Plan it, make it, know what it cost

Bills of materials, routings and work orders, with material requirements planning that tells you what to make and what to buy, and true production cost posted to the ledger.

Direct answer

NiyuSuite Production & MRP runs discrete manufacturing on the same stock as the rest of the business: bills of materials and routings, work orders that consume components and produce finished goods, production costing with waste, and an MRP run that suggests what to make and what to buy.

What it covers

  • Bills of materials and routings: components, quantities and the steps to make each product.
  • Work orders: issue materials, record output and waste, and close the order.
  • Production costing: material used beyond the BOM is priced as waste, and labour and overhead are added for staff allowed to see costs.
  • Can Make: a reverse-BOM view showing how many of each product your current stock can build.
  • MRP: tick "Make" lines to create work orders and "Buy" lines to raise purchase requisitions in one step.
