Manufacturing

Raw material, production and finished stock disagree

A small plant often has stock that is “about right” until a customer order cannot be filled and the store still shows the raw material as present. The floor used it. Nobody wrote the issue.

The problem on the ground

The store issues material because the supervisor asked. The slip is written later, or the slip is written and the floor uses a different lot. Finished goods are counted when the truck is loaded. In between, the plant is running on memory.

A quality reject makes it worse. Pieces are scrapped on the floor and still sit in the finished-goods number the office quoted to a buyer.

The inventory system follows the job. Material is issued to it. Finished quantity, including rejects, is received from it. Dispatch sells what was received, not what someone hoped was made.

Setup

Items, stores and the first production orders

What keeps breaking

Material leaves the store without an issue, so the book still shows it as available.

The floor and the store count the same item differently.

Finished goods are known only when a truck is loaded.

Rejects stay in the good quantity until someone notices at dispatch.

A rush order is promised from stock that was already issued to another job.

How the software closes it

A production order is the job material is issued to.

The store balance falls when the issue is saved, not when someone remembers at night.

Finished quantity is received against that order before dispatch can sell it.

Rejects are a quantity on the order, separate from goods you can ship.

A new promise is checked against what is free, not against what was purchased last month.

How a setup actually runs

Week 1

Items and stores

Raw, packing and finished. Opening stock is a count, not last year’s sheet.

Week 2

One live order

Issue, make, receive. The old slip is compared before you stop using it.

Week 3

Dispatch

Sales leave the finished store that production received into.

Later

A second line

Another product uses the same stores once the first order matches the floor.

Questions this industry asks

Do we have to barcode every item on day one?

No. Many plants start with item names and quantities the store already uses. Barcodes help when the names are too similar. They are not a condition for the first order.

Can we run this beside Tally?

Yes. The plant record is the issue and the receipt. Your accountant can keep Tally for the books. We do not ask you to throw away the accounts on day one.

What if the floor will not enter data?

The entry is the issue and the finished count, which someone already writes on a slip. We put that slip on the order. If the floor will not write it at all, software will not invent the truth.

How do we judge the demo?

Bring one product you make often and the last time the store and the floor disagreed. We enter that job. You should see where the quantity left the book.
