Operations module
Manufacturing & MRP
What changes
Compresses production planning cycles from days to hours with constraint-aware scheduling that accounts for actual machine availability, material lead times, and skill bottlenecks.

Features
What Manufacturing & MRP covers.
17 capabilities across 5 functional areas — all on the same database, sharing one record for every transaction, customer, and vendor.
Bill of Materials
4 capabilities
Multi-level BOM
Unlimited BOM depth with version control, effective-date management, and full cost rollup. A change at component level ripples through all parent assemblies automatically on save.
Phantom items
Sub-assemblies defined as phantom components explode at the work order level without a physical production step. Simplifies BOM structure for large or modular assemblies.
Co-products & by-products
Manage planned co-product output and by-product recovery from process manufacturing work orders. Each output valued separately; by-product credit reduces the main product cost.
BOM cost rollup
Standard cost rollup from raw materials through sub-assemblies to finished goods. Cost impact analysis runs before any BOM change is approved and released to production.
Planning & Scheduling
4 capabilities
MRP across plants
Demand-driven MRP across all plants simultaneously. Nets demand against on-hand, open work orders, and purchase orders to produce time-phased planned orders with correct lead dates.
Capacity planning
Rough-cut and detailed capacity planning by work center. Load view 13 weeks forward; overloads identified before they affect promised delivery dates.
Production scheduling
Sequence work orders by priority, due date, and machine capability. Forward and backward scheduling with constraint-based finite capacity for realistic shop floor plans.
Subcontract work orders
Issue raw materials to subcontractors against work orders. Track material sent, in-process, and returned. GRN confirms completed quantity and triggers supplier billing.
Shop Floor
3 capabilities
Work orders
Detailed work orders with routing, operation sequence, work center, and time standards. Issue materials from BOM; capture actual quantities consumed per operation.
Labor & machine tracking
Log actual labor hours and machine time per operation. Actual vs standard comparison at work order level and by work center for efficiency analysis.
Work-in-progress
Real-time WIP valuation by work order, stage, and plant. WIP posts to the GL on work order confirmation and clears on completion — no period-end WIP estimation.
Costing
3 capabilities
Standard costing
Standard cost set at BOM and routing level. Material, labor, overhead, and yield variances calculated and posted automatically on work order close — no spreadsheet analysis.
Actual costing
Capture actual material, labor, overhead, and subcontracting costs per work order. Actual cost per unit calculated at completion; compared to standard for variance reporting.
Overhead absorption
Machine time, labor hour, and production volume absorption methods. Under/over-absorption calculated and posted per period; absorption rate review built into period close.
Quality & Traceability
3 capabilities
In-process quality
Inspection checkpoints embedded in the production routing. Work orders cannot advance to the next operation until the QC result is recorded and accepted.
Finished goods inspection
QC gate before FG stock releases to warehouse. Rejected lots trigger rework or scrap work orders with automatic cost capture and scrap accounting.
Full traceability
Forward and backward trace: from any FG lot — which raw material batch, which work order, which work center, which operator, which QC inspection. In under 60 seconds.
Tafkiro AI
How AI works inside Manufacturing & MRP.
Every AI capability runs continuously in the background. Outputs surface inside your normal workflow — approvals, queues, alerts — where your team already works. Nothing to open, nothing to trigger.
/ 01
Yield anomaly detection
Detects output-to-input deviations at the work order level before they flow into standard cost reporting. Flags early — while the batch is still running, not after disposal.
Example · Live output
WO-4821: actual yield 94% vs 98.5% standard → flagged before cost posting
/ 02
Smart MRP suggestions
Adjusts planned orders as demand shifts, supplier lead times change, or machine capacity constraints emerge. Suggestions include the reason for each change.
Example · Live output
14 planned orders rescheduled — 3 suppliers extended lead time by 4 days
/ 03
Demand forecasting (MRP)
Feeds forward-looking demand signals into MRP runs, reducing both over-production and emergency replenishment orders caused by lagging historical averages.
Example · Live output
Week 8 demand spike +34% vs baseline detected → MRP plan updated automatically
Best fit
Where Manufacturing & MRP matters most.
The module ships with industry-specific defaults, report layouts, and compliance configurations for each vertical — not a generic setup you adapt after go-live.
Same platform
Modules that integrate with Manufacturing.
Every module shares one database. Data posted in Manufacturing & MRP is immediately visible to these modules — no sync, no API bridge, no reconciliation.
