Manufacturing project - Basics
When do we use manufacturing projects(MP)? How to use MPs Reporting.
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.
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.
Field | Description |
Number | incremental number for MP defined by the system |
Tag | standard text field limited to 8 characters |
Date time | Date and time of document creation |
Warehouse | Default inventory Warehouse |
Description | Free text filed (256 characters long) for describing project |
Planned start | Date time of planned start |
Expected | Date time for finishing date |
Estimated cost | Summarized value combining all WO included in project |

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.

Sample from the gantt chart preview

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
