Answer
What ERP do control panel manufacturers in India need?
Control panel manufacturers need manufacturing ERP that connects quotations to revision-controlled BOMs, long-lead procurement, assembly and wiring progress, inspection or test before dispatch, and GST-ready documents from shipped quantity. FOS ERP maps those discrete workflows through CRM, Planning & MRP, Purchase, Production, Quality and Accounts — not electrical CAD. CLIENT TO CONFIRM: which panel test workflows are standard versus scoped.
BOM revisions after order win
Drawing changes arrive mid-build; stores still issue the old list.
Bought-out shortages
PLCs and breakers miss the assembly slot when planning lives in a private sheet.
Dispatch before release
Test status sits in chat, so panels can leave without a recorded hold clear.
Workflow from enquiry to dispatch
How a panel job typically runs on connected modules.
Panel BOMs & revisions
Keep the sales order on the active BOM revision so MRP and stores share one component list.
Bought-out items
MRP nets demand against stock and open POs for long-lead components.
Project-based orders
Order-centric WIP shows assembly progress against the customer commitment.
Shop-floor tracking
Work orders carry operations; operators report quantities into live WIP.
Testing & inspection
Quality checklists and holds can gate release — CLIENT TO CONFIRM specialised panel test packs.
Dispatch documents
Invoices and e-Way details should reflect packed quantity from the same thread.
Modules: Planning & MRP, Production, Quality, Purchase.

Is FOS suitable for electrical control panel manufacturers?
Yes when you run discrete builds: customer BOMs, component procurement, assembly WIP, inspection or test gates and dispatch documents. FOS provides those manufacturing ERP workflows — not electrical CAD.
How are BOM revisions handled for panels?
Keep the sales order linked to the active BOM revision so MRP and stores follow the same component list after drawing changes.
Can FOS plan long-lead panel components?
MRP nets BOM demand against stock and open purchase orders so breakers, PLCs and enclosures surface before assembly slots are wasted.
How do test or inspection gates work before dispatch?
Quality checklists and hold points can sit on the work order so release is recorded before finished stock and dispatch. CLIENT TO CONFIRM: specialised panel test packs versus standard quality gates.
Does FOS track powder coating or enclosure job work?
Subcontract challans can issue and receive outside processes against the parent panel work order via the Subcontracting module.
