Accounts · Making

What went in,
and what it cost.

A bill of materials per item, an explosion that walks it down through its components, and work orders that issue materials, hold work in progress and complete into costed finished goods.

Light manufacturing, in the accounting engine. Not an MRP system — the parts a business that assembles or produces actually needs in its books.

The recipe

A bill of materials, and what it explodes into.

BOM per itemWhat a finished item is made of, held against the item rather than in a document somebody maintains.
ExplosionWalks the bill down through its levels, so you can see the full component requirement rather than only the top layer.
The work order

Issue, progress, complete.

Issue materialsComponents leave stock against the order, so work in progress is a real balance rather than an assumption.
Work in progressWhat has been consumed but not yet finished is a position you can see and report on.
Costed outputCompletion moves the accumulated cost into finished goods, giving the output a cost that came from what was actually consumed.
Cancel an orderCancellation reverses what was issued rather than leaving materials stranded in WIP.
The simple case

Quick builds, for a kit assembled in one go.

Build in one stepFor assembly that does not need a work order — consume the components and create the output as one movement.

Cost that came from consumption.

The finished item is worth what went into it, because what went into it was recorded as it went in.
