When planning, the shop floor, and settlement use different data
A planner updates the schedule in a spreadsheet, the warehouse checks material availability in the ERP system, and a supervisor reports completed operations after the shift ends. A controller waits for all documents before comparing the planned and actual cost of an order. Each separate version of the information makes it harder to determine what can start, what has already been completed, and what caused a variance.
After implementation, the production routing, material requirements, order, execution, and settlement form a connected flow. The warehouse receives information about production requirements, execution data returns to the system, and the people responsible can see the status and exceptions that require a decision.
Plan and material availability
Before: a planner sequences orders and then separately checks for missing raw materials and semi-finished goods.
After: the plan uses routing, material requirements, and availability data, making a shortage or conflict visible before work starts.
Order execution
Before: completed operations are reported from the shop floor with a delay, so the schedule does not show actual progress.
After: the start, progress, consumption, and completion of operations are recorded in the agreed system and feed subsequent process stages.
Cost and quality
Before: finance and quality control search for data in documents, spreadsheets, and records from several workstations.
After: inspection results, material consumption, and operation execution remain linked to the order and its settlement.
Complete manufacturing implementation in Comarch ERP XL
We cover manufacturing with complete implementation and support. We begin with the production method, product variants, routings, resources, material flow, data responsibilities, execution recording, quality control, and costing and settlement rules. We then configure Comarch ERP XL, migrate the agreed data, prepare integrations and extensions, conduct testing and training, launch the solution, and stabilize it.
Routings, recipes, and master data
A production routing—called a recipe in many plants—describes how a product is made. It organizes operations, parameters, raw materials and substitutes, semi-finished goods, and finished products. We connect the configuration to real process variants, responsibility for routing changes, and master-data approval rules.
Planning and scheduling
Planning connects demand with the routing, materials, and resources required to perform operations. We establish rules for creating and updating the plan, order priorities, conflict handling, and the data that must return from execution. We tailor the scheduling scope to the manufacturing model and the plant’s work organization.
Orders and operation execution
A production order manages planned operations, material reservations, execution, and related documents. The project defines where an operator records work start and completion, material consumption, output, scrap, and events requiring action. Data goes directly to XL or arrives from a connected manufacturing execution system or workstation application.
Production warehouse and supply
We connect production requirements with purchasing and warehouse management. The system supports material preparation, issues to production, receipts of semi-finished and finished goods, and inventory updates. When the warehouse uses a separate WMS, we design the exchange of item master data, requirements, documents, and statuses, along with error-handling rules.
See the Comarch ERP XL integration with WMS.
Production costing and settlement
Settlement connects material consumption, completed operations, and other cost categories with the order and product. Together with production and finance teams, we agree on data sources, settlement points, and methods for analyzing planned and actual costs. Accounting and reporting therefore use the same production-result data.
Quality control and traceability
We incorporate quality control at the appropriate stages of manufacturing. Parameters, inspection results, batches, and operation history remain linked to the production process. When the flow requires additional rules, we extend the XL interface with validation, reminders, blocks, and actions tailored to user responsibilities.
See Comarch ERP XL interface customizations.
From analysis to launch and stabilization
- Process and data analysis. We establish the products, routings, materials, resources, orders, roles, quality control, settlement method, and connected systems.
- Solution design. We define the XL configuration, data migration, integrations, extensions, reporting, and exception-handling scenarios.
- Configuration and migration. We prepare the environment, configure the agreed scope, and migrate validated master data and open processes.
- Integrations and testing. We connect manufacturing with the warehouse, purchasing, finance, quality, and reporting. We test complete scenarios from requirements and orders through finished-goods receipt and settlement.
- Training and launch. We prepare planners, production engineers, and employees in manufacturing, warehousing, and finance, launch the solution, and stabilize the process.
- Support and development. We maintain manufacturing modules, integrations, extensions, and reports, and develop them as the plant changes.

Comarch ERP XL in a company-wide process
The ERP system organizes routings, orders, materials, and settlements, but the manufacturing process also uses approvals, documents, shop-floor data, and management reporting. We design the flow of information and responsibilities between XL and the surrounding systems so users can see the status without re-entering the same data.
AI supports exception analysis
AI organizes data, detects an unusual situation, or prepares a recommendation for a planner, production engineer, or person responsible for quality. A person reviews the result and approves the action before any process or ERP data changes.
See AI solutions →AMODIT manages cross-system processes
AMODIT manages approval of a routing change, a quality deviation, a purchase requisition, or another process that extends beyond one module. The integration sends approved data to XL and shows participants the current status.
See Process Automation →KSeF Connector links documents with the ERP system
KSeF Connector handles the exchange of purchase and sales invoices between KSeF (Poland's National e-Invoicing System), Comarch ERP XL, and the document workflow. Mapping, validation, statuses, and official receipt acknowledgments remain part of the controlled finance process around manufacturing.
See KSeF Connector →BI connects manufacturing with company results
We combine XL data with information from the warehouse, sales, purchasing, quality, and other sources. Reports show order execution, consumption, variances, quality, and costs based on shared definitions.
See Data & BI solutions →Maintenance and SLA after launch
After go-live, we take responsibility for the manufacturing modules, their configuration, integrations, extensions, and reports. Every ticket has an owner, priority, and next step. Under an SLA, we define ticket categories, response times, availability, contact channels, and responsibilities.
We also take over existing environments. We begin by diagnosing routings, master data, open orders, configuration, customizations, integrations, reports, and documentation. We then organize ticket handling, resolve problems, and plan further development without replacing components that work correctly.

Frequently asked questions about manufacturing in Comarch ERP XL
What does the Comarch ERP XL manufacturing module cover?
It covers the preparation of production routings, planning and scheduling, material requirements, orders and operation execution, production settlement, and quality control. The exact configuration follows the manufacturing model and the plant's work organization.
Does Astrafox implement the full manufacturing scope in Comarch ERP XL?
Yes. We provide complete implementation and support for this area: from analysis, configuration, and data migration through integrations, testing, and user preparation to go-live, stabilization, and further development.
How does Comarch ERP XL connect the production plan with the warehouse?
Routings and orders define material requirements, while warehouse documents record issues of raw materials and receipts of semi-finished and finished goods. If the warehouse uses a separate WMS, the integration exchanges the agreed item master data, requirements, documents, and statuses.
How do you settle production in Comarch ERP XL?
Settlement links materials, operations, resources, and other cost categories with the order and product. During implementation, we establish data sources, settlement points, and methods for comparing planned and actual values together with the production and finance teams.
Can manufacturing data be connected to BI?
Yes. We combine order, execution, consumption, quality, and cost data with information from the warehouse, purchasing, sales, and finance. Reporting uses agreed definitions and designated data sources.
Can manufacturing in Comarch ERP XL be covered by an SLA?
Yes. SLA support covers Comarch ERP XL, manufacturing-module configuration, integrations, extensions, and reports. The agreement defines ticket categories, response times, availability, contact channels, and service responsibilities.
