MANUFACTURING – MES
Create and track a production order
A production order turns a plan into work on the shop floor. Apus tracks progress in real time and reconciles material consumption as it happens.
Issue the order
- Go to Manufacturing → Production orders → Create order.
- Select the finished product, the quantity and the BOM/routing to apply.
- Issue materials per the BOM from the designated warehouse.
Record on the shop floor
Operators report progress at each operation; the data flows straight back to the production order. Managers see status in real time instead of waiting for an end-of-day summary.
Complete & reconcile
When finished goods are received into stock, Apus reconciles actual consumption against the BOM and records the variance — data that flows straight into costing and inventory.
TIP
Track actual-vs-standard consumption variance weekly — it's an early indicator of waste or a BOM that needs updating.
