Finished Goods Reporting is a process to receive the Finished Goods into ERP and at the same time consume Raw Materials. Based on the Business needs customer will follow different process.

1. Directly do a FGR and receive the Finished Goods – Firms who have less items and are controlled by close monitoring can follow this model.
2. Manually do the Materials Request Form (MRF) and based on the receipt of materials to the destination locations, production reporting is done.
3. Work Order Process – If you want to manage the internal process, it has complex multi process etc, please follow this. Advantages of this is
   1. Helps to define a set of operations / steps to complete to arrive at the Finished Goods (Routing process)
   2. Define the Work centres, where the real work happens as the Stores Person can transfer the RM to the location.
   3. Pre-Define the Process, where the Subcontracting Operation happens. This avoids the last minute confusions.
