Manufacturing Reports
ERPNext v15 in the Manufacturing module provides a host of Manufacturing Reports to know about the production progress, efficiency analysis, BOM tracking of usage, and information about the operating process. The reports are dispensed as tabular data and visually in the form of configurable charts by use of visual dashboards.
Access Path:
To facilitate graphical display, click the “Set Chart” button in the top-right of the report page. This lets you set up bar, line, pie, or donut charts for fast insights.
Open Work Orders
This report shows a list of all Work Orders in the “Not Started” status. It assists production Managers and planners in identifying future manufacturing tasks yet to be started.
Key Data Columns:
- Work Order Number
- Item to Manufacture
- Planned Start Date
- Quantity to Produce
- Status
- Production Plan Reference
- WIP and Finished Goods Warehouses
Use Case: Effective when planning material allocation, workstation availability scheduling, and preventing late execution of manufacturing operations.
Work in Progress Report
The WIP Report displays all Work Orders which are in the current “In Process” status — production has started, yet is not finished.
Key Data Columns:
- Work Order Number
- Item Code and Description
- Actual Start Date
- Quantity Produced
- Balance Quantity
- Assigned Workstations
- Completion Percentage
- Linked Job Cards and their statuses
Use Case: Tracks the live progress of manufacturing, tracks operational delays, and flags bottlenecks at a given stage or workstation.
Issued Items Against Work Order
This report lists the raw materials which have been issued (by Material Transfer for Manufacture) to Work in Progress (WIP) Warehouses against each Work Order.
Data columns listed below that are most useful to understand your data
Work Order Number Product code (Raw material) * Transferred Quantity * Required Quantity * WIP Warehouse * Transfer Date * Reference Stock Entry
Use Case: Helps in tracking of material and releases raw materials at the right time and in the right quantity. Eliminates the risk of shortage, controls over-issuance and streamlines the inventory flow.
Completed Work Orders
This report enumerates all Work Orders wherein the whole planned quantity of finished goods has been successfully produced and submitted.
Key Data Shown:
- Work Order Number
- Item to Produce
- Planned Quantity vs Produced Quantity
- Actual Start and End Dates
- Production Plan Reference (if any)
- Status = “Completed”
- Linked Job Cards and Material Consumption Entries
Use Case: The report plays a critical role in tracking the completed production activity and ensuring process efficiency as well as initiating post-production operations including stock valuation, quality check, and shipment.
Production Analytics
This report gives top-level aggregated views of all active and finished Work Orders within specified ranges.
Key Metrics Shown:
- Total Work Orders
- Total Quantity Produced
- Total Raw Material Used
- Average Lead Time
- Operation Efficiency
- Status Distribution (Not Started / In Progress / Completed / Stopped)
Use Case: Enables monitoring of performances, planning of production decisions and identification of inefficiencies during the manufacturing processes.
BOM Search
This report enables searching across all current Bills of Materials (BOMs) by Raw Material Item Codes.
Key Functionalities:
- Enter one or more Raw Material Item Codes
- Lists all BOMs that utilize them
- Direct links to open matched BOMs
- Narrow by filters by item group, company, or active status
Use Case: Extremely beneficial in environments with high or complex BOMs, where knowing where a raw material is utilized is key to design modifications or component replacement.
BOM Stock Report
Shows the availability of stock for a chosen Bill of Materials (BOM) across company Warehouses.
Key Data Shown:
- Raw Material Items
- Required Quantity according to BOM
- Available Quantity in chosen Warehouse(s)
- Color Indicators:
- Red: Not enough stock
- Green: Enough stock
Use Case: Aids in deciding material readiness prior to issuing a Work Order. Aids in procurement planning by indicating material shortages in advance.
