Complete recipes (BOM)
Each bill of materials defines raw materials with their scrap %, the finished products it yields, the operations routing with its hours and costs, and the quality tests it must pass. A single source of truth.
Manufacturing Module · Adm Cloud iERP
Take control of your production from BOM to finished product
Define your bills of materials, launch production orders, issue raw materials and record every finished product — with planned vs. actual cost, quality control, and inventory and accounting always up to date. No spreadsheets.

What is it?
Native manufacturing, not a separate system
Adm Cloud's Manufacturing module manages your entire production process — recipes, orders, consumption, quality and costs — on the same items, warehouses, purchasing and GL accounts as your ERP. No integrations to maintain, no duplicate data, no re-keying.
Process traceability
With work in process (WIP) control you know exactly which raw materials left the warehouse, what is on the shop floor and which finished products came in — every step with its document, its date and its owner.
Costs that don't lie
Compare the BOM's planned cost against each order's actual consumption, by material and by operation. Journal entries are generated automatically, using the issue, build and rejection accounts you define.
Capabilities
Everything your plant needs
From the recipe to cost analysis: these are the areas covered by Adm Cloud's Manufacturing module.
Bills of materials
Materials with scrap allowances, multiple finished products per recipe, operations routing, quality tests and custom fields. With an approval workflow: draft, pending, approved.
Production orders
They explode the full BOM — materials, finished goods and routing — with open, in-process and closed statuses, optional authorization and bulk creation from sales orders.
Direct manufacturing
Simple production? Consume the materials and receive the finished product in a single document, without going through work in process. Ideal for assemblies and kits.
Work in process (WIP)
Raw material issues to the shop floor and finished-product builds — including rejections — with their in-process inventory account and automatic journal entry.
Work centers and routings
Each routing operation carries its work center with an hourly cost, the equipment that runs it, the labor role, the estimated hours and the production line.
Quality control
Define QA tests with minimum and maximum tolerances per unit of measure and attach them to each BOM. Quality stops being a loose sheet of paper and becomes part of the recipe.
MPS and MRP
Master production schedule and material requirements planning: the system calculates what to make and what to buy based on demand, stock on hand and reorder levels.
Shop floor control
A plant dashboard with the tasks in progress by work center, planners by order, equipment and operator, and a routing calendar to schedule the production week.
Production flow
From recipe to finished product, without friction
Every step of the process is recorded with its document, its inventory and its journal entry. This is how an order flows through Adm Cloud:
Approved BOM
The recipe with materials, scrap allowances, routing and quality tests.
Production order
It explodes the BOM, gets authorized and is scheduled by center and operator.
Raw material issue
Materials leave the warehouse into work-in-process inventory.
Finished-product build
The finished product comes in — along with rejections — fully costed.
Close and analyze
The order is closed and you compare actual cost against plan.
Simple production? With Direct Manufacturing you skip the intermediate steps: a single document consumes the raw materials and receives the finished product. You choose the level of control your operation needs, recipe by recipe.

Costs & analytics
Decisions built on numbers, not guesswork
The module includes reports designed to answer the key question: what does it really cost me to produce?
Cost variance
Planned cost per the BOM against actual issued cost, material by material and operation by operation. Catch consumption deviations before they eat into your margin.
Production cost
The total cost of each order — materials, labor and process — broken down by order, by BOM, by category or by department. Plus its sibling report: raw material cost per order.
Sales order profitability
Link sales orders to their production orders and measure the true profitability of each order based on what it cost to make. Sell knowing how much you earn.
Order progress
Ordered quantities against built quantities, stage by stage, plus the detail of operations by work center, equipment and employee. You know where every order stands without walking down to the floor.
Raw material availability
Raw material stock as of any date, orders with their breakdown of required materials, and the MRP that tells you what to buy to meet the plan.
Dynamic analysis
Pivot tables for production and raw material consumption: cross-reference periods, items, warehouses and categories just like a spreadsheet — but with live data.

Control
Your operation, on your terms
Manufacturing inherits the security and governance model of all of Adm Cloud.
Role-based privileges
Recipes, orders, issues, builds and shop floor control: every screen has its own privilege assignable by user group.
Dual approval
The BOM goes through draft, review and approval before it can be used; the production order can require authorization before it starts.
Multi-company
Orders, issues and reports by subsidiary and by warehouse, with multi-currency support in consumption and cost analytics.
Automatic accounting
Issue, build and rejection accounts defined per recipe or per category — process journal entries are generated automatically.
Frequently asked questions
We answer your questions
What is a bill of materials (BOM)?
It is your product's manufacturing recipe: which raw materials it uses and in what quantities (with their scrap percentage), which finished products it yields, which operations are performed and at which work centers, and which quality tests it must pass. In Adm Cloud, every production order is born from an approved BOM.
My production is simple — is this module for me?
Yes. Direct Manufacturing consumes the materials and receives the finished product in a single document — perfect for assemblies, kits or one-step processes. And when your operation grows, you turn on work-in-process control, work centers and planning without switching systems.
How do I control work in process (WIP)?
With two documents: the raw material issue records materials leaving the warehouse into the work-in-process inventory account, and the finished-product build records the final product coming in — including rejected units — fully costed. At any moment you know how much value sits "on the shop floor".
Can I tell if my actual cost deviated from plan?
Yes. The production cost variance report compares what the BOM said you would consume against what you actually issued, material by material and operation by operation. You also get production cost per order, raw material cost and the profitability of manufactured orders.
Does it integrate with sales, purchasing and inventory?
Completely: it is the same system. You can generate production orders from sales orders (even in batches), MRP calculates what to buy based on demand and stock, issues move the real inventory in your warehouses and every document posts its journal entry. Nothing to sync.
Do I have to set up the accounting for every order by hand?
No. You define the GL accounts for raw material issues, builds and rejected builds once — per recipe or per BOM category — and the system generates the journal entries automatically on every transaction in the production process.
Manufacture with data, not guesswork
Control recipes, orders, quality and real costs — in the same system that already runs your business.
