🏭 Manufacturing Business Module

The Manufacturing Module is designed to help businesses seamlessly manage production, recipes, raw material usage, wastage, and finished goods within the POS system. Whether you’re manufacturing products from scratch or repackaging raw materials into sellable quantities, this module ensures accuracy, efficiency, and profitability tracking.

🔑 Key Features & Functionalities

📋 Recipe Management

• Create and manage recipes for each product you manufacture.

• Define exact ingredients, raw materials, and instructions.

📦 Ingredient & Raw Material Tracking

• Use raw materials from your product list.

• Mark certain products as “Not For Sale” if they’re only used internally for production.

♻️ Wastage Percentage

• Define wastage at two levels:

  • Ingredient wastage (e.g., cleaning vegetables, trimming materials).

  • Final product wastage (due to quality issues or damage).

💰 Production Cost Calculation

• Get an accurate cost of production per batch.

• Selling price is calculated based on manufacturing cost + margin, not purchase price.

📝 Production Instructions

• Add detailed steps for manufacturing to ensure consistent processes.

📑 Copying Recipes

• Save time by duplicating an existing recipe and adjusting ingredients as needed.

🔄 Repackaging & Selling

• Ideal for businesses that purchase raw goods in bulk (e.g., oil, rice, flour) and repackage them into smaller retail sizes.

• Example: Purchase oil in tons/liters, then create recipes for 1L, 500ml, and 250ml packs.

📊 Profit Calculation

• Profit is based on manufacturing cost, not purchase price.

• Ensures accurate margins and a better pricing strategy.

  Manufacturing has 2 main steps:

  1. Recipe: A Recipe specifies the raw material or ingredients in exact proportions that should be used for manufacturing the final product. For manufacturing a product, standard instructions are followed where ingredients or raw materials are processed in exact quantities to have a quality final product.
  2. Production: Based on the recipe added for products, in production it shows the total quantity of all raw materials required for the manufacturing of N quantity of product.

  There can be further steps like cost calculations, wastage calculations, allocating lot numbers & expiry for the manufactured product.

  Cost Calculations:
  Cost of the final product depends on Raw material cost, Production cost (labour cost, machinery cost, fuel cost for machines like Petrol/LPG/Electricity) & Wastages. Further, the selling price will have some profit percentage added to this manufacturing cost.

  Wastage Calculations:
  Wastage can be of raw materials or the final manufactured product.
  Wastage of raw materials can be like for example, if we take cauliflower, it needs to be cleaned by removing leaves & stems, this goes to the wastage because it’s thrown away and not used.
  Manufactured products can sometimes be wasted by leakage or bad quality, or some other unstoppable causes.

  Lot number:
  Generally, most of the manufactured items have a Lot number, which enables tracing of the constituent parts or ingredients, as well as labor and equipment records involved in the manufacturing of the product. This enables manufacturers and other entities to perform quality control checks and issue corrections or recall information to subsets of their production output. It also gives consumers an identifier that they can use in contacting the manufacturer and researching the production of goods received.

  Expiration Date:
  Food products, pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, and many other manufactured products, where the age of the product may impact its safety, have an expiry date added to them. An expiration date or expiry date or best-before, or use-by date is a previously determined date after which the product should no longer be used.
