What you get

Bills of materials

Components with planned waste, plus labour and overhead lines, and a standard cost if you keep one.

Production orders

Planned, released, in progress, completed: instant for simple builds, through work in process for longer runs.

Batch completion

Finish an order in batches; each one moves materials out and finished goods in.

Standard and actual cost

See where actual cost left the standard: materials, labour or overhead.

Disassembly

Take a finished item apart into its components, at cost.

Questions

Which reports are there?

Manufacturing variance, the production register, cost of goods manufactured and material consumption.

Can I build from several warehouses?

Each order draws from one warehouse and puts the finished goods into one.

Is it a fit for a large plant?

It fits small and medium workshops. A plant that schedules machines by the hour needs a planning tool beside it.

Who uses this

In Qatar

A production order's cost is the materials, labour and overhead on its bill of materials, moved into stock at weighted average, with no VAT on any of it. Where a process or formula is licensed from abroad, the royalty or technical fee paid to a non-resident licensor is among the payments that carry 5 % withholding, so record it on the bill. Each completed batch posts to the ledger. Production and stock come with Growth, QAR 108 a month, and Premium.
