Accurate Cost

Since the cost of the manufactured item is drawn from the cost of the raw materials included in the recipe as well as additional costs such as labour and overheads, the cost price of the finished article is both accurate and true.

Production Planning

Omni Accounts Manufacturing Module enables you to create a schedule of items due to be manufactured.  This is ideally suited to larger manufacturing concerns where stock items need to be manufactured in advance.

A further function of this feature is the ability to project a stock-usage report for every item due to be manufactured.  Using Omni’s Paste Special function, this report can be pasted directly into a Supplier Purchase Order, should there be a shortage of the required raw materials in stock.

Invoice-can-Manufacture

Omni Accounts Manufacturing Module is equally suited to the smaller business as well as the retail environment.  Typically stock would not be manufactured in advance in these scenarios.  Rather the raw materials would be available for purchase individually or else together as a kit, with a consolidated price.  Omni Manufacturing provides for this scenario with an Invoice-can-Manufacture function, where a recipe is automatically processed at the time of Invoicing.  This reduces the raw materials required, automatically ‘manufactures’ the finished article, and then invoices it out to the customer, in one seamless process.

Production Batches*

There are many businesses which require the ability to manipulate a recipe for any number of reasons, be they special customer requests, an exchange of parts or external environmental factors.

Through Omni’s Production Batches, a recipe can be drawn onto a Job Card, where changes to the ideal recipe can be made according to the physical manufacture. Once these adjustments have been made, the recipe can be processed on Omni Accounts, eliminating any variance between what is captured in the software and what was physically manufactured.

Production Decanting

In the event your business requires the ability to decant stock from one pack size, for example, into another, Omni’s Decanting Batch facility will be able to provide you the functionality your business requires.

Decanting Batches enables the decanting of a stock item(s) into another stock item/s.  Through a series of stock issues and receipts, the source stock item(s) will have their levels reduced and the target stock item(s)s will be increased.

Manufacturing with Serial and Batch Numbers

Omni Accounts caters for a serial number and up to three batch numbers per stock item.  Not only does this functionality apply to incoming and out-going stock items, but it also extends to Omni’s Manufacturing Module as well.

Using the example of a computer, comprised of a monitor, hard-drive, ram and a motherboard, each containing their own serial numbers, Omni’s Manufacturing Module would record these serial numbers against the finished computer, which itself can be assigned an entirely new serial number upon completion.  These raw-material serial numbers would then be permanently attached to the finished item’s serial number, enabling a full tracking of the stock items in question, from the time they entered into your business, went through the manufacturing process, to the time they were invoiced out to your customer.

The same principle holds true for Batch Number Tracking.

Measuring Efficiency

Because the Omni Accounts Manufacturing Module and more specifically Omni’s Bill of materials works according to an ‘ideal recipe’, monitoring the efficiency of your production operation according to inputs vs. outputs and the variance thereof becomes a very simple process.  This then offers you the ability to make corrections/adjustments to your production facility in order to reduce these variances and increase the overall efficiency of your plant.
