Straight answers on order acceptance and quote-to-cash, purchase and goods receipt, reserve and issue, BOM and MRP, APQP quality, GST and Tally posting, and deployment — written by the team that builds Fast ERP Software.
Fast ERP is the full superset of the Improsys platform — every module switched on over one database. It runs quote-to-cash, procure-to-pay, inventory and stores, production and planning, quality and APQP, accounts and finance, HR, document control and role-based dashboards, all on one system. See the pillar guide.
A rollout starts by loading your masters — items, parties (customers, suppliers, vendors), accounts, tax and GST — then enabling the modules and role-based menu you need, adding users with per-screen rights, and connecting Tally, GST and messaging. It can run on your own server or in the cloud, and our team sets it up with you. See pricing & rollout.
Fast ERP has its own login and role-based access control: each role sees only the menus and screens it is granted, so a sales executive, a purchase officer, a stores clerk, a quality inspector and an accountant each get their own slice of the system. Every write is audit-trailed and every user's activity is logged, so the record shows who did what and when.
An Order Acceptance is the confirmed sales order. It is created from an approved quotation, starts as a draft and is then approved and released. The released OA is the hub of the whole system: it drives the BOM explosion for production, the material plan, and the shortages that start procurement. See Sales & CRM.
The sales spine runs enquiry, quotation, order acceptance, dispatch and invoice. An enquiry is captured and followed up, a quotation is raised, compared and approved, and the approved quotation becomes an OA. From there the order moves to BOM, production, pre-dispatch inspection, dispatch on a delivery challan, and a GST invoice. CRM adds complaint and service tickets with KooKoo IVR and click-to-dial. See Sales & CRM.
Order-versus-invoice reconciliation compares what was ordered on the OA against what has actually been invoiced, so you can see the billed and pending value of every order at a glance. Because dispatch, invoice and payment all trace back to the same released OA, there is no manual matching — the report reads straight off one chain. See Accounts & Finance.
A Purchase Estimate (PE) is an early costing or enquiry by category — RM, capital, consumables, tooling and so on. A Purchase Requisition (PR) is the internal request to buy, raised, checked and approved, and it can be raised against a BOM, against stock or for rejection. A Purchase Order (PO) is the approved order sent to the supplier. See Purchase.
A goods receipt records material received against a purchase order. It posts a receipt to stores, tracks the pending quantity as ordered minus received, and can print barcodes for the received items. The GRN is the point where incoming material enters the stock ledger, and it is what the supplier bill is later matched against. See Purchase.
Incoming material on a GRN goes through receipt inspection, where each line is dispositioned as accepted, rejected, or accepted-under-deviation. Accepted stock posts to stores; rejected quantities can raise a purchase requisition for rejection or a non-conformance; accepted-under-deviation lets material through with a recorded concession. It is the quality gate that blocks bad incoming stock. See Quality & APQP.
Reserving earmarks stock against an order or work order so it cannot be double-committed — but the material is still in stores and stock is not yet reduced. Issuing is the real stock deduction: material leaves store stock and is charged to the job. The key principle is that stock only truly moves at issue, not at reserve. See Inventory & Stores.
One store engine handles every movement — receipt, transfer, dispatch, issue, reservation, WIP, finished-goods and kitting. Stock is tracked by lot or pallet and by bin, with an append-only history of where each lot has been and a per-bin balance, all backed by a movement ledger. Because every module posts through the same engine, valuation reflects every transaction. See Inventory & Stores.
ABC analysis ranks items by value so you focus control on the few that matter most, while stock valuation, non-moving and slow-moving reports and a stock MIS give the full inventory picture. Because they all read from the same live stock ledger the transactions post to, the numbers are current, not a periodic snapshot. See Inventory & Stores.
A released Order Acceptance triggers a BOM-against-OA explosion — the multi-level bill of materials and bill of resources for the ordered item. That drives material requisition on the purchase side and the process route and work orders on the shop floor. Engineering change keeps BOM revisions controlled and traceable. See Production & Planning.
MRP turns order and forecast demand into a production plan, a sales plan, a component plan and a raw-material plan, and shows the shortages that should become purchase requisitions. Machine loading is visualised on a Gantt view, and reorder levels can drive PR generation. Plan, work order and material issue become one continuous chain. See Production & Planning.
Work orders drive the item through its process route, with material issued to the line and good and reject captured operation by operation as work-in-progress. When the route is complete, finished goods are transferred to stock — the second true stock-commit point — ready for dispatch and pre-dispatch inspection. Rework routes salvage rejected parts instead of writing them off. See Production & Planning.
For IATF-16949 automotive suppliers, Fast ERP runs the APQP stage gates with a dashboard, PPAP package control through the document subsystem, FMEA and control plans. Receipt, in-process and pre-dispatch inspection gate quality on both sides of production. This is the differentiator proven at the Nikhtish Engineering deployment. See Quality & APQP.
A gauge master and gauge-type master hold your measuring instruments, and gauge calibration follow-up tracks due dates so instruments stay in calibration. Measurement systems analysis and gauge R&R sit alongside for the studies automotive quality requires, and a gauge MIS gives the management view. See Quality & APQP.
A non-conformance can be raised from a rejection or a complaint and worked through an 8D report with a root-cause tree of categories, causes and specifications. Because quality records reference the originating goods receipt or complaint, an NCR is always traceable back to its source. Dhruv AI can cluster rejection remarks into recurring themes on top of this. See Dhruv AI Analytics.
GST is native: a GST master with HSN import, C-Form, e-way-bill data and amount-in-words on invoices are all built in. Tax configuration drives the right rates on documents, and party GST numbers live in the party master. So invoices come out statutory-ready without a separate tax tool. See GST & Statutory.
Yes. Fast ERP posts to Tally ERP 9 and TallyPrime on both sides: a goods receipt becomes a purchase voucher, a dispatch or invoice becomes a sales voucher, and a stock transfer or adjustment becomes a stock journal. Accounting stays in sync with operations without re-keying. See Tally Integration.
The accounts module covers vouchers, a balance sheet, budgets, tax configuration, debit notes, and payments and receipts on both the sales and purchase sides. Party-wise GST, C-Form and supplier-bill reports round it out, and dashboards summarise it for management. See Accounts & Finance.
Both. Fast ERP is browser-based and can run on your own on-premise server or be hosted in the cloud — either way it is one application over one SQL Server database, with its own login and per-role rights. The choice is about your IT preference, not a change in how the ERP works. See pricing & deployment.
Yes. Fast ERP is the full superset, and the other eleven Fast products are profiles of the same codebase with a subset of the menu enabled. A deployment can start with, say, inventory and purchase and expand into the full ERP later just by enabling more modules — no data migration, because every module shares one database and one document engine. See integrations & suite.
Dhruv AI is our AI analytics layer over live ERP data. It provides role dashboards for CEO, sales, purchase, quality, inventory and production, adds AI insight summaries, answers plain-English questions through a safe read-only query sandbox, and clusters quality and rejection remarks into named recurring themes — so the biggest problems surface on their own. See Dhruv AI Analytics.
