Production, materials and cost that reconcile with each other
Bills of materials kept in spreadsheets, work orders written on paper, and unit cost worked out after the month closes. SenangUrus plans the materials, runs the work orders and costs the build from the same records as purchasing and sales.
The five problems that bring this sector to us
These are the problem statements we hear in this sector before any software is discussed. None of them are solved by adding another screen — they are solved by two things sharing one record.
Bills of materials are maintained by hand, one level at a time
Multi-level bills of materials hold the components, operations and routing, and a work order draws the materials the build actually needs.
Materials are ordered only after the shortage stops the line
Requirements roll from the BOM into purchase orders, and goods received are booked back against the order that asked for them.
Nobody knows where a work order is on the shop floor
Work centres, operations and work orders carry status on a production dashboard, with barcode labels printed and scanned at the station.
Unit cost is worked out after the month closes
Materials, routing and purchase costs sit on the same records, so the standard-versus-actual comparison is read from reports rather than rebuilt in a spreadsheet.
Defects are found at the customer, not at the station
Quality control points with sampling rules record results and route an alert by location, with quarantine bins for stock on hold.
What SenangUrus actually does about each one
Read down the middle column: each answer names a capability that exists in a shipped module, and the right column links straight to it. Where a capability sits in a higher edition, the chip says so.

Modules that matter here — and the ones you can ignore for now
Most businesses in this sector do not need the whole catalogue. This is the shortlist we configure first; everything else stays switched off until it earns its place.
Manufacturing Management
BOM, routing, work centres and shop-floor status
Product Lifecycle Management
Components and changes tracked through the build
SenangUrus 360
Multi-level production, materials planning and shop-floor control across locations.
A single-line assembly shop with a short BOM can start on Business for stock and books, but planning, routing and costing belong to 360.
How a rollout runs here
- Load the bills of materials that carry the most value first, not the whole catalogue.
- Agree the costing method with finance before the first production order is raised.
- Put goods received into the system from day one, or material cost and stock will never agree.
Every sector follows the same five phases — prepare, set up, load, rehearse, go live — described in the onboarding guide, with the interactive checklist on the Resources page.
Manufacturing questions
01/Do we have to load every product and BOM before production runs?
02/Can the shop floor keep working from paper?
03/How does the system know what a unit costs?
