Order fulfilment status, pending dispatches, outstanding receivables, and customer-wise collections — in one connected view.

Industry Challenges

Why generic ERP falls short
for Iron & Steel companies.

Iron & Steel businesses run on heat numbers, weight reconciliation at every stage, shift-wise rolling schedules, and per-heat costing. A generic ERP handles none of this without significant customisation.

No heat-level tracking

Production recorded as bulk quantities. No heat number connects scrap input to finished bar or coil. When a quality complaint arrives, tracing back to the source heat is impossible.

Weight losses not tracked

Scrap goes in, finished product comes out at lower weight. Scale loss, rolling loss, and melting loss are not recorded — costing is based on estimates, not actual yield.

No rolling schedule visibility

Production runs shift-by-shift. No real-time view of grade and size being produced — leading to wrong order commitments and missed delivery dates.

Inventory fragmented across locations

Scrap yard, billet stock, and finished goods are in different locations with no unified view. Double-booking and stock discrepancies are routine.

Costing not linked to production

Per-MT cost changes with every heat — scrap grade, energy, rolling yield. Without heat-linked costing, margins are estimated rather than calculated.

Dispatch planning is manual

Order fulfilment tracked in registers. Which stock is allocated to which order, project, or dealer is unclear — last-minute shortfalls and customer disputes follow.

How exactllyERP Addresses This

Built around how the Iron & Steel business actually operates.

Heat tracking, weight reconciliation, rolling planning, multi-location inventory, production-linked costing, and dispatch management are not add-ons.

They are how exactllyERP works for Iron & Steel companies.

Full Heat Number Traceability

Heat number assigned at melting, carried through rolling, finishing, and dispatch. Every coil, bar, or section linked to its source heat.

  • Heat number assigned at furnace tap, carried through every stage
  • Scrap input vs cast output weight recorded per heat
  • Quality test results linked to specific heat number
  • Customer complaints traceable to exact heat of origin
Weight Reconciliation at Every Stage

Scrap at gate to cast output to rolling output — every transition captured. Actual yield, not estimates.

  • Weighbridge integration at inward — grade-wise scrap weight recorded
  • Melting yield per heat — scrap input vs billet output
  • Rolling yield per heat — billet in vs finished goods out
  • Scale and conversion losses calculated and recorded automatically
Production Planning & Rolling Schedules

Order book linked to rolling plan — what needs to be rolled, what size, on which shift.

  • Shift-wise rolling programme with grade, size, and target tonnage
  • Planned vs actual production tracked per shift in real time
  • Mill-wise utilisation and downtime recorded per shift
  • Plan changes reflected across order commitments immediately
Multi-Location Inventory Visibility

Scrap yard, WIP billets, and finished goods tracked separately — grade-wise, size-wise, location-wise.

  • Grade-wise and size-wise FG stock position at any time
  • Committed vs available stock separated — no double allocation
  • Multiple plant and warehouse locations consolidated into one view
  • Ageing and slow-moving stock flagged for management review
Production-Linked Costing & Margin

Per-MT cost built from actual scrap, energy, and conversion cost for every heat. No standard-cost assumptions.

  • Scrap cost, energy, and conversion captured per heat
  • Per-MT cost calculated on actual output weight, not input
  • Selling price vs production cost compared at invoice level
  • Margin visibility by grade, size, customer, and period
Dispatch Planning & Order Fulfilment

Customer orders linked to stock — project-wise and dealer-wise dispatch fully tracked in the system.

  • Order-to-stock allocation in system — no verbal commitments
  • Partial and full fulfilment tracked against each order
  • Project-wise phased delivery schedules with balance tracking
  • Dealer-wise outstanding and dispatch history in one view
Iron & Steel Production Flow

One connected flow — from scrap procurement to finished goods dispatch and billing.

Every stage in the steel production lifecycle connected in one system. Scrap inward creates the procurement record. Heat creation begins at melting. Rolling links to the heat. Finished goods enter inventory. Orders draw from stock. Dispatch closes the billing cycle.

No manual handoffs. No data re-entry between stages.

Real Business Situations

How Iron & Steel companies use exactllyERP
to run day-to-day operations.

Heat complaints, dispatch conflicts, margin queries, stock allocation — situations that come up every week. exactllyERP handles each without manual reconciliation.

1
Heat quality complaint

Customer reports surface defects on TMT bars received last week. Which heat was it? Were other customers supplied from the same heat?

Heat number on dispatch links to production record. Quality test on file. All orders from the same heat identified immediately.
2
Weight reconciliation query

Accounts team suspects rolling yield figures from production are overstated. They want to verify input vs output weights for the week.

Weighbridge records for scrap inward, casting output, and rolling output linked to heat. Reconciliation report generated without any manual cross-checking.
3
Production planning for a large order

Customer places a 200 MT order for 8mm TMT. Sales team needs to know when it can be committed — from current billet stock or a new heat.

Current billet inventory, rolling schedule, and pending order position visible together. Commitment date determined without guesswork.
4
Inventory allocation conflict

Two customers want the same grade and size from the same stock lot. Dispatch team is unsure which is allocated to which order.

Order-wise stock allocation in system shows what is committed. Available vs committed balance prevents double-booking.
5
Margin review on a specific grade

Management wants actual margins on 12mm TMT sold last quarter — based on real production cost, not estimates.

Per-heat cost for all 12mm production available. Cost vs selling price by customer and period pulled directly — no manual calculation.
6
Phased project dispatch

A contractor needs structural sections delivered over 8 weeks. Dispatch team needs to track what has gone, what is pending, and what stock is reserved.

Project-wise order with phased schedule in system. Each delivery records balance remaining. Fulfilment status visible without chasing the team.

Common Questions

Iron & Steel industry questions, answered directly.

Questions Iron & Steel manufacturers and processors ask about heat tracking, rolling mill planning, dispatch management, costing, and scrap reconciliation — answered from how exactllyERP actually works.

How does exactllyERP track heat-wise production in a steel plant?

Each heat is recorded in exactllyERP with furnace, charge composition, tapping weight, and quality parameters. Production output from the heat — billets, blooms, or ingots — is tagged to the heat number. The heat record carries forward through rolling and finishing, providing a continuous trace from raw material to finished product.

How does exactllyERP manage rolling mill planning and production scheduling?

Rolling schedules are planned in exactllyERP against available billet stock and customer order requirements. Section-wise and size-wise production targets are set per shift. Actual output is recorded against the plan. Shortfalls against the day’s target are visible before the shift ends — allowing production managers to adjust before dispatch commitments are missed.

Can exactllyERP handle weight-based billing and dispatch management for Iron & Steel?

Yes. exactllyERP bills on actual weight confirmed at dispatch — weighbridge or bundle count. Invoices are generated from actual dispatch weight, not theoretical weight. Weight differences between production and dispatch are recorded as part of the stock reconciliation. Bundle-wise and section-wise dispatch records are available for every delivery.

How does exactllyERP calculate actual costing per heat or per tonne?

exactllyERP accumulates raw material cost at actual purchase price, power and fuel cost, consumables, labour, and overhead per heat. Actual cost per tonne is calculated after accounting for yield loss and scrap recovery. The result is compared against the standard cost per section and grade — variance by heat and by period is available for cost control review.

How does exactllyERP manage scrap, rejection, and yield tracking in steel production?

Scrap generated at each stage — melting, rolling, finishing — is recorded by type and weight in exactllyERP. Scrap is valued and credited to the production cost of that stage. Yield per heat and per rolling campaign is tracked against the target. Rejection is recorded with reason and disposition — re-melt, rework, or downgrade — at the point it occurs.

Can exactllyERP handle job work and subcontracting for steel processing?

Yes. Material sent for job work — cutting, drawing, galvanising, coating — is tracked against a job work challan in exactllyERP. Return quantity, processing charges, and GST liability are recorded at receipt. Outstanding job work by processor and by material is visible at any time. Processed material is received into stock with the original heat traceability retained.
