Manufacturing

From bill of materials to finished goods

Define what a product is made of, plan what to build, and let the consumption of raw materials and the arrival of finished goods post themselves.

What you get

Bills of materials, including sub-assemblies

Model what a product is actually made of, nested as deep as it really goes, with costs rolling up the tree.

Work orders that move stock

Issuing materials and receiving finished goods are real stock movements, so work in progress is visible rather than assumed.

Production planning from demand

Turn sales orders and reorder levels into a production plan, with shortages surfaced before the floor is idle.

Capacity and workstations

Route operations through workstations with their own capacity, so a plan reflects what the floor can actually absorb.

Real production cost

Materials and operations roll into the cost of the finished item, which is what makes product-level margin trustworthy.

Scrap and rework recorded

Losses are posted rather than absorbed silently, so yield is something you can measure and argue about with data.

FAQ

Common questions

Can a BOM contain sub-assemblies?

Yes, bills of materials nest, and costs roll up through the tree so a finished item reflects everything beneath it.

Does production update stock automatically?

Yes. Issuing raw materials and receiving finished goods are stock movements, so work in progress and on-hand figures stay current.

Can I plan production from sales demand?

Yes, sales orders and reorder levels can drive a production plan that flags material shortages before work starts.
