Build Products

Build Products covers everything from purchasing raw materials through manufacturing, production tracking, and inventory management.

Items

Define the objects you buy, make, and sell. Items are the foundation for every other workflow.

• Items overview: materials, parts, and products, plus units, unit groups, and categories
• Materials: raw inputs purchased from vendors
• Parts: intermediate items manufactured during production
• Products: finished goods you price, stock, and sell

Purchasing

Procure materials from suppliers and track deliveries through to inventory.

• Suppliers: vendor records and supplier-material links
• Purchase orders: order lifecycle from estimate through fulfillment
• Deliveries & receiving: track arrivals and stock materials into inventory

BOMs

Define your manufacturing process with production steps instead of traditional bills of materials.

• Production steps: the core building block: inputs, outputs, labor, and overhead per stage
• Consumptions & productions: what goes in and what comes out at each step
• Production flows: the connected sequence of steps from raw materials to finished products
• Costing (COGS): real-time cost of goods sold from step definitions

Production

Execute manufacturing with production runs, batches, and batch operations.

• Production runs: coordinated manufacturing executions linked to sales orders
• Batches: physical units tracked through production with quantity and quality grading
• Batch operations: initialize, move, split, and merge actions that advance batches

Scanning

Track batches on the production floor with scanning stations and labels.

• Scanning stations: configured operation points linked to production steps
• Labels: batch identification labels in two formats and four sizes

Inventory

Track every unit through receipts, issues, and allocations with full audit trail.

• Inventory overview: receipts, issues, allocations, and available-to-promise
• Storage locations & lots: hierarchical storage and batch-level traceability
• Inventory change logs: complete audit trail of every movement
• Reconciliation & bulk updates: correct counts when system and reality diverge
