Record a Manufacturing Entry

A Manufacturing Entry records an actual production run. When you create one, you either select a pre-defined recipe or enter materials manually, then specify how many units you are producing. Stock Register auto-calculates the raw material quantities needed, deducts them from your inventory, and adds the finished goods to stock. This is the key action that converts raw materials into sellable products in your system. Record an entry every time your factory or workshop completes a production batch.

Steps

  1. Navigate to Manufacturing > Manufacturing Entry.
  2. Click "+ New Manufacturing Entry".
  3. Select an existing Recipe/BOM or enter details manually.
  4. Enter the Quantity being manufactured.
  5. Raw material quantities are auto-calculated based on the recipe.
  6. Review: raw materials will be deducted and finished goods will be added to stock.
  7. Click "Save" to record the manufacturing entry.

Tip: Always verify the auto-calculated material quantities before saving. If stock for any raw material is insufficient, you will need to purchase or adjust before proceeding.
