Production Feature (Project)

This guide explains how to use the Production/Project feature in MAXsi POS. This menu is used to create production projects, record material usage, review production reports, and update the production status/output.

Best For

Production is suitable for small manufacturing / home-industry businesses such as:

• Bakery/food production
• Fishery processing (from farming to processing)
• Agriculture (from planting to harvest to post-harvest processing)

It helps you record materials needed to produce a finished product through a flow like: create project → record material usage → review cost & output → finalize status.

Quick Flow

• Create Project: set name, warehouse, finished product.
• Record Material Usage: pick an active (not done) project, add materials and quantities.
• Review Reports: see targets, output, total cost, COGS; update project status.

Accessing Production

1. Open the Production menu.
2. On the Production home screen you typically see shortcuts:
   • Create Project
   • Materials Master
   • Material Usage
   • Production Reports

Create Project

Goal: create a new production project and define the finished product.

Steps:

1. Enter Project Name.
2. Select Warehouse.
3. (Optional) Add a Note.
4. Select Finished Product.
5. Enter target quantity per product (optional but recommended).
6. Tap Save Project.

Notes:

• If the project name is empty, the app may show “Project name is required.”
• If warehouse is not selected, the app may show “Warehouse is required.”
• If no finished product is selected, the app may show “Finished product is required.”

Materials Master

Interaction:

• Tap a material to open its product detail/edit screen.

2. (Optional) Add a Note.
3. Search materials and add them to the list.
4. Enter usage qty for each material.
5. Tap Save Usage.

Notes:

• If no project is selected, the app may show “Project is required.”

Production Reports

Goal: monitor projects, production cost, and output.

Main features:

• Filter by Project Name, Status, and date range.
• Status filter commonly includes: All, draft, running, done.
• Project list can show target, output, total cost, and COGS per unit.
• Tap a project card to view material usage details.
• Tap a status chip to update a project’s status.

Updating Project Status:

• Common statuses: draft, running, partial, done.
• For “partial” or “done”:
  • Enter output qty per product.
  • Enter COGS/Unit per product.
  • The app calculates Total Cost, Total COGS, and the difference.
• Save to apply the status update.

Notes:

• Usage details usually include materials, qty, cost, totals, and created-by user.
• If saving fails, the app shows an error message.

Tips

• Ensure material stock is available before recording usage.
• Use “running” while production is in progress, then switch to “partial” or “done” when output is recorded.
