Manufacturing
From the recipe to the finished goods, and what each run cost.
Write down how each product is made, and let a planning run propose what to make and what to buy. Release the work orders, and let the operators report each step from the machine. Each run then shows what it should have cost and what it did.
What it does
Say how each product is made
A bill of materials lists the components, the by-products and the scrap that one unit takes. A routing lists the operations that make it, and the work centers that run them. Every later step reads these two.
Plan what to make and what to buy
A planning run sets your sales orders against what you hold and what is on its way. It proposes the work orders and purchases still missing, and you promote the ones you want. If a need falls due within seven days, it proposes nothing by default and tells you to speed up an existing order.
Run the work order, from release to close
Releasing a work order reserves the components it can and freezes its standard cost. You issue components, report operations and record scrap against it. Each report on the last operation puts the finished goods into stock.
Report from the machine
Operators open their work center's queue on the device beside the machine, and they start, pause and complete each operation there. Each press carries the operator's name, so the app fills in the labour hours.
Know what each run really cost
The app freezes the standard cost when you release the order, and the actual cost runs up with each issue and each report. When the order completes, the app records the difference for material, labour and overhead.
Works with
Inventory
A work order takes its components from the warehouse it names, and its finished goods enter stock as the last operation is reported.
Procurement
A purchase that a planning run proposes becomes a purchase requisition when you promote it.
Sales
Sales orders are the demand a planning run plans for, and each proposal shows the orders it serves.
