The Manufacture menu can be used when your product is produced or when its stock increases through the process of transforming raw materials into finished goods. A common example of a manufactured product is bakeries/cakes production. When producing bakeries/cakes, you can input all the raw materials as well as other operational costs used in the production process.

To see how to configure workflow, you can follow the steps below.

In the Manufacture menu, there are 3 different workflows for manufacturing process, they are instant, 2 steps, and 3 steps. To see how each manufacture workflow works, you can follow the steps below.

To see more detail about how to create manufacture product type, you can follow the steps on this guide: Manufactured Product Type

For example, the Wedding Cake product is having 1 qty

And the manufacture components have the following quantities: (Egg: 900, Sugar: 9000, Flour: 9000).

Click on the manufacture product and see the component details. As for producing 1 qty of Wedding cake needs 100 qty of Eggs (pcs), 1000 qty of flour (gr), and 1000 qty of sugars (gr).

When using the Instant workflow, when generating produced goods using the Manufacture menu, the raw material (manufacture's component) inventory will be deducted and the produced goods (manufacture product) inventory will be increased instantly at the same time when the job order is created.

Follow the steps below to see how to configure the instant workflow and how the instant workflow works when creating a Job order for the manufacture product type:

Select the Outlet where you want to produce the manufacture product

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

The Wedding Cake inventory will show 2 quantity after You create the job order.

And for each product that serves as the component of the manufactured product will be reduced according to the quantity required to produce 1 unit of that manufactured product.

Go back to the Part I of this article and reconfigure the Job Order Workflow as 2 Steps

For example, the Wedding Cake product is currently having 2 qty

And the manufacture components have the following quantities: (Egg: 800, Sugar: 8000, Flour: 8000).

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

Currently, the stock of the Wedding Cake product is still 2 and has not increased yet.

And when You check the stock of the products that are used as components of the manufactured product, their stock has already been reduced and deducted.

This happens because You are currently using the 2-step job order workflow, where the manufactured product stock will only increase after you perform Finish Order in the Manufacture menu.

When you open the Manufacture menu, the previously created job order number will show a state labeled InProgress. This state indicates that the job order process is still in the processing stage.

At the InProgress stage, the products used as components of the manufactured product have already been deducted, but the manufactured product itself has not yet increased.

When you check the stock of the Wedding Cake again, the stock of the product has increased to 3.

Go back to the Part I of this article and reconfigure the Job Order Workflow as 3 Steps

For example, the Wedding Cake product is currently having 3 qty

And the manufacture components have the following quantities: (Egg: 700, Sugar: 7000, Flour: 7000).

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

Currently, the stock of the Wedding Cake product is still 3 and has not increased yet.

And when you check the stock of the products used as components of the manufactured product, their stock has not yet been reduced or deducted.

This happens because You are currently using the 3-step job order workflow. When using the 3-step job order workflow, there is a step required to start deducting the components of the manufactured product after you create the job order, which is the Execute Plan step. You can perform Execute Plan on the job order number that was previously created. After that, you need to perform Finish Order to start increasing the stock of the manufactured product.

When you open the Manufacture menu, the previously created job order number will show a state labeled Scheduled. This state indicates that the job order process is still in the processing stage.

At the Scheduled stage, the products used as components of the manufactured product has not yet been reduced or deducted and the manufactured product itself has not yet increased.

Note: If the job order status in Manufacture is still at the Scheduled stage and Execute Plan has not been performed yet, the manufacture job order can still be edited.

The stock of the Wedding Cake product is still 3 and has not increased yet.

And when You check the stock of the products that are used as components of the manufactured product, their stock has already been reduced and deducted after You execute plan the job order.

When you check the stock of the Wedding Cake again, the stock of the product has increased to 4.
