Manufacturing & bill of materials

If you make what you sell, Manufacturing turns raw materials into finished stock. Define a bill of materials (BoM) — the recipe for a product — then record a production run, and Finocket draws the components out of stock and adds the finished goods, valued at their rolled-up cost. It's an optional module: turn on Manufacturing under Profile → Modules first, and it builds on Inventory, so the items involved should have stock tracking on.

Define a bill of materials

On the Manufacturing screen, create a BoM for a finished product: choose the product, how many units one run yields (the output quantity), and add each component with the quantity it needs. Finocket shows the rolled-up standard cost per finished unit — the sum of the component costs — as you build it.

Record a production run

Under Production, pick a BoM, enter how many you made and the date. On save, Finocket:

• consumes the components — a negative stock movement for each raw material, scaled to how much you produced;
• adds the finished goods — a positive stock movement at the rolled-up cost, so your stock valuation stays right.

You can see every one of these movements in the product's history on the Inventory screen, labelled Manufactured and Consumed.

Good to know

The finished cost is a standard cost rolled up from each component's rate — a practical estimate, not a full work-in-progress ledger. Only stock-tracked items move; if a component or the finished product doesn't track inventory, it simply isn't counted.
