OpenMFG’s Purchase Order module manages all your interaction with Vendors, including Purchase Requests, actual Purchase Orders, Vouchers, and Receipts. It’s fully integrated with the rest of the system in real time, so you can consolidate and optimize your purchasing procedures across the organization. Keep track of Vendor Performance on Rejected Materials, Delivery Date Variances, and Price Variances. Both Purchase Orders and Sales Invoices can be sent via email in any number of document formats.
Deep and rich historial sales data is available for detailed analysis across multiple time periods, using multiple variables. OpenMFG ships with over 200 standard Reports, including 30 in the Sales Analysis module. You can look at Sales History or Bookings (uninvoiced sales) by individual Customer, Customer Type, Customer Group, Bill-To, Ship-To, Item, Product Category, or Sales Rep. Look at Summarized Sales History over a particular time period, or define multiple periods using custom Calendars and Time-Phased reporting. All reports are fully customizable using the OpenRPT graphical report writer, included with the OpenMFG system.
Accounting Modules
The heart of any business system is financials, and OpenMFG features a powerful General Ledger, which is tightly integrated in real time with the other modules of the system. You have tremendous flexibility in defining your Chart of Accounts, with support for four Segments in Account Numbers, each of any length. You may define an unlimited number of Accounting Periods per year, and certain users have the option of posting into closed Periods.
OpenMFG supports Standard Journals and Standard Journal Groups, with Expiration and Effectivity Dates for simple Period-End Posting. Financial Reports are completely user-definable, and the system’s open architecture facilitates simple interfaces to third party applications such as spreadsheets, payroll, and fixed asset depreciation.
The Accounts Payable module supports User-Defined Check Formats, assigned on a Bank Account basis, and full Reconciliation capability. You have total control over your check runs, and can look at historical purchasing data, user-defined aging of open items, and time-phased cash requirements. The Accounts Receivable module allows for easy creation and posting of Invoices, management of Cash Receipts, Debit and Credit Memos, and time-phased cash projections and open receivables.
OpenMFG also features a rich Application Programming Interface to Third-Party Accounting Systems, for optimal customer flexibility. Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and other transactions can be processed in real-time or batch mode.
