OCTG Inventory Management Software
ERP Genius helps OCTG and pipe distributors manage more than an on-hand quantity. It connects inventory records with the real-world lifecycle of casing, tubing, and line pipe—including changes in condition, movements among locations, purchasing, quotes, sales orders, and supported MTR documentation.
Bought it bare. Sold it coated.
ERP Genius helps keep track of what happened in between.
Inventory Conversions for OCTG and Pipe
Pipe may be purchased in one condition and sold in another. ERP Genius makes it easy to record inventory conversions so users can identify what the material has become after processing.
- Bare pipe → coated pipe
- Plain-end pipe → threaded-and-coupled pipe
- Material sent for processing or finishing → returned in its new inventory condition
- One inventory item or condition → another inventory item or condition
These conversions help the inventory record reflect the product that is available for sale after value-added work has been completed.
Yard Movements and Transfers Among Locations
OCTG inventory may be spread across yards, warehouses, processors, and other stocking locations. ERP Genius makes it easy to record movements and transfers among those locations, helping users understand where material is held as it moves through the operation.
Example lifecycle: Receive bare pipe → move to Yard A → send for coating → convert to coated pipe → transfer to Yard B → sell and ship.
Example lifecycle: Receive plain-end pipe → send for threading and coupling → convert to threaded-and-coupled material → return to inventory → transfer location → sell and ship.
Retain Every Inventory Transaction for Easy Review
ERP Genius retains all inventory transactions in history, allowing users to review what happened to the material, when the activity occurred, and how the inventory moved through the system. Historical activity can support research into receipts, movements, transfers, conversions, adjustments, and sales after the current balance has changed.
Do not just know what you have. Know what happened to it.
Current inventory shows the present position. Retained transaction history helps explain how it got there

Dual Units of Measure
ERP Genius offers dual units of measure tracking. This is useful where tubular inventory and commercial transactions need to be understood in two measurements. Keep the public wording general unless Data Functions approves specific unit examples and conversion behavior.

Connect Inventory to Purchasing, Quotes, Orders, and MTRs
Inventory has more value when it is connected to the rest of the transaction. ERP Genius purchase orders provide inventory access and integrate with quotes and order entry. Quotes integrate with inventory and can be converted into sales orders. Order entry connects with inventory, purchasing, accounting, document imaging, and supported MTR modules.
MTRs can be attached to inventory items and sales-order line items for easy printing. MTR Genius Imaging can scan or import PDF or TIFF documents, index them with searchable tags, and retrieve them by multiple search methods.
