Manufacturing Accounting & ERP Software (Malaysia)

BOM to GL, raw material to finished goods — without a million spreadsheets.

Many Malaysian manufacturers are stuck between Excel and enterprise ERPs that are too big for them. IntBooks has practical manufacturing modules — multi-level bills of materials, build orders, material requirements planning (MRP), and lot and serial tracking — with raw materials, WIP, and finished goods posted to a general ledger that handles SST, MyInvois, and MFRS or MPERS.

Why generic accounting software fails manufacturing businesses

The manufacturing accounting problems we hear every week

  • Costing lives in Excel — and breaks every revision

    Bills of materials and cost sheets sit in a workbook that breaks when raw material prices move or a component changes. Margins drift unnoticed.

  • Work-in-progress is invisible

    Without WIP in the ledger, you only see finished-goods cost after production closes — not in time to fix yield or scrap issues.

  • Enterprise ERPs are out of reach

    Large ERP suites solve the costing problem, but the licence and implementation effort are hard to justify for a small or mid-sized manufacturer.

  • MyInvois adds complexity to B2B sales

    Manufacturers issue B2B e-invoices, and handle credit notes for rejected goods — all within the LHDN schema.

Built for manufacturing

Purpose-built modules — not generic accounting

  • Multi-level Bill of Materials

    Build BOMs with sub-assemblies and components, including substitute parts and part revisions.

  • Build orders & WIP

    Issue build orders against a BOM. Materials consumed post to WIP, and on completion finished goods are received and WIP is cleared to finished-goods inventory in the GL.

  • MRP planning

    Run MRP to explode your BOMs against demand and generate planned build and purchase orders.

  • Scrap, quarantine & rework

    Move stock into quarantine, rework, or scrap, with lot and serial tracking and every movement recorded in the stock ledger.

  • SST-ready books

    Record sales tax on your invoices and prepare SST-02 figures from your ledger for filing on MySST.

  • MyInvois for B2B sales

    Submit customer invoices to MyInvois when you issue them. Credit notes for rejected goods use the matching LHDN document type.

How it works

From setup to month-end close

  1. 1

    Build your BOMs

    Define your finished goods, sub-assemblies, and raw materials, and import parts from a spreadsheet.

  2. 2

    Plan and issue build orders

    Run MRP to see what to build and buy, then release build orders. Materials are allocated and, once consumed, move into WIP.

  3. 3

    Complete and receive

    On completion, finished goods are received into stock and the WIP balance is cleared to finished-goods inventory in the GL.

  4. 4

    Close with full traceability

    Review stock valuation, WIP, and the stock ledger, and prepare SST-02 figures and MyInvois submissions at month-end.

Manufacturing FAQ

Does IntBooks support multi-level Bills of Materials with sub-assemblies?
Yes. A BOM can include sub-assemblies that have their own BOMs, and IntBooks explodes the full tree when you plan or build. Substitute components and part revisions are supported.
How are manufacturing variances tracked?
IntBooks does not calculate standard-cost variances (material price, usage, labour, or overhead) today. Build orders post the cost of the materials actually consumed to WIP and then to finished goods, so the cost you see is the actual material cost of each build.
Can IntBooks handle SST sales-tax-paid raw material exemptions?
Not as a dedicated feature. IntBooks records sales tax on your invoices and prepares SST-02 figures from your ledger, but it does not track exemption certificates or exempted raw-material purchases. Keep those records separately and check the current rules on MySST.
Is IntBooks suitable for a manufacturer doing RM5m–RM50m in revenue?
It can be, if your needs match what it does today: multi-level BOMs, build orders, MRP, lot and serial tracking, and WIP posted to the GL. It does not yet do standard costing, variance analysis, routing, or labour and overhead costing, so if those are essential, talk to us before you commit.
