Assembly and kitting

A recipe records component quantities against an explicit output basis. The routing sets the operation sequence. Each work order carries the selected recipe, output product, standard cost, warehouse and planned quantity. This supports a distributor that prepares a defined kit or repacked saleable item before fulfilling a dealer order.

Warehouse Manager reviews the frozen recipe and routing before release. Warehouse Operator records actual material issues and production entries. Completed output has its own confirmation, quantity, location and value. An operation marked complete is not itself another finished unit; the completion record is the point where output is recognized.

• Instruction version. The active recipe and routing define the planned component and operation basis.
• Physical execution. Material reservations, issues and production entries show what was consumed or returned.
• Output and cost. Completion relieves work in progress and records standard output value and variance.

A work order may serve a particular accepted sales line or general replenishment. Both paths need an eligible output product and a positive planned quantity. Material work and labor remain tied to the order so finance can explain the cost accumulated before completion.

Agree which products are stock, kit or repacked output, and which components belong to the recipe. Set base-unit conversions, allowed planned scrap and operation instructions. Decide who maintains technical versions and who independently approves the effective recipe and cost standard. Define the warehouse and output location used for the first controlled run.

Release requires a reviewed current work order, active recipe, routing and standard. Close is a separate decision. Warehouse Manager checks that materials, entries, completed output and remaining work are accounted for. Finance Manager reviews an eligible residual variance rather than letting a status change make it disappear.

Prepare a kit from two stocked products for a dealer order. Reserve the components, release the work order and record actual issue. If one component is damaged before use, record its return or scrap source rather than leaving it as consumed. Enter the good and scrap quantities for the operation, then confirm only the actual finished output into the selected location.

Compare accumulated material, labor and overhead with the standard value of that output. The difference should remain visible for review. When output is partially completed, the remaining work and cost should stay with the open order. Attempt to close it with unexplained residual cost and check that the close decision requires resolution or independent variance authority.

• Production schedule — Released and active work with output product and planned dates.
• Warehouse availability — Components and completed output in their actual custody states.
• Count review queue — Physical differences that affect the production stock basis.
