Getting Started
Welcome to OEMup! This guide walks you through everything you need to go from sign-up to running your first order. Most users complete setup in under a day.
Step 1: Set Up Your Company
After signing up, the first thing you'll do is set up your company profile. This tells OEMup about your business.
- Go to Settings → Company Details and enter your company name, address, and logo.
- Enter your GST number (GSTIN). This is used for all tax calculations and E-Invoice generation.
- Set your financial year (e.g., April 2024 to March 2025) and your base currency (INR).
- Go to Settings → Users and add your team members. Give each person a role (Admin, Manager, Operator, etc.) to control what they can see and do.
Step 2: Import Your Existing Data
If you're switching from Tally, Excel, or another system, you can bring your data into OEMup easily.
- Download our Excel templates from Settings → Data Import. We have templates for Customers, Vendors, Items, and Opening Balances.
- Fill in the templates with your existing data. The columns are clearly labeled — just paste your data in the right columns.
- Upload the filled templates back into OEMup. The system will validate the data and show you any errors to fix.
- Once imported, verify a few records to make sure everything looks correct.
Step 3: Configure Your Modules
OEMup has 8 modules, but you don't have to use all of them right away. Start with what you need most.
🤝 CRM & Sales
Start here if you want to manage customers and send invoices with GST.
📦 Inventory
Turn on if you want to track what's in stock across your warehouses.
⚙️ Production
Enable when you're ready to plan manufacturing with BOMs and work orders.
👥 HRMS
Set up for attendance tracking, leave management, and payroll.
Step 4: Set Up Numbering Formats
Go to Settings → Numbering Formats to customize how your documents are numbered.
- Set invoice number format (e.g., INV-2024-0001).
- Set purchase order format (e.g., PO-2024-0001).
- Set manufacturing order format (e.g., MO-2024-0001).
- Numbers auto-increment, so you never have to worry about duplicates.
CRM & Sales
The CRM module handles everything related to your customers — from storing their details to creating orders, generating invoices, and tracking payments.
Managing Customers
Every sale starts with a customer. Here's how to add and manage them.
- Go to CRM → Customers and click "+ New Customer".
- Enter the customer's name, GST number, billing address, and shipping address.
- Set their payment terms (e.g., 30 days credit) and any default discounts.
- You can also add multiple contact persons for each customer.
Creating Sales Orders
When a customer places an order, create a Sales Order to track it.
- Go to CRM → Customer Orders and click "+ New Order".
- Select the customer. Their address and GST details auto-fill.
- Add line items — select products from your inventory, enter quantities, and rates. GST is calculated automatically based on the item's HSN code.
- Save the order. You can revise it later if the customer changes quantities.
- When ready, create a Sales Invoice directly from the order with one click.
Invoices & E-Invoice
OEMup creates GST-compliant invoices and can generate E-Invoices automatically.
- Go to CRM → Sales Invoices to see all invoices or create a new one.
- GST is auto-calculated (CGST+SGST for same-state, IGST for inter-state) based on your company and customer GST numbers.
- Click "Generate E-Invoice" to send it to the GST portal. OEMup gets the IRN number and QR code back automatically.
- Need an E-Way Bill? Click "Generate E-Way Bill" — the transport details form pops up, and it's filed to the portal in seconds.
- Print or email the invoice as a PDF — it includes the QR code and IRN.
Tracking Payments
- When a customer pays, go to the invoice and click "Record Payment".
- Enter the amount, date, and payment method (bank transfer, cash, cheque).
- OEMup tracks partial payments too — if ₹50,000 is due and they pay ₹30,000, the balance of ₹20,000 shows as pending.
- Set up automatic payment reminders for overdue invoices at CRM → Settings → Reminders.
Procurement
The Procurement module manages everything you buy — from raw materials to services. Create purchase orders, track deliveries, and manage vendor payments.
Indents & RFQ
When someone in your team needs materials, they create an Indent (material request).
- Go to Procurement → Indents and click "+ New Indent".
- Add the items needed, quantities, and the required-by date.
- A manager can approve or reject the indent.
- Once approved, convert the indent to an RFQ (Request for Quotation) and send it to multiple vendors to compare prices.
Purchase Orders
- Create a PO from an approved indent/RFQ, or make one directly at Procurement → Purchase Orders.
- Select the vendor, add items, quantities, and rates. Vendor's payment terms auto-fill.
- When goods arrive, mark the PO as "Received". This automatically adds items to your inventory.
- If a quality check is needed, the items go to "Inspection" first before being accepted into stock.
Purchase Invoices
- When you receive the vendor's bill, create a Purchase Invoice against the PO.
- GST Input Tax Credit is automatically computed and added to your GST ledger.
- Track vendor payments and manage advance payments using the vendor wallet.
Inventory & Stock
Track every item in your warehouse with lot-level detail. Know what's in stock, what's reserved, and when to reorder — in real time.
Items & Products
- Go to Stock → Items to see all your products and raw materials.
- Each item has a name, SKU, HSN code (for GST), unit of measurement, and default rates.
- Set Reorder Level and Reorder Quantity for each item. When stock falls below the reorder level, you'll get an alert.
- Items can be categorized as Raw Material, Finished Goods, Semi-finished, or Consumable.
Stock Lots & Tracking
- Every time stock comes in (from a purchase or production), a Stock Lot is created with a unique number.
- Track the lot through its lifecycle — received, inspected, issued to production, shipped to customer.
- Use the Stock Summary view to see available, reserved, and free stock for each item across all locations.
Warehouse Locations
- Set up multiple stock locations at Settings → Stock Locations (e.g., Warehouse A, Warehouse B, Transit).
- Transfer stock between locations with a Stock Transfer document.
- Each location shows its own stock summary — you always know where things are.
Production Planning
Plan and track manufacturing from raw materials to finished goods. Define what goes into each product, schedule work, and monitor progress.
Bill of Materials (BOM)
- Go to Production → BOM and click "+ New BOM".
- Select the finished product, then add all the raw materials and quantities needed to make one unit.
- You can create multi-level BOMs — where a component itself has a BOM (sub-assembly).
- Attach a Routing to define the manufacturing steps (operations and workstations).
Manufacturing Orders
- Go to Production → Manufacturing Orders and click "+ New MO".
- Select the product to make, enter the quantity, and set the due date.
- OEMup checks if the required materials are in stock. If not, it suggests creating Purchase Orders.
- As production progresses, update the status. When complete, finished goods are automatically added to inventory.
- Materials are auto-consumed from stock based on the BOM — no manual entry needed.
Routings & Work Orders
- A Routing defines the sequence of operations to make a product (e.g., Cutting → Welding → Painting → QC).
- Each operation is assigned to a Workstation with estimated time.
- Work Orders are automatically generated from the MO and routing. Operators see their tasks on the shop floor.
- Track actual time spent vs. estimated time for each operation.
Accounting & Finance
Full double-entry accounting with automatic GST handling. OEMup creates accounting entries automatically when you create invoices, receive payments, or process payroll.
Chart of Accounts
OEMup comes with a pre-configured Chart of Accounts suitable for Indian manufacturing companies. You can customize it at Accounting → Chart of Accounts.
Vouchers & Entries
- Journal Vouchers — for manual accounting adjustments.
- Receipt Vouchers — when you receive money from customers.
- Payment Vouchers — when you pay vendors or expenses.
- Contra Vouchers — for bank-to-bank or cash-to-bank transfers.
GST Returns
- Go to Accounting → GST Returns to see auto-generated GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B data.
- OEMup pulls all your sales invoices, purchase invoices, and credit/debit notes to pre-fill the returns.
- Review the data, make any adjustments, and file directly or export for upload to the GST portal.
Reports
Key reports available: Trial Balance, General Ledger, Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, GST Ledger, and TDS Reports.
