Owlchemy FactoryWize
Works orders, bills of material and the true cost of a production run — with stock and work in progress valued into Xero as the run moves, not at month end.
You know what it sold for. You are guessing what it cost
The quote used last year's material price, the run took three shifts instead of two, and the offcuts were never booked back. The invoice goes out anyway. FactoryWize closes the loop between what a job was quoted at and what it actually consumed, while there is still time to price the next one properly.
A works order that knows what it consumed
Issue against a bill of material, record what was actually drawn, and see the variance against the standard before the job is invoiced rather than after.
- Multi-level bills of material
- Actual versus standard consumption
- Labour and machine time on the order
- Scrap and rework booked, not absorbed
Stock that moves when the floor moves
Raw material, work in progress and finished goods are three states of the same item, and a run moves value between them. The balance sheet follows the floor instead of trailing it.
- Raw, WIP and finished valued separately
- Batch and lot traceability end to end
- Stock takes against live counts
- Journals posted to Xero per movement
A recipe that knows what a batch costs
Every product carries its recipe, its yield and the cost of one batch at the stated quantity. That figure comes from the lines, not from a standard somebody set when the machine was new.
- Multi-level recipes, assembly and disassembly
- Batch cost against the stated yield
- Cost rebuilt as input prices move
- The same recipe the works order issues against
