The Manufacturing module manages the conversion of raw materials into finished goods — tracking production runs, bills of materials, and feeding completed output back into Inventory.

​
What Manufacturing owns

  • Production runs — individual manufacturing orders with status and output tracking
  • Bills of materials (BOM) — the recipe of components required to produce each finished product

Common tasks

​
Create a bill of materials

1

Open Manufacturing → Bills of Materials → New BOM

2

Select the finished product

Choose the item from your Inventory catalogue that this BOM will produce.
3

Add components

Add each raw material or sub-assembly required, with the quantity needed per unit of output.
4

Set yield

Enter the expected output quantity per production run (e.g. 1 BOM produces 100 units).
5

Save

The BOM is now available to use when creating production runs.

​
Start a production run

1

Open Manufacturing → Production Runs → New Run

2

Select the BOM

Choose the bill of materials for the product you are manufacturing.
3

Set the quantity

Enter how many units you want to produce in this run.
4

Confirm

Click Start Production. Raw materials are reserved from Inventory automatically.
5

Track progress

Move the run through stages: Planned → In Progress → Quality Check → Completed.

​
Complete a production run

1

Open the production run → click Mark Complete

2

Enter actual output

Record how many finished units were produced. If this differs from the planned quantity, the yield variance is calculated.
3

Confirm

Finished goods are automatically added to Inventory. Raw materials consumed are deducted.

​
Key features

Bills of materials — Define components and quantities needed to produce each product. BOMs are versioned to track changes over time. Production runs — Reserve raw materials, track work-in-progress, and post finished goods back to Inventory on completion. Production status — Track runs through: Planned → In Progress → Quality Check → Completed. Yield tracking — Record actual vs expected output to identify waste and inefficiencies.
