In this Acumatica Engineer-To-Order Manufacturing eBook, you will learn how Engineer-to-Order (ETO) manufacturers design products using external manufacturing engineering applications like computer-aided drafting and design (CAD) or product lifecycle management (PLM). Other companies manage bills of material and operation revisions inside their ERP system with engineering change control and approval workflows.

Engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturers build custom products based on customer specifications or a supplied CAD design. Other ETO manufacturers design stock products using project accounting to track engineering activities for research and development with connections
to engineering systems for part design and lifecycle management. While some ETO manufacturers may stock raw materials, many order raw materials and outside services for each job. However, the bill of materials is not defined, and production does not begin until the design is approved. New materials may be sourced using purchase requisition systems. For many manufacturers, production begins when the design and the order are approved.

This industry brief explains engineer-to-order manufacturing with an overview of ERP technologies and features. Discover how industrial and commercial equipment, automotive, aerospace and defense, electronics, and other manufacturers thrive with a modern ERP
platform designed for engineer-to-order manufacturing.
