The Production and Jobs module manages the full workflow of manufacturing activity, from job creation through to completion, time recording, and integration with stock and MRP. Jobs can originate from MRP recommendations or be created manually for ad hoc production, offering complete flexibility for both planned and reactive manufacturing.
Jobs are created from MRP recommendations or raised manually, then progress through planning and allocation before being issued to the factory. Each job links to its defined operations and associated engineering documentation stored within the Assembly record. Bills of materials flow automatically into the job, listing all required subassemblies and components.
Subassemblies are handled as their own jobs within the wider structure, allowing internally manufactured items to be tracked as parts across production.
Where circumstances require, a job can be split so that the original quantity is divided across two or more jobs. Split jobs can be scheduled, processed, and recorded independently while maintaining full traceability back to the originating demand.
On completion, jobs generate serial numbers for finished products and create the corresponding product records. Finished quantities are then booked into stock; an advanced destock option is available when required to move items directly in line with downstream fulfilment or allocation rules.
Operations within a job can include both internal and subcontracted processes. All jobs and operations feed into the Open Projects report, where they can be scheduled, prioritised, and assigned to specific operators on the shop floor.
Work allocation can be monitored and balanced across all operators to ensure optimal use of resources and smooth production flow. Jobs can be fully or partially closed depending on manufacturing progress, giving an accurate real-time view of work in progress.
Operators log into and out of jobs through the integrated timekeeping system. This provides accurate tracking of time spent on each task and supports detailed productivity reporting and analysis.
The live data allows managers to review workload distribution, measure efficiency, and identify areas for improvement. Because all time data is linked directly to the jobs and operations, reporting reflects actual manufacturing activity, not estimates or separate records.
Job progress feeds directly into stock availability and MRP planning. Product records and serial numbers can be created at any stage, for the full job quantity or for partial completions as production progresses. Serial numbers follow configurable formats defined within the assembly records, allowing different product types to include varying structures and identifiers.
These serial numbers and product details are output through the Word merge system, incorporating supplementary information such as model, part number, electrical data, CE marks, and other identification details as required.
This flexible approach maintains traceability across all manufactured items while keeping stock control, production history, and sales fulfilment fully aligned.
Combined with Erpyrean’s structured data control, this supports compliance with ISO and industry traceability standards, ensuring every manufactured item is documented, identifiable, and auditable throughout its lifecycle.
The Production and Jobs module provides complete visibility and control across the factory. From planned production to real-time timekeeping and productivity monitoring, every job connects to stock, MRP, and sales order data.
Erpyrean delivers a single, coherent view of manufacturing operations, clear, traceable, and efficient from start to finish.
