Before you beginThis guide follows Accounting and Bookkeeping module version 1.4.5. The required access is Accounting Transactions: View; Manufacturing module active. A related screen can remain hidden when an optional module is inactive, a source record is in an ineligible status, the selected account is inactive or the user is not an assigned approver.

What this feature does

Post material, labour and production-related costs from eligible Manufacturing orders. It forms part of Britixo Enterprise CRM's Accounting & Bookkeeping module and uses the module's permission-aware controller, status and mapping flow rather than a generic spreadsheet process.

How the module flow works

The Accounting module provides a manufacturing-order table, an automatic-conversion setting and conversion hooks for manufacturing status and cost data.

Source Manufacturing logic calculates or supplies the cost components; Accounting translates them into double-entry lines.

If a completed order is missing, verify source status, value and mappings before entering a manual journal.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Confirm the Manufacturing module and mappings are active.
  2. Open the Manufacturing transaction group.
  3. Select the order and review status, material and labour values.
  4. Confirm mapping accounts.
  5. Convert or confirm automatic conversion.
  6. Review work-in-progress or finished-output lines.
  7. Compare the accounting entry with the source order cost summary.

Important fields and decisions

Manufacturing order statusControls posting eligibility.
Material costMoves inventory or raw-material value into production.
Labour costPosts direct labour or overhead according to mapping.
Output valueCan move completed production into finished-goods inventory.
VarianceRequires an approved account when actual and expected values differ.

What happens after completion

After the action is saved, Britixo keeps the Accounting record connected to its source and updates the visible status or ledger data supported by this workflow. Review the saved result rather than relying only on a success message. Where the action posts accounting data, total debits and credits must balance and the accounts must match the approved mapping or manual selection.

  • Open the saved record and confirm its final status.
  • Review the source reference and every debit and credit line where ledger data was created.
  • Use the relevant register, ageing, reconciliation or report to verify the wider effect.

Controls, checks and common mistakes

  • Do not convert incomplete orders without an approved process.
  • Keep material, labour and overhead classifications distinct.
  • Review source cost updates after conversion.
  • Investigate production variances.
  • Use the least destructive correction available and record the reason for material changes.
  • Do not bypass a permission, approval or closed-period control by changing unrelated data.
Accounting and data safetyDeletion, reset, void, refund, mapping, journal and reconciliation actions can change financial history. Use approved access, retain supporting evidence and validate the result in the General Ledger or relevant control report.
