Open production orders from sales order lines, raise purchase requisitions for missing raw material, and have operators record output at the workstation. When you complete an order, IWB records the consumption and finished-goods stock entries together, and the completion goes to your accountant's approval list for the journal entry.
The open quantity on a confirmed sales order becomes a production order, and requirements planning (MRP) works out its component needs and suggests purchase requisitions for missing raw material. A received lot that needs a quality check moves to available stock once approved, then goes into production. Finished goods leave the warehouse on a shipment order.
Send an order line's open quantity to a draft production order or purchase requisition, and IWB warns you first if available stock already covers it. MRP totals demand from sales orders, production order components, and safety stock, then subtracts open orders, requisitions, and goods in transit to get the net requirement. With your approval, it turns a suggestion into a purchase requisition, a draft production order, or a warehouse transfer.

Raw material still waiting on a quality result can't be issued from the warehouse. A lot under inspection sits in quarantine and moves to available stock once "Passed" or "Conditionally accepted" is entered. Blocked lots can't be issued either, and MRP doesn't count quarantined or blocked lots as stock on hand.
You record rejected quantities at goods receipt with one of 7 rejection reasons, such as damaged, doesn't match specification, wrong product, or insufficient shelf life
Freight you enter at goods receipt is allocated to stock cost by quantity or value
On a required quality step, only production output is locked until a result is entered

Get shop floor output into stock and the books
On the shop floor screen, operators pick their workstation, open a shift, find the job by barcode, and log output, waste, scrap, and downtime. Completing the order records the consumption and finished-goods stock entries together and carries the unit cost over to the finished product. Your accountant then sees the completion in their approval list, previews the journal entry, and posts it.
Waste, scrap, and downtime each need a reason, and a wrong entry is fixed with a reversal
Output gets a new lot, and serial numbers are scanned
Labor and manufacturing overhead are applied costs, and variances aren't posted to the ledger

Mark a bill of materials (BOM) as confidential, and only the users you've given that permission can see what's in it. Everyone else sees the contents hidden on the BOM card, in the BOM tree, in exports, and on the production order's consumption lines. You write the product declaration for your label as free text, separate from the BOM.
Permission to view confidential contents is off by default and isn't included in blanket permissions
A rule can limit a product family's BOMs to the production manager

Keep subcontracted work inside the plan
Material you send out for subcontracting (fason) stays yours; only its location changes. You set up each subcontractor as a work center with its vendor account, subcontracting service item, and warehouse. A draft subcontracting purchase order is opened from the work order, the material ships to the subcontractor's warehouse, and receiving the goods back moves the work order forward.
Goods in a subcontractor's warehouse don't count as available stock
The subcontracting charge goes into stock cost at its net price after discounts
Material comes back from the subcontractor in full, with no partial returns

Is there a separate edition of IWB for manufacturers?
No. Manufacturing and Requirements Planning use the same records as IWB's Inventory, Purchasing, Sales, and Accounting modules. A machinery, food, plastics, or metal manufacturer sets up IWB with its own BOMs, routings, and warehouses.
Can we track lots and expiration dates in food and chemicals?
Yes. Each lot carries its production date, expiration date, and status: quarantine, available, or blocked. When stock goes out, lots are picked first in, first out (FIFO), first expired, first out (FEFO), or by hand. You can trace a lot back to its raw material lots and vendors, forward to production orders and customers, and list the customers affected.
Can we make custom products to order?
Yes. From a sales order line you create an order-specific BOM that's used only for that order and doesn't appear in the catalog. BOM lines can use formulas, and quantities that depend on dimensions are calculated once when the production order opens, then stay fixed.
Can we work with multiple warehouses and companies?
Yes. You share a product record with the companies you choose, while stock and cost stay separate in each one. When MRP plans by warehouse, it first suggests covering the requirement from available stock in another warehouse.
Can our quality lab run in IWB too?
Yes, with the Laboratory (LIMS) module. Quality control in Manufacturing is kept simple: it records whether a step or lot passed inspection. Work that needs samples, analyses, limits, and reports runs in Laboratory, where quality control samples are opened without a customer and aren't invoiced.
