Item and partner records
Inventory items, material grades, bar shapes and sizes, units of measure,
suppliers and customers, and locations — each with active/inactive
lifecycle and searchable lists.
Features
Everything a forging shop needs to track material
Item records, process transactions, posting controls and reporting in one connected workflow — not a general inventory tool bent into shape.
Core capabilities
Process transactions
Receiving, cutting, forging, heat treatment, machining and shipping, each
with controlled draft-to-post transitions. Stock moves on post, never on
save.
Inventory and traceability
Current on-hand balances plus an append-only movement ledger. Every bucket
is keyed by item, location, process stage, heat number and trading partner.
Reports and print views
Receiving detail, inventory on hand, work-in-process by process and item,
movement detail and scrap analysis — each with a print-ready view.
Heat-number traceability
The capability most forging shops come looking for, and the one that is hardest to bolt on later.
Enter a heat number and see every document it touched, in order, across all six stages — with a running balance and a forward chain from the receiving line through to the shipment.
Because the heat number is part of the stock bucket rather than a note on a form, material from two different heats never silently merges into one on-hand figure.
Captured at receiving
- Heat number, per supplier
- Test report number and Jominy reference
- QC status: pending, accepted, rejected or partial
- Accepted and rejected quantity per line
- Invoice quantity versus weighbridge quantity, with variance
