Connect Purchasing, Production and Finished Stock
Manufacturing businesses need to understand both the materials available before production and the finished stock available afterward. RetailMan ERP System connects purchasing and inventory with an optional Manufacturing module for recipe-based production.
Prepare materials before production
Use supplier purchasing and stock reports to understand the ingredients or components on hand. Recipes define the quantities needed for finished products, providing a reference for production preparation.
Record conversion into finished goods
Create production orders from recipes and follow the configured status and quality-control workflow. Production consumes ingredients and produces finished goods, connecting the workshop activity with stock records.
Review costs across the production cycle
Inspect ingredient costs and enabled labour and overhead entries, then use manufacturing reports to review output and wastage. Warehouse operations can be added where material and finished-goods storage need separate organization.
A connected business workflow
- Receive raw materials and check the recipe requirements against stock.
- Record production quantities and costs through the Manufacturing module.
- Review finished stock and production reports before the next production or sales cycle.
Example use case
A producer of packaged goods can receive ingredients, manufacture a finished batch and review the resulting stock for sale. Recipe and production records describe the conversion, while purchasing explains the incoming materials.
