Because manufactured stock is usually valued at a standard set once and rarely revisited. Component prices move, the standard does not, and margin on made goods becomes fiction.
A bill of materials lists what goes into a finished item — components, quantities, and any labour or overhead — and gives the result a cost.
A build consumes its components at actual cost and produces the finished item valued at what went into it, including the labour and overhead rates you set.
An assembly uses three components, one of which has risen twelve per cent since the last run. The finished unit is valued at the real cost, and margin against the selling price is visible at once.
It will not schedule production or plan capacity. It costs and records the build; when to run it is a decision Loop is better placed to hold.
It consumes stock from a warehouse, posts the movement to the ledger, values the finished item on the balance sheet, and feeds margin by item in the P&L.
Yes. Sub-assemblies nest, and cost rolls up through them.
The build flags rather than completing, so stock cannot go negative unnoticed.
Yes, and past builds keep the version they were made from.
