Specialty manufacturer: Acumatica rebuilt around the floor
A Mid-Atlantic maker with roughly 280 employees had Acumatica installed, but finance still closed the books from Excel. We remapped job cost and inventory to match how jobs actually move.
Two sets of numbers every month
Production tracked jobs and scrap on paper and shared drives. Controllers pulled inventory and WIP into Excel, then spent nights matching it to Acumatica. Close took close to nine business days, and nobody trusted the on-hand balances during the month.
Configure the ERP to the real process
We sat with planners and the controller for two weeks, then rebuilt BOM stages, job cost capture and inventory transactions so receipts and issues hit Acumatica the same day. Business events replaced the nightly spreadsheet merge. Generic inquiries replaced the export pack the CFO used to ask for by email.

Finance and production still disagree at month-end?
