Orders that consume components and stock finished goods
Create an order for a product and quantity, load its bill of material, and move it through Confirmed, Approved, In Process, and Done. Starting the order consumes components from stock; finishing it adds the finished product.
Built for
- Production managers — Plan orders, approve them, and see which are in process or done.
- Shop floor supervisors — Start orders when components are available and close them when the product is made.
- Inventory controllers — Watch component stock fall and finished stock rise as orders run.
- Cost accountants — Read components and cost per unit for every completed order.
What Manufacturing Orders does inside ERPS X
Manufacturing Orders is the execution application of the Manufacturing department in ERPS X ERPS. An order names the product and quantity to make, the bill of material to follow, a scheduled date, the responsible person, an operation type, and a source reference. Selecting the BoM loads the components to consume, which can be adjusted on the order.
The order moves through Confirmed → Approved → In Process → Done, with Rejected available for orders that should not run. Marking an order In Process checks that every component has enough on-hand quantity — if not, the order is stopped with a clear message — then deducts the components, records product moves from stock to the production unit, and creates an outgoing transfer.
Marking the order Done adds the finished quantity to the product's on-hand stock and records an incoming transfer, so Inventory reflects production without a separate adjustment. The Manufacturing Orders Analysis report lists orders, products, and quantities by date, and Production Analysis reports components and cost per unit for each order.
Production managers
Plan orders, approve them, and see which are in process or done.
Shop floor supervisors
Start orders when components are available and close them when the product is made.
Inventory controllers
Watch component stock fall and finished stock rise as orders run.
Cost accountants

Everything Manufacturing Orders gives your team
Each feature below is part of the application as it ships in your ERPS X workspace — no add-ons, no separate licences.
Order creation
Product, quantity, UOM, bill of material, scheduled date, responsible, operation type, and source on one form.
Components to consume
Loaded from the selected BoM for the ordered quantity; lines can be edited before processing.
Status control
Mark as Confirmed, Approved, In Process, Done, or Rejected from the order list.
Availability check
When processing starts, each component is checked against on-hand stock; a shortage stops the order and names the product.
Stock movement
Components are deducted and finished goods added on the product; product moves and transfers are recorded.
Orders analysis
Manufacturing Orders Analysis lists orders, product, and quantity by date with totals.

The Manufacturing Orders workflow
From first setup to daily use — the path your team follows inside the application.
Create the order
Choose the product, quantity, BoM, scheduled date, and responsible. Components load from the BoM.
Confirm and approve
Mark the order Confirmed, then Approved when it is cleared to run.
Start processing
Mark In Process. Stock is checked, components are consumed, and the outgoing transfer is recorded.
Finish
Mark Done. The finished quantity is added to stock with an incoming transfer.

Where teams use Manufacturing Orders every day
Make-to-stock batch
An order for 500 units consumes components on start and stocks 500 finished units on completion.
Make-to-order for a customer
Source references the sale; the finished quantity is in stock for the delivery.
Sub-assembly first
Run the sub-assembly order, then the parent order consumes the sub-assembly as a component.
Component shortage
The start is blocked with the missing product named; Purchase or Replenishment restocks it.
Several plants
Each company workspace runs its own orders against its own stock.
Quality on the order
Quality checks reference the manufacturing order and are passed or failed before shipping.
What changes when Manufacturing Orders runs on ERPS X
Outcomes you can expect once the application is live for your company.
Stock that matches the floor
Consumption and production update on-hand quantities as the order moves.
No silent shortages
The availability check stops an order that cannot be built.
Traceable movements
Product moves and transfers reference the order that caused them.
Same products everywhere
The product built here is the product Sales sells and Inventory counts.
Company isolation
Orders stay in the company workspace and database they belong to.
Controlled access
Department-level access keeps production screens with the Manufacturing team.
Works with the rest of your ERPS X workspace
Manufacturing Orders shares one database with every other application in your company workspace. No connectors, no exports — the same record everywhere.
