The Manufacture feature will be very useful for you if you buy raw materials and want to manage them into finished products, such as a bakery/cake shop, furniture store (own production), etc. We can also calculate the service expenses in the process from managing raw materials in the Manufacture menu.

In the Manufacture menu, there are 2 different workflows for manufacturing process, they are instant and with planning. This article will explain the difference between instant workflow and workflow with planning when creating a manufacturing job order.

For example, the Cake product is having 1 qty

Select the Outlet where you want to add stock from the manufacturing product

After you input the Manufacturing product (Cake) into the Output list, a list of products that serve as Inputs (materials) will appear

Cake stock will show 1 quantity until the user executes the job order plan on the manufacture (same as they were before the job order was created).

When using workflow with a plan, stocks in materials and manufactured products remain the same as they were before the job order was created. You must execute the plan if you want to add stock to the manufacturing product.

When you enter the Manufacture menu, you will see a list of job orders that you have previously created. You can differentiate which job orders have been processed and which haven't based on their state. If they are still in the planning stage, they will be marked as 'Plan,' and if they are completed, they will be marked as 'Completed.'

Click the number of the Previous Planned Job Order to see the Job order detail

Cake stock will show a 2 quantity (increase by one) after the you executes the plan.

For example, the Cake product is now having 2 qty

Select the Outlet where you want to add stock from the manufacturing product

Cake stock will instantly showing 3 quantity (increased by one) after you submit the job order.
