Manufacturing Orders
Release production runs against BOMs with stage-by-stage progress.
Release production runs against BOMs with planned quantities and dates. Track stage-by-stage progress, record actual material consumption and labour hours, and close batches with a full cost summary.
How Manufacturing Orders actually works.
A manufacturing order is the live execution of a BOM. Pipetal tracks every stage, every material issue, every labour log, every output, in one record from start to finish.
When the order closes, you get a full actual-vs-plan cost variance, what you thought it would cost vs what it actually cost. Over time, this is how you fix process inefficiencies that quietly bleed margin.
Inside Manufacturing Orders.
Release against BOM
Pick BOM, plan qty, plan date, manufacturing order is created with all stages laid out.
Stage-by-stage tracking
Each stage has its own status: in-progress, complete, on-hold.
Actual material & labour
Capture actual material issued and labour hours per stage. Variance vs BOM is captured.
Real-time cost view
Cost-to-date is computed on every material issue and labour log.
Plan vs actual
Plan completion date vs actual, tracked per stage and at order level.
Variance reports
Material variance, labour variance, yield variance, captured per order and rolled up.
Where Manufacturing Orders sits in the production flow.
A mill cuts material variance from 4% to 0.8% with stage-level tracking.
Before Pipetal, material variance was a single end-of-month number, hard to act on. With stage-level tracking, the floor manager sees that one specific stage is consistently over-issuing 6%. He retrains the operator, replaces a faulty weighbridge, and material variance drops to under 1%. On 50 tons of monthly production, that is 4 lac of saved raw material.
What buyers usually ask.
Yes, multi-machine orders are supported with per-machine sub-batches.
You log scrap with reason; the system reduces the expected output and adjusts the cost roll-up.
Yes, short-close is supported with a reason and an updated cost variance.
