Production
Record batches: make one now or schedule it, start and complete it, and see the true per-unit cost Trackost snapshots on every run.
- TUTORIAL: Introduction to production runs
About 15 minutes: plan three candles, read the preview and projected cost, make them now, then schedule, start and complete a second batch.
- About production runs (batches)
What a batch is in Trackost, the four statuses it moves through, and how each step changes your stock, your costs and your stock value.
- Make a batch now
Record a batch you have finished: pick the product and quantity, check the consumption preview, then click Make it now to use the materials and set its cost.
- Schedule a batch for a later day
Put a batch on your production calendar without using any stock, then start it on the day you're at the bench.
- Start and complete a scheduled batch
Start a scheduled batch to take its materials out of stock at today's cost, then complete it to add the finished units at the batch's unit cost.
- About a batch's unit cost and total cost
How Trackost works out the unit cost it records on a batch, materials at weighted-average cost plus labor, and why Total cost isn't unit cost × quantity.
