ERPNext for manufacturers — in India
Production planning, multi-level BOM, subcontracting, and GST — in one open-source ERP deployed on infrastructure you own.
Mith Tech implements ERPNext for Indian manufacturers across automotive components, electronics, FMCG, garments, food processing, and engineering — from single-plant mid-market operators to multi-warehouse groups. The stack covers production planning, multi-level BOM, work orders, batch and serial tracking, subcontracting, quality inspection, and GST e-invoicing without per-user licence fees.
Compliance, in the cell
India Compliance is configured for HSN-wise GST, e-invoicing (IRN + QR), e-way bills, and Tamil Nadu / Maharashtra / Karnataka factory presets. Subcontracting routes through the Job Work flow with delivery challans, gate registers, and stock reconciliation that the factory audit team can actually walk through.
What we deploy
Production planning & shop floor
Multi-level BOM, work orders, job cards, capacity planning, and routing — the back office the production team runs the day from, not a separate MES.
Subcontracting & job work
Send raw material, track at the subcontractor's site, account for process loss, and reconcile finished goods back into inventory — without an Excel register.
Quality & batch traceability
Batch and serial tracking from goods receipt to finished goods dispatch, with quality inspection templates and deviation logs that survive an FSSAI or ISO audit.
GST, e-invoice, e-way bill
India Compliance handles IRN, signed QR, e-way bill thresholds by state, HSN-wise tax, and GSTR-1/3B exports — no separate compliance tool to maintain.

Frequently asked questions
Do you implement ERPNext for small and mid-sized manufacturers in India?
Yes — most of our manufacturing engagements sit between 25 and 250 users, typically one to four plants. We have a structured engagement for the sub-50-user case and a phased programme for the multi-plant case, and both come with the same India Compliance configuration.
How long does an ERPNext manufacturing implementation take?
A single-plant, 15–25-module rollout typically runs 10–14 weeks from kickoff to go-live. Multi-plant programmes with shared master data run 16–24 weeks. We will give you a tighter range once we have seen your current chart of accounts and BOM structure in discovery.
Can ERPNext handle multi-level BOMs and routing?
Yes — multi-level BOMs, alternative BOMs, sub-assemblies, operations and routing, capacity-based scheduling, and backflushing are all native. The depth of routing and the granularity of costing are the parts that need scoping, not the question of whether ERPNext can do it.
What is the cost of ERPNext for a mid-sized Indian manufacturer?
Implementation runs in the band of ₹18–35 lakh for a 50–200 person manufacturer with a 10–14 week timeline, plus ₹3–6 lakh per year for managed hosting. The full breakdown by modules and team size is on our ERPNext cost guide.
