Metal Processing ERP Yield per batch, not at month end.
Weigh material in and out of every batch, with scrap by cause and the heat number carried to dispatch.

What slows metal processors down
- Yield is seen at month endInput and output weights are reconciled once a month, so a batch that lost too much is found weeks later.
- Heat numbers get lost on the floorThe heat number is on the receipt, but it doesn't follow the material through each batch to the dispatch.
- Scrap has no reasonScrap is weighed as a total. Nobody knows which process, machine or shift produced most of it.
How it works
How metal processors run on FleekERP
Coil, plate and bar received against a heat number, output that always weighs less than the input, and a yield figure nobody sees until month end. FleekERP records the input lot on every batch, the output lots it produced and the scrap in between, so yield is a number you read per batch rather than a figure you reconcile at month end.

Built for metal processors
- Heat number end to endThe heat number on the incoming lot stays on every output lot cut from it, and appears on the delivery note.
- Input-to-output yield per batchIssued weight against produced weight and scrap weight. Yield is per batch, not a monthly average.
- Scrap with a reasonOffcut, rejection and setting loss are recorded as separate reasons, so the recurring one is visible.

Questions from metal processors
What is metal processing ERP?
Metal processing ERP serves plants that cut, slit, form or treat coil, plate and bar, where the margin depends on how much of the input weight becomes saleable output. It tracks material by heat number, records input, output and scrap weight on every batch, and carries certificate values through to dispatch.
We sell by weight but plan in pieces. Does that work?
Yes. An item carries both units and the conversion sits on the item, so orders, issues and dispatch can each use the one that suits them.
Can we hold test certificate values against the lot?
Certificate values are recorded as characteristics on the incoming lot and travel forward to the output lots and the delivery note.
How is yield calculated per batch?
The input lot's issued weight is set against the produced weight and the scrap weight on every batch. Losses are split by cause, such as offcut, rejection or setting, so yield is read per batch instead of reconciled at month end.
Does the heat number follow the material to dispatch?
Yes. The heat number and test certificate are captured when coil, plate or bar arrives, stay on every output lot cut from it, and print on the delivery note.
