Manufacturing

Internal production and job work in one place

Manage your entire manufacturing process, whether you produce in-house or outsource to job workers. Create bills of materials, plan production with work orders, track raw material consumption, record finished goods, and calculate your true production cost. Full support for the subcontracting patterns common in Indian manufacturing.

What you can do

01

Bill of Materials (BOM) management

Define what raw materials go into each finished product, with quantities and unit costs. Support for multi-level BOMs where a sub-assembly itself has a BOM. Version and freeze BOMs when a work order is created so changes do not affect ongoing production.

02

Work order lifecycle

Plan production with work orders that move through clear stages: planned, in progress, and completed. Each work order is linked to a BOM and specifies the quantity to produce, the target warehouse, and the expected timeline.

03

Raw material consumption tracking

When production starts, record which raw materials were consumed and in what quantity. Stock is deducted from your warehouse automatically. If actual consumption differs from the BOM, the system captures that too.

04

Finished goods recording

When production is complete, record the finished goods produced. Stock is added to your target warehouse. The cost of the finished item is calculated from the raw materials consumed plus any additional costs.

05

Scrap and waste management

Not everything in production becomes a finished product. Record scrap and waste quantities during the manufacturing process. Track waste percentages over time to identify improvements in your production efficiency.

06

Production cost calculation

ORENX calculates the true cost of each finished item by adding up raw material costs (from weighted average), conversion costs, and any additional expenses. Know your actual manufacturing cost, not a guess.

07

Job work / subcontracting orders

Create subcontracting orders for work you outsource to vendors. Track which vendor is doing what job, the expected delivery date, and the agreed conversion cost. Common in Indian manufacturing where specific processes are outsourced.

08

Material issue and receipt for job work

Issue raw materials to your job work vendors with proper documentation. When they return finished goods, record the receipt. ORENX tracks what materials are with each vendor and what is still pending.

How it works

1

Create a Bill of Materials

Define the raw materials, quantities, and sub-assemblies needed for each finished product. For multi-level products, create BOMs for sub-assemblies first, then reference them in the parent BOM.

2

Plan production with a work order

Create a work order specifying what to produce, how many, and by when. The BOM is frozen at this point so that any later BOM changes do not affect this production run.

3

Consume raw materials

As production begins, record material consumption. Raw materials are deducted from your warehouse stock. If you are using job work, issue materials to the vendor instead.

4

Record finished goods

When production is complete, record the finished goods. For in-house production, stock is added to your warehouse. For job work, record the receipt from your vendor along with the conversion cost.

5

Review production costs

See the total cost of production: raw materials consumed, conversion costs (for job work), waste, and any additional expenses. Compare actual costs against your BOM estimates to track efficiency.

Why it matters

Know your true production cost

Stop guessing what it costs to make each product. ORENX adds up every raw material, every conversion charge, and every additional expense. Price your products based on real numbers, not estimates.

Keep job work under control

Track materials sent to vendors, goods received back, and conversion costs. Know exactly what is sitting with each job worker and what is overdue. No more chasing vendors blindly.

Reduce waste over time

Recording scrap and waste for each production run gives you data to work with. Identify which products or processes have high waste rates and take steps to improve them.

Accurate inventory, always

Raw material consumption and finished goods production both update your warehouse stock in real time. No manual stock adjustments needed for routine manufacturing. Your inventory numbers stay accurate.

Production planning with real data

BOMs tell you exactly what raw materials you need. Before starting a work order, check if you have enough stock. If not, create a purchase order directly. Plan production around what you actually have.
