A free-goods or discount scheme is settled with a distributor, and its real cost only appears once the month closes.
PRODUCT 04 · FMCG & PACKAGED GOODS
FMCG Manufacturing ERP
High volumes, thin margins and an expiry date on everything. Genzerp runs batch production, distributor sales, schemes and returns on one system, so a scheme you ran last month shows up in this month’s margin.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
The four things that slow this business down.
Near-expiry stock sits in the warehouse or, worse, at a distributor, until it comes back as a return.
Damages, expiry returns and scheme claims arrive as a list, and reconciling them against what was actually supplied is done by hand.
Raw material, packing and production cost are averaged across the month, so nobody knows which SKU is genuinely profitable.
THE WORKING FLOW
How a batch actually moves
This is the path a production batch takes through Genzerp, from the formula to the distributor claim it eventually settles against.
Production is planned by SKU and batch size against the formula, with raw and packing material checked before the batch starts.
Material is issued against the batch and tied to supplier lots, so a quality question traces backwards in minutes.
The batch is produced, and its batch number, manufacturing date and expiry are generated with it.
The batch cannot be sold until QC has verified and released it, with the result stored against the batch itself.
Stock moves to distributors against orders and schemes, with batch and expiry carried on every document.
Damages, expiry returns and scheme claims settle against what was actually supplied, and close against the batch.

Which SKUs are actually profitable?
It closes material, packing, wastage and scheme cost against every batch and ranks SKUs by real margin rather than by volume.

What is near expiry and where is it?
It lists stock approaching expiry across plant, depot and distributors, how much there is, and which customers usually take it.

WHAT YOU GET
What is inside the product
Everything below runs on the same connected core, so production, distribution and claims read from one set of numbers.
Store the formula once and scale it to any batch size, with raw and packing requirements re-calculated automatically.
Manufacturing and expiry dates are generated with the batch, and near-expiry stock surfaces as an alert rather than a return.
A batch cannot be sold until it is verified and released, so unreleased stock can never leave by accident.
Distributor orders, price lists and schemes in one place, with the cost of each scheme visible while it runs.
Damage, expiry and scheme claims settle against actual supply rather than against a submitted list.
Material, packing and wastage close per batch, so margin is known per SKU instead of averaged across a month.
Stock across plant, depot and distributor with transfers, movements and batch visibility at every point.
Purchase requests, orders and vendor performance driven by the material the production plan actually needs.
Invoices, payments, ledgers and GST-ready documents built on the same data as production — no second entry, no month-end reconciliation.
Leads, sources, statuses, follow-ups and meetings, so an enquiry and the order it turns into live in one place.
Positions, resumes, onboarding, leave requests and exits, with roles and permissions set per user and per module.
Ask for the numbers in plain language. Order predictions, P&L, consistency, performance and productivity reports come as standard.
WHY IT FITS
Built for volume, batches and expiry
FMCG is not just manufacturing with bigger numbers. Expiry, schemes and distributor claims are where the margin quietly goes, and a general-purpose system treats all three as an afterthought.
Every unit knows its batch and expiryBatch and expiry travel on stock, transfers, invoices and returns, so a near-expiry sweep is a query rather than a stock-take.
A scheme has a cost while it is runningFree goods and discounts attach to the order, so what a scheme is costing is visible during the month, not after it.
Claims settle against what was suppliedDamages and expiry returns reconcile against actual dispatches, distributor by distributor and batch by batch.
Margin is per SKU, per batchActual material, packing and wastage close against each batch, so the SKU that looks busy and the SKU that earns are not confused.
BEFORE YOU ASK
Questions we get every time.
Can it track batch and expiry right through to the distributor?
Yes. Batch and expiry travel on stock, transfers, invoices and returns, so near-expiry stock can be found wherever it is sitting.
Can it handle free goods and discount schemes?
Yes. Schemes attach to the order, so their cost is visible while the scheme is running rather than only at month end.
How are distributor claims handled?
Damage, expiry and scheme claims settle against what was actually supplied to that distributor, batch by batch, instead of against a submitted list.
Can it work across plant, depot and distributor stock?
Yes. Each location holds its own stock, with transfers between them and batch visibility at every point.
Will it work alongside our existing accounting software?
Yes. Genzerp covers production, stock, distribution and costing, and can pass the resulting documents to the package you already use.
Can we run it on our own server?
Yes. It runs on our cloud or on your own server, whichever your IT policy requires.
