Manufacturing & Factory
Manufacturing & factory: MRP/BOM, MES/shop-floor, quality, costing, maintenance, master data.
Challenges
- The bill of materials lives in Excel, so cost never updates when raw-material prices change.
- Work-center capacity is invisible, so delivery dates are promised on guesswork.
- Work-in-progress stock is not tracked, so nobody knows what sits in intermediate inventory.
- Planned and actual production costs are never compared.
Workflows
From order to production order
- The customer order is linked to the bill of materials and the material requirement is derived.
- A purchase request is opened for the missing raw material.
- The production order is opened with work center and operation routing.
From production to cost
- Operation start and finish are recorded at the work center.
- Consumed raw materials and semi-finished goods post to the production order.
- Actual cost is compared with the plan and the variance is reported.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I compute cost from the bill of materials?
Yes — as raw-material prices change, finished-goods cost and margin update automatically.
Can I see work-center capacity?
Yes — open production orders show on the work-center calendar, and the load backs up your delivery promise.
Can I keep semi-finished goods in stock?
Yes — intermediate output is received into stock on its own item card and consumed by the next order.
Can I compare plan against actual?
Yes — consumption and times on the production order are reported against the plan.
Can I measure scrap separately?
Yes — scrap posts to the production order as its own line and shows separately in the rate report.
