Job Work and Subcontracting Software: Track Material, Processes and ITC-04

Material sent to job workers is often hard to track. Here is how software controls job work end to end.

Key Takeaways

  • Track every challan, process and return against each job worker.
  • Wastage and pending material reports prevent losses.
  • ITC-04 data is ready without manual reconciliation.

Many Indian manufacturers send material outside for plating, machining, printing, stitching or heat treatment. When this runs on paper challans, pending material and wastage are hard to control and GST reporting becomes painful.

Key features

  • Job work orders by process
  • Delivery challans for outward material
  • Partial and full receipts with rejections
  • Process-wise wastage and yield
  • Job worker rate cards and billing
  • Pending material ageing
  • ITC-04 reporting data
  • Integration with production planning and ERP
