Complete Project Lifecycle Tracking and Control
Plan, track and cost by project using Project Control, which connects Sales, Inventory Control, Shop Floor Control, MRP, Purchasing and Manufacturing Cost Control.
- With our Cloud ERP software, your job shop and machine shops can allocate materials to projects using standard or average costs, and associate inventory items, sales, work orders, purchase requisitions and purchase orders with a project.
- Run Material Requirements Planning (MRP) by one or multiple projects, by division.
Project Workbench gives you real-time access to all project data, including a snapshot cost comparison of actual to budget, project inventory, PO requisitions and orders, manufacturing work orders, forecasts, sales orders, and all transactions associated with the project.
The ability to manage costing throughout the manufacturing process is critical to your business and managing margins. Rootstock Cloud ERP gives you complete visibility and control of costing, helping you identify and manage cost elements while eliminating inefficiencies.
- Define cost elements for purchased material, subcontract material, labor, machine and machine and material burden.

Cost Analysis and General Ledger Drill Down
Rootstock Cloud ERP has the ability to accurately track costs at very detailed levels in operations while rolling up and posting automatically into the General Ledger, making sure cost accounting and operations tie out seamlessly with Finance. Users can monitor costs at both levels or drill down from the General Ledger into the manufacturing cost detail.
- Define up to eight different cost components for an item in addition to General ledger accounts.
- Cost transactions flow automatically to the general ledger for faster period closes.
- Drill down from the General Ledger to cost details maintained in manufacturing cost control accounts.
