Sometimes during the production process, the quantity or list of used raw materials may differ from the originally planned or provided by a BOM. Also, you can produce more or less finished goods or add some new items as finished goods.
Kladana allows you to change the quantity and final list both for raw materials and finished products. Also you can replace raw materials before starting manufacturing.

How to change the quantity of raw materials after starting the production process
- Mark as ‘completed’ the stage in which changes occurred and open the Operation Report. For that click on time and date.
- In the Operation Report you can do the following:
- Change the quantity of raw materials, and change Operation Costs.
-
Add / Delete / Replace line items.
In these cases, it can be useful
- You unexpectedly produced some new finished goods, they were not included in the initial BOM and you want to count them (e.g. after cutting a wooden board to make a table you can get components for the initial table and some boards of smaller size).
- During the production process, some raw materials were replaced.
- Some components were damaged during the production process so you count them as used, but you have to decrease the quantity of finished goods.
How to change quantity and list of raw materials before starting production process
- Open the newly created Production Order and click on the raw with the BoM.
- In the table replace or add necessary raw materials.
In these cases, it can be useful
- You produce very customized products and you don’t have BOMs for all custom variants, you use only the main BOM for the main Product. After receiving an Order you make notes on how the finished product should be customized. You create a Production Order using a BOM split it into 2 batches, and change raw materials for the second batch.
- You use very similar raw materials but count them using different SKUs. So after analyzing which raw materials are required, you may want to replace one raw material that you don’t have in stock with another very similar one that you have in stock.
For example, if you use different types of packing boxes, there is no difference for customers in which boxes ordered products will be packed, so you use what you have in stock.
How to change actual quantity of finished goods
- Create a Production Order with the approximate quantity of finished goods.
- You can change the quantity of manufactured products or job work in the column "To be produced".
- In the ’Raw Materials’ tab you will see the actual used and still required quantity.
