Materials in, finished goods out, and what each one cost.
Build materials lists with scrap and by-products, run work orders from release to close, and know what each finished unit cost in materials, labour and overhead. Every output lot traces back to its suppliers.
Three classic problems, solved
Reorder points and purchase orders on time.
Bills of materials and production runs cost each finished product.
Landed cost adds freight and duty to the stock value.
Work orders from release to close.
Releasing a work order reserves its materials, so a shortfall shows at once. Record output as it happens, and close the order to see the variance.
- Materials lists with scrap %, by-products and labour time
- Issue as you go, or take materials automatically when output is recorded
- A quick make for small batches
| Order | Product | Made | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| WO-0091 | Juice 500 ml | 0 / 2,000 | Released |
| WO-0092 | Juice 1 L | 1,200 / 2,000 | In progress |
| WO-0089 | Juice 500 ml | 1,980 / 2,000 | Closed |
The real cost of every unit.
Each finished unit is costed from the materials actually used, labour and overhead at your work centres' rates, less the value of by-products.
- Planned against actual, in quantity and value
- Work in progress in Books agrees with the floor
- Landed cost adds freight and duty to imported materials
| Line | Planned | Actual |
|---|---|---|
| Materials | 182,000 | 186,400 |
| Labour | 24,000 | 25,500 |
| Overhead | 12,000 | 12,000 |
| Cost per unit | 110 | 113 |

Every lot traced, for any recall.
Output lots carry the day they were made and their expiry. A lot that needs tests waits on hold until it passes. Trace any lot forward to customers or back to suppliers.
- Quality tests on output lots
- Serial numbers for finished goods that need them
- A trace report from raw material to customer
