What is Manufacture?
Manufacture is a plan feature for producing finished goods from raw materials — define a Bill Of Material (BOM), raise Manufacture Orders, run Start Manufacturing, then review Material Consumption and Production Cost reports.
View featureBill Of Material (BOM)
A BOM defines how one finished product is built — which raw materials and quantities are required — so Manufacture Orders and Start Manufacturing know exactly what to consume.
View featureStart Manufacturing
Start Manufacturing runs a pending Manufacture Order — choose finish product and BOM, enter quantity and date, add labor/overhead, confirm materials, then save production cost.
View featureMaterial Consumption & Production Cost
After Start Manufacturing, use Material Consumption (Planned vs Actual vs Variance) and Production Cost (Material, Labor, Overhead, Cost Per Unit). Finished items with a manufacture plan also show Product Cost on the Item.
