About This Course
Running a Work Order is one thing. Planning what to make, what to buy and what it really costs is another. This course covers production planning and costing in ERPNext.
You'll turn sales demand into Production Plans, work out material requirements, and plan products built from sub-assemblies. You'll build product costs from materials, operations and overheads, update BOMs and costs safely, check quality at each stage and test whether the floor has the capacity to deliver.
You finish by analysing yield, delays and cost variances.
