A BOM that IS the costing, a work order that consumes raw material and yields finished stock at a landed cost nobody had to reconstruct, and routing across work centres on the same books as the billing.

What you'll do day to day
The BOM is the costing
Signed in as a staff member, open /manufacturing?tab=boms. The CNC turned shaft: 105 kg of MS bar and tool inserts per 100 pieces, with turning, machining and QC routing, rolled into a cost per piece.
A work order from plan to finished stock
Signed in as a staff member, open /manufacturing?tab=workorders. One completed, one in progress with its first step booked, and drafts planned for the next fortnight.
Production draws raw, yields finished
Signed in as a staff member, open /manufacturing?tab=production. A month's run: bar stock out, shafts in at the rolled-up cost including machine time.
Which machine is the bottleneck
Signed in as a staff member, open /manufacturing?tab=capacity. Load on the CNC turning centre and the VMC against their daily capacity.
Job-work outsourced, with TDS
Signed in as the accountant, open /expenses. Heat treatment and plating bills from job workers with TDS under 194C.
A Coimbatore job-shop that knows the cost of every shaft
Before: Costing done once a year in a spreadsheet, machine time never charged to the job, and raw material issued on paper.
With Finocket: Every part has a BOM and routing; a production run draws the bar stock and books the finished parts at material plus machine time.
