Introduction

Getting Started with Centrio ERP

Learn how information moves between modules and what every user should understand before entering live data.

What is Centrio ERP?

Centrio ERP is a connected business management system designed to control buyer orders, products, production planning, purchase, job work, material stock, production progress, packing, dispatch, documents, payments and management reporting from one workflow.

1.1 The main operating principle

Every operational document should continue from the previous document. Users should not repeatedly type the same buyer, product, quantity, process or material information in different modules.

1.2 Important document statuses

StatusMeaningOperational effectAction
DraftStill being prepared.No final stock or reporting effect.Review before posting.
OpenConfirmed but incomplete.Pending quantity remains.Continue linked work.
PostedFinalized transaction.May affect stock, progress or accounts.Do not rewrite directly.
CompletedRequired activity is finished.No normal pending quantity remains.Move to next stage.
CancelledNo longer valid.Posted effect should be reversed.Verify reversal.

1.3 Five rules for every user

01Create data once

Use linked documents instead of typing the same information again.

02Verify before posting

Check quantities, dates, units and references.

03Never hide corrections

Use cancellation, reversal, return or adjustment.

04Update on time

Late entries make dashboard and stock inaccurate.

05Follow your role

Use only the modules assigned to your responsibility.
