New modules: Rework and Contract Manufacturing
QT9 ERP new Rework module
Managing rework has always been one of those necessary headaches in manufacturing. With the new Rework module, that process gets a serious upgrade. ERP users can now generate and manage rework orders directly from returns, existing inventory or work in process, routing orders through controlled workflows that maintain full traceability while recovering as much value as possible.
No more workarounds. No more disconnected tracking. Just a clean, end-to-end rework process built right into the platform.
New Contract Manufacturing module
Manufacturers increasingly rely on outsourced operations, like sterilization, coating, testing, packaging and even overflow production, to stay agile and scale efficiently.
The challenge is maintaining visibility, traceability and production control while work is happening outside your facility.
QT9 ERP 2026 introduces a new Contract Manufacturing module designed to help manufacturers manage outsourced operations inside the ERP system with:
-
Centralized visibility into outsourced work
-
Connected purchasing and shipping workflows
-
Traceable production history
-
Integrated receiving back into production
-
Better control over contract manufacturing operations
Potency tracking for regulated manufacturing
New potency tracking capabilities within QT9 ERP, bring disconnected data into a unified, audit-ready environment. By embedding potency data directly into batch execution workflows—through work orders, in-process testing and electronic batch records— QT9 ERP ensures potency is continuously evaluated as part of production.
For pharmaceutical, cannabis and other regulated manufacturers, Potency Tracking lets users track potency values across production and inventory, helping support regulatory requirements and maintain product consistency.
Pair that with one-click electronic batch records (EBR), and manufacturers get faster documentation with less manual effort, providing a strong foundation for audit readiness.
Enhanced shop floor material management
QT9 ERP 2026 also introduces enhanced shop floor material management capabilities that improve visibility into material requirements and allocation.
Teams can:
-
View all open material requirements in one place
-
Print pick lists directly from the system
-
Assign materials across multiple jobs
These improvements help strengthen coordination between planning and production while ensuring materials are available where and when they are needed.
For manufacturers managing fast-moving production environments, better material visibility can help reduce delays and keep work moving efficiently across the shop floor.
New product integrations: Avalara and ShipStation
Manual data entry between systems is one of the biggest sources of errors and wasted time. QT9 ERP 2026 adds two new product integrations to help:
Avalara — Automated tax calculations handled by a trusted third-party provider, reducing manual effort and improving accuracy.
ShipStation — Enhanced shipping and fulfillment capabilities, giving your team better control over the order-to-delivery process.
Operational improvements that simplify daily work
Several updates in QT9 ERP 2026 focus on improving usability and helping teams work more efficiently throughout the day.
AI-driven Help Center
The new AI-driven Help Center provides faster access to guidance and support directly within the system.
Spanish-Language Shop Floor Capabilities
Shop Floor Management now includes Spanish-language support, helping multilingual teams operate more effectively across production environments.
Enhanced forecasting
Updated forecasting capabilities improve planning accuracy and provide better visibility into future demand.
Comparative P&L reporting
A new comparative Profit & Loss report provides side-by-side visibility into financial performance for improved operational analysis.
Together, these updates are designed to help manufacturers spend less time managing disconnected workflows and more time focusing on production.
