for manufacturing

Inventory, reconciled to the penny.

Every PO matched to its receipt and its bill. Every freight invoice landed in the unit it belongs to. WIP valued by order and stage, and the subledger tied to the GL daily.

The reality today

The PO, the receipt, and the bill never quite agree.

Freight strands in expense, WIP is a quarter-end guess, and chargebacks vanish as write-offs.

from the field
We cut a PO, the goods show up, the vendor bills — and the three never match. Freight lands in its own expense account, and when a retailer takes a chargeback we just write it off, because no one can tie it back. Inventory on the books is a quarter-end guess.

How it works

A bill comes in over the PO. Aleq catches it.

PO says one price, the bill says another. Aleq matches all three and codes the gap — not into COGS.

Cost follows production — material, labor, and completion each post their own entry, and the order auto-completes when the plan is met and WIP zeroes out.

The books for manufacturing, run for you.

Aleq is the system of record and the controller that runs it. The work runs inside your policy and against your approval thresholds, and every entry it posts is signed, sourced, and reversible.

Three-way match. PO, receipt, bill — matched. Breaks flagged, not buried in COGS.

inventory & WIP · costed from the ledger

The match, the cost, the WIP, and the chargeback.

01

WIP, stage by stage

Cost follows production. The rollforward always ties.

02

Landed cost in the unit

Freight and duty in the SKU cost — not an expense line.

03

COGS on shipment

WIP relieves to finished goods; COGS books per order.

04

Chargebacks, coded

Retailer deductions coded to the order, never written off.

the whole close

From the raw-material PO to the retailer remittance.

Inventory and WIP are the hard part in manufacturing. Aleq carries them and everything they touch — procurement, receivables, the bank, and the plants themselves.

It speaks your accounting natively.

The standards and subledgers your model runs on — derived and posted by Aleq, not configured by you.
