Small manufacturing
From raw material to finished stock without a notebook
For small workshops and units that make or assemble products and need materials, production and sales to agree with each other.
How this business works
What makes it hard, and what helps
Recipes live in heads
A Bill of Materials writes down what goes into each product so every batch uses the same quantities.
Material runs out mid-order
Raw material is ordinary stock. Low-stock alerts warn you before the next batch is short.
Wastage is real
Production orders allow for wastage and scrap percentages, so consumption reflects what is actually lost.
Selling what you make
Finished goods land in stock and are sold through the same POS and invoices.
In practice

Raise a purchase order and receive raw material into stock.
Run production
