Manufacturing Management Software, from Raw Materials to Finished Goods

Run production and manufacturing end to end in iCore ERP, with production management covering bills of materials, production orders, work centres and costs, in one manufacturing ERP that links raw-material issue to finished goods entering inventory.

Bills of materials and recipes

Define bills of materials and manufacturing recipes for each product, and manage their versions so you know which list applies at every stage of a product’s life.

  • Bills of materials
  • Manufacturing recipes
  • BOM version management

Product costing

Calculate product cost inside the system instead of separate spreadsheets, so pricing and production decisions rest on clear numbers.

  • Product cost
  • Planned cost

Production orders and approval

Create production orders and approve them before work starts, so production follows a clear plan with clear responsibility.

  • Create production orders
  • Approve production orders

Work centres

Manage the work centres where manufacturing happens, and organise production by centre.

  • Define work centres
  • Production by work centre

Raw-material issue

Issue raw materials from inventory to production orders, so material balances match what was actually consumed.

  • Issue materials to an order
  • Inventory updated

Production stage tracking

Follow the stages of every production order and see how far production has progressed at any time.

  • Production stages
  • Order status

Output quantities and scrap

Record the quantities produced and the scrap for each production order, to measure efficiency and see how much is lost.

  • Quantities produced
  • Scrap recorded

Finished goods into inventory

Add finished goods to inventory after production, ready to sell in the same system.

  • Finished goods receipt
  • Directly linked to inventory

Actual cost and production variances

Compare actual cost with planned cost and analyse production variances to find their causes and fix them.

  • Actual vs planned
  • Production variance analysis

Related journal entries

Production is linked to its journal entries, so inventory and accounts stay consistent with what happens on the shop floor.

  • Linked journal entries
  • Inventory and accounts connected

Production, cost and profitability reports

Review production, cost and profitability reports to evaluate manufacturing performance and make sharper decisions.

  • Production reports
  • Cost reports
  • Profitability reports
Frequently asked questions

Production & manufacturing: frequently asked questions

Does iCore support bills of materials (BOM)?

Yes. iCore lets you define bills of materials and manufacturing recipes and manage BOM versions.

How does iCore handle product costing?

iCore calculates product cost, compares actual with planned cost and analyses production variances, with cost and profitability reports.

How does production affect inventory?

Raw materials are issued from inventory to production orders, and finished goods are added to inventory after production.

Can I record scrap in production?

Yes. You record the quantities produced and the scrap for each production order.

Is production connected to accounting?

Yes. Production is linked to its journal entries in the same system that runs inventory and accounts.
