Financial Control Built for Process Manufacturers
Most ERPs come with finance built for generic businesses. BatchMaster connects your payables, receivables, ledger, and reporting inside a single web-based platform, built for how process manufacturing actually runs.
From vendor payment runs to customer collections, from journal
entries to year-end close — one system, one source of truth,
no reconciliation between platforms.
- Real-World Finance Workflows
A Day in the Life of Your Finance Team
Most finance tools weren’t built for process manufacturing. That gap shows up every day
— in manual workarounds, stale data, and period closes that run long.
AP Manager
Your day starts with figuring out what’s due pulling a report, cross-checking it with emails, and manually flagging what needs to go out. Debit notes and write-offs become manual journal entries because there’s no dedicated place for them. By end of day, the Outstanding Payables summary for the CFO means exporting and reformatting data that should already be in one place.
- Manual payment runs
- Journal entries for every exception
- Report prep eats the day
AR Coordinator
You know who owes what but the aging report is already a day old by the time you open it. Applying receipts to the right invoices, especially partials or advances, means careful manual matching every time. When a customer disputes an invoice, resolving it without creating a mess elsewhere takes time you don’t have.
- Aging data is always stale
- Manual receipt matching
- Dispute resolution is ad hoc
Finance Controller
Your morning starts with questions you can’t answer until you’ve dug through the numbers AP, AR, and budget variance all live in different places. Period close is a checklist of things that can go wrong. Audit requests mean going back through spreadsheets and emails to reconstruct what happened and when.
- No unified view across AP AR & budget
- Period close is always a scramble
- Audit trail lives in email
- Built for Your Finance Team
How BatchMaster Supports Your Finance Team in Their Daily Work
One platform, one audit trail. When your entire finance operation runs in BatchMaster, the connections that normally take manual effort happen automatically, so your team spends less time reconciling and more time on work that matters.
-
Every Transaction Hits the GL the Moment It's Posted
AP payments, customer receipts, journal entries, and bank transactions all update the General Ledger in real time without waiting and manual sync. Your Trial Balance reflects reality at any point in the period, not just after a reconciliation.
AP AR GL Bank
-
Dimensions You Set Up Once Follow Every Transaction
Cost centers, projects, and territory tags you define once flow automatically through AP vouchers, AR invoices, journal entries, and into every report. No manual tagging after the fact, no mismatch between the transaction and the budget line it belongs to.
Finance Foundation GL Reporting
-
One Audit Trail from Source Transaction to Financial Statement
From a vendor invoice to the AP voucher to the GL journal to the bank reconciliation, every step is traceable without leaving the system. Controllers get drill-down from summary to source in two clicks. Auditors get a complete, unbroken chain without anyone compiling a spreadsheet for them.
AP AR GL Reporting
-
Period Close Becomes a Checklist, Not a Crisis
Because AP, AR, GL, and bank reconciliation all live in the same platform, every step in your close process feeds naturally into the next. Run the Trial Balance, post outstanding journals, reconcile the bank, generate statements — in order, in one system, with no data to import between steps.
GL Bank Reporting
-
Approval Workflows Keep Controls On-System
Write-off approvals, payment authorizations, and budget exception reviews route through BatchMaster's built-in workflow, not email chains or offline spreadsheets. Every approval is timestamped, traceable, and part of the audit record, whether it happens in five minutes or five days.
AP AR GL
-
Reports Pull from Live Data — No Export Required
Your Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, and Ledger reports draw from the same transactions your team posted today. No export step, no version to chase, no question about whether the numbers match what's in the system. What you see is what's there.

Receipts Tied to Every Sale
Record payments via cash, bank, or check against invoices or on-account balances. Receivables stay accurate without any manual reconciliation.

General Ledger
-
One Accurate Financial Record
The General Ledger consolidates every transaction from production, procurement, and sales into one auditable record — no imports, no duplicate entries, no truncated descriptions.

-
Full GL Description Traceability
Every GL posting carries the full batch, SOP, or transaction reference, not truncated, so audit questions are answered directly from the ledger, not someone's inbox.

What Process Manufacturers Say
Real outcomes from manufacturers who replaced disconnected accounting tools with BatchMaster. Also, this customer section is too colorful.

“If we need to drill down on something, we can do it. That level of granularity has helped us improve how we manage working capital, streamline purchasing, and rationalize our product lines."
“If anything is happening on the manufacturing side, it can automatically be transferred to the financials.It works great because it's an all-in-one solution."
Finance connects to every other module in the plant
Production runs, WIP accounting, and manufacturing costs post directly to the GL with no manual entry and no data gaps between the production floor and your books.
Lot-level inventory valuation, COGS calculations, and material usage feed directly into the GL, keeping your balance sheet accurate without month-end reconciliation headaches.
Purchase orders flow into AP with three-way PO/receipt/invoice matching, eliminating duplicate entries and ensuring every vendor payment is properly accounted for.
