Step by step
- Open Manufacturing > Productions and press New.
- Choose the Product Location (After Prod.) where the made product is kept and the Ingredient Stock Location the ingredients are taken from; these lists are shown when you have warehouses. Check the Date.
- Select the Product. Its process loads the ingredients with Stock Location, Input Quantity, Unit Cost (Exc. Tax) and Subtotal.
- Enter the Output Quantity: the ingredient quantities change in the same ratio. Enter any Wasted Quantity; the Final Output Quantity is what goes into stock.
- Enter the Additional Production Cost (open Cost Breakdown to split it into labour, electricity, packaging and other). Press Add By-product if the run gives extra items; their value lowers the cost.
- Under Pricing & Others choose the Unit Tax, check the Unit Cost, set the Profit Margin or the Unit Price, and add the Lot Number, Batch No and Expire Date if needed.
- Set Status to Final to update the stock, or to Hold to save only. Press Save or Save & Print.
Good to know
- An ingredient quantity cannot be more than the stock at the Ingredient Stock Location; the row then shows how much is available.
- Net Production Cost = ingredient cost + additional cost - by-product value. The Unit Cost is this divided by the Final Output Quantity.
- With Final status and no warehouse chosen for the made product, the software asks you to confirm before saving.
- When General Settings > Manufacturing Settings > Update Product Cost And Selling Price Based On Net Cost is Yes, a Final production also updates the cost and selling price of the product.
- The Date can be changed only by a user who has the permission for it.
