# Manufacturing project - Basics

Manufacturing Project enables you to track multiple work orders arranged inside one project.

Usual implementations:

* Multi-level products
* Simple construction
* HVAC
* on site installations

Manufacturing project summarizes all costs in one place so from the cost perspective you can know where are you standing for each project.

### Basic interface

As all forms in ERPAG, MP form is also split in sections. First section is Document header.

In document header you can see general references or meta data describing this Manufacturing Project.

#### Second section

In order to represent the structure of the project - we use rectangles which are designed to show basic info for each work order submitted in project.

#### Third section is representation in Gantt charts 

{% hint style="info" %}

#### Last section  represents summary table 

Here you can see  all items, sub-assemblies and work operations included in the project.\
Values are grouped based on the type:

* Finished products
* Raw materials
* Work operations

Each group has its own summary row so you can see cost exploded by type
