Production

Production: create a reliable manufacturing value from many costs

A manufactured item does not become a plausible price by simply entering an amount. Its value comes from components, production steps, time and resources. X-ERP maps this structure in the item and adopts it when creating a production order.

Which values work together?

• Production components: Material and intermediate items with quantity factor. For the evaluation, X-ERP uses their current cost price divided by the respective price unit.
• Production steps: Arrange activities and their dependent components in the order of production.
• Resources: Machines or employees with a stored rate; Standard resources are included in the production order.
• Production time: Time items and quantity factors make it possible to plan duration and costs.
• Item costing of the final product: The procurement price, factor and surcharges condense the released cost base to the cost price.

The crucial time

When creating a production order, X-ERP transfers the costs of the components to the production items. This creates a comprehensible calculation basis for this order. You should not mix later changes to the component master with production that has already begun; Instead, consciously compare target, current value and actual costs.

How to inspect a manufactured item

1. Open the product structure and check each component including the quantity factor.
2. Control production steps, dependent items and standard resources.
3. Check the cost price and price unit of all components.
4. Create a test production order.
5. Compare planned quantities and costs with the item costing of the final product.
6. Document when and by whom the calculation was approved.

Check before sharing

• No necessary component is missing.
• Quantity factors and price units are correct.
• Resources are active and have a plausible set.
• Production time and order correspond to the actual process.
• Component cost costs are current.
• A test order shows complete positions and plausible costs.

Practical benefits

A reliable production calculation shows early on whether materials, time or resources change the margin. This makes price management an aid to decision-making - not a subsequent explanation of a loss.
