Production and BOM

Manufacturing orders that match the shop floor

One order, eleven tabs, and no separate register on the supervisor desk.

In short

A bill of materials becomes a manufacturing order, and the order carries the whole job: operations and routing, raw material issue and return, quality checks, finished goods, machine log, tools, scrap, activity, a daily report and comments. Job work orders go out to a vendor and come back against the same order.

How it works

A plan, a shop floor, and a QC gate that means it

The value of production in an ERP is not the order screen. It is that material, labour, quality and stock move on one record, so the cost of a batch is known while it is still being made.

What happensDemand is planned into quantities and dates, against capacity and the stock you already hold.What it carries inSales orders, forecast and the current stock balance.
And all of this is already true
Consumption and stock cannot driftIssues are drawn against the order, so the shop floor and the godown read the same number.
Cost per batch is known as it runsMaterial issued, at the value it was issued at, plus the operations logged against it.
QC gates the close, not a checklistThe product refuses to close an order while an inspection on it is open.
Traceability runs both waysFrom the finished batch back to the supplier lot, and forward to the customer it shipped to.

  1. The manufacturing order is the whole job

    A supervisor should not need a register, a whiteboard and a WhatsApp group to know where a job stands.

  2. Material issue, return and honest variance

    Material is issued against the order, and whatever is not consumed is returned rather than quietly written off.

  3. Job work that stays on the same order

    Plating, printing, heat treatment and packing often happen outside your own plant.

Questions

Production: what buyers ask

Not today. Unnati plans production orders and checks material availability against stock, but a full material requirements planning run that explodes demand across a horizon is on the roadmap. If MRP is central to your operation, please tell us before you sign up so we can be honest about the fit.
