What you'll do day to day
The bill of materials is the costing
Signed in as a staff member, open /manufacturing?tab=boms. Open the Paracetamol 650 mg BOM: raw materials and routing roll up into one cost per unit of Paracetamol 650 mg boxes.
A work order from plan to finished stock
Signed in as a staff member, open /manufacturing?tab=workorders. One draft, one in progress, one completed - start a draft and walk it through its routing steps.
Production consumes raw, yields finished
Signed in as a staff member, open /manufacturing?tab=production. A completed run: raw material out, finished goods in at the rolled-up cost, labour from the work centres included.
Capacity by work centre
Signed in as a staff member, open /manufacturing?tab=capacity. Which work centre is the bottleneck this week, from the open work orders' routing minutes.
Batch and expiry from floor to invoice
Signed in as a staff member, open /inventory. Finished-goods stock by batch: each production run is a batch with mfg and expiry; the oldest ships first.
A tender supply, invoiced
Signed in as the owner, open /invoices. The State Health Society (HP) supplies against the tender, with TCS and batch details on every invoice.
Near-expiry and expired lots, held apart
Signed in as a staff member, open /inventory. The near-expiry list: finished strips inside 90 days of expiry, and an expired lot parked in the quarantine store, not sold.
HSN summary for GSTR-1
Signed in as the accountant, open /reports/hsn-summary. Sales by HSN: 3004 formulations at 5% and the 998843 loan-licence service line, ready for the GSTR-1 table.
A Baddi formulation plant whose batch record is its costing
Before: Batch manufacturing records on paper, cost per box estimated once a year, and batch numbers re-typed onto distributor invoices.
With Finocket: Each formulation has a BOM and a five-step routing; each production run is a batch with its expiry that carries through to the invoice.
