BOMs, production & stock control for Sage Intacct
Fuse Manufacturing is an operational layer that sits beside Sage Intacct — bills of materials, works orders, WIP and stock movements — posting into Intacct as they happen, live, costed, and rejected by Intacct if Intacct doesn't like it.
The gap
A manufacturer's day is made of actions that do not belong in an accounting system: a supervisor closing off a production run, a storeman moving a pallet between warehouses, an operator issuing components into work in progress.
Those people do not have Intacct logins, should not have Intacct logins, and would be slow and dangerous in Intacct if they did. So the floor gets recorded somewhere else — a whiteboard, a spreadsheet, a notebook keyed in on Friday by someone who was not there.
Which means the stock figure is right at month end and approximately right the rest of the time — and nobody can say by how much.
How a movement works
The four rules
Between them they remove most of the questions a consultant would otherwise have to ask.
If Intacct rejects the post, the Fuse transaction does not stand. There is no half-committed state and no queue of failures to clear.
It records the cost Intacct accepted. Where Intacct holds no cost, Fuse refuses and reports rather than substituting a plausible number.
Movements post as they happen. Nothing waits for an overnight run, and no journal is summarised on the way through.
Accounts, customers, suppliers, items, warehouses, bins, units, entities and tax schedules are mirrored from Intacct and read-only in Fuse.
There is never a second set of numbers to reconcile, because there is never a second set of numbers.
What it runs
Every movement, however it is entered, builds the same document and goes through the same posting code. There is no second implementation to keep in step.
What each product is made of. Held as a recipe, exploded when you plan, and consumed at the cost Intacct holds when you produce.
Drives works order consumption
Production against a bill of materials. Components off, finished goods on, at the cost Intacct holds.
Backflush + run increase, one atomic post
Components out of stores into a work-in-progress warehouse, so consumption is visible before the job closes.
Inventory transfer
Warehouse to warehouse, carrying bin, lot and serial detail where the client uses them.
Inventory transfer
Balance, ledger, projected quantity and stock on order, off the same numbers Intacct holds.
Read-only reporting
Quality inspection and certificates of analysis, routings and job cards, projects and job costing, maintenance, lot and serial traceability, planning. Same platform, switched on when a client needs it rather than shipped by default.
What each one costs to turn onAlongside these, a shop-floor screen carries the same movement flows in a form a supervisor can use on a tablet at the machine: a scan, a quantity, one button. It builds an ordinary stock document and submits it, so a rejection from Intacct rolls the movement back and the operator reads Intacct's own words on the screen in front of them.
On screen
The landing screen a storeman, a supervisor or a buyer sees when they log in — in work order, with nothing on it they do not use. Every tile is a switch, so a user only sees the parts of the operation they actually run.
Who it's for
Where it stands
A rubber products manufacturer, running against their live Intacct company, in final user acceptance testing.
Production runs, transfers and their reversals have been posted end to end against the client's Intacct company — real documents with real Intacct document numbers, not a sandbox demonstration. Measured outcomes will be published once the client has run a full period. We would rather show you nothing than show you a number we projected.
The partner pack
An introduction to the product rather than a commercial proposal. Read in order, or take the one you need.
Tell us about the manufacturer in front of you and we will show you the movement path end to end, against a company profile that looks like theirs.
