Manufacturing Reporting

Manufacturing Analysis

Go to Manufacturing > Reporting > Manufacturing Analysis. Pivot table with:

• Dimensions: Product, BOM, Work Center, Operation, Vendor (for subcontracting), Date.
• Measures: Quantity Produced, Planned Quantity, Duration (hours), Cost, Scrap Quantity.
• Filters: Order Status, Date Range, Product Category.

Cost Analysis

Open a completed MO → Cost Analysis button. See:

• Raw Material Cost - Sum of all consumed components - cost price.
• Operation Cost - Time spent at each work center - hourly cost.
• Total Cost - Material + Operations.
• Unit Cost - Total Cost / Quantity Produced.

Work Center Performance

Go to Reporting > Work Center Performance. See for each work center:

• Planned hours vs actual hours.
• OEE percentage.
• Load rate (scheduled hours / available hours).
• Number of MOs processed.

Best Practices

• Review work center load weekly to avoid bottlenecks.
• Track scrap percentage per product to identify quality issues.
• Compare actual vs planned costs to improve BOM accuracy.
• Use OEE to identify underperforming work centers.

Work Centers

Go to Manufacturing > Master Data > Work Centers. A work center is a machine, workstation, or production line.

Work Center Fields

Routings

Go to Manufacturing > Master Data > Routings. A routing defines the sequence of operations.

1. Click Create.
2. Reference - Routing name.
3. Add Operations:

• Sequence (1, 2, 3...) - Execution order.
• Work Center - Where this operation is performed.
• Duration - Time per unit.
• Duration Type - Fixed (regardless of quantity) or Per Unit.
• Start/Next Operation - For parallel or divergent flows.
• Default - If "Quantity" is set, it defaults as next operation.

Work Center Load View

Go to Reporting > Work Center Performance. See the scheduled vs actual load. Identify bottlenecks. Color-coded: green (under 80% load), yellow (80-100%), red (overloaded).

Manufacturing Orders

Go to Manufacturing > Operations > Manufacturing Orders.

Creating an MO

1. Click Create.
2. Product - Finished good to produce.
3. Quantity - Number of units.
4. BOM - Auto-selected if only one BOM exists for the product.
5. Routing - Auto-selected from BOM.
6. Deadline Start - When production should begin.
7. Deadline End - When production should be complete.
8. Source Document - Auto-filled if created from sales order or reorder.
9. Click Save.

MO Lifecycle

Confirming & Starting Production

1. Click Confirm Production - Reserves raw materials.
2. Click Plan - Assigns work orders to work centers.
3. Click Start Production - Begins the first operation.
4. Operators record time per operation.
5. Click Record Components to register component consumption (if consuming manually).
6. When all operations done, click Produce - The MO is completed.
7. Finished goods appear in the WH/Stock location.

Work Orders

Each routing operation creates a work order. Open MO → Work Orders tab. Each work order shows:

• Assigned work center and operator.
• Scheduled start and end.
• Components consumed at this operation.
• Actual duration vs planned.

Mark each work order as done by clicking the Complete Last Operation button on the MO.
