The manufacturing module

Bills of materials, work orders and the real cost of every batch.

Write down what a product is made of once. PrimoERP plans the materials, runs the work order and costs what you made from what it really used, on the same stock and books.

Does the production floor look like this?

be honest

  • The recipe lives in one person’s head.

    Or on a sheet taped to the wall. When it changes, half the floor is still making the old one.

  • You find out you’re short on the day.

    A work order starts, and a component that should have been ordered last week isn’t there.

  • Nobody knows what a batch really cost.

    Prices come from an old estimate, because the cost of what was used is buried in purchase bills.

One batch, from materials to unit cost.

An illustration: 500 tins of paint, costed from the stock the work order drew.

Nobody works this out after the batch. It is the total of what the work order really used.

An illustration with round numbers and no currency, materials only. Each material is valued the way you value your stock: FIFO, weighted average or standard cost.

Everything production needs, on the same books.

Bills of materials
What each product is made of, in what quantity, and the steps to make it. Change it in one place, and every new work order follows.
Materials planned before you run short
From what you plan to make and what is already in stock, PrimoERP works out which materials you need and by when, so you can buy in time.
Work orders from start to finish
Each work order says what to make, how many and from what. Materials are issued against it, and what you made goes into stock when it is done.
Work in progress, in the books
Materials issued to a work order move from raw material to work in progress in the ledger by themselves. Half-made goods are never invisible.
The real cost of each batch
Each material is valued the way you value your stock: FIFO, weighted average or standard cost. A batch costs what it really used, not an old estimate.
Batches and expiry dates
Materials can carry batch numbers and expiry dates from the day they arrive. If you choose, an expired component can’t be issued to a work order.

What does the manufacturing module do?

It keeps your bills of materials, plans the materials you need and runs work orders from issue to finished stock. It shares stock and books with the rest of PrimoERP, so every batch is costed from what it really used.
