Production reports

Production reports summarize what you made, the components you consumed, and how actual usage compared to your bills of materials.

Run a production report

1. Go to Reports → Production.
2. Set the date range for the work orders to include.
3. Choose how to group the results: by product, work order, or component.
4. Optionally filter by status or location.
5. Click Run.

What you can measure

Metric	Meaning
Output	Finished units received from completed work orders
Component usage	Quantity of each material consumed
Expected vs. actual	BOM quantity versus what was really issued
Variance	The difference, flagged when usage runs over or under

Group by product to see total output, or by component to find materials that consistently run over their BOM allowance.

Only completed work orders contribute output and actual-usage figures. Scheduled and in-progress work orders reserve components but are not yet counted as produced.

A recurring positive variance on a component usually means the BOM needs updating or there is scrap to account for.
