Introduction
NextGenManager is an ERP for manufacturing companies. It carries one set of records from the first customer enquiry to the money in the bank: products and bills of material, purchasing, stock, work orders on the shop floor, quality, dispatch, invoicing, GST, TDS and the general ledger.
This guide explains every screen in the order a company would normally use it.

The example used in the screenshots
Every screenshot comes from one example company, Vajra Auto Components Pvt Ltd, a Pune maker of brake discs, wheel hubs and engine brackets, running its books for the financial year 2026-27. The company, its products and its customers are described in The example company, so you can follow one order all the way through the guide.
