For Producers & Manufacturers

From raw material to sold goods.

Buy materials, produce against bills of materials, stock the finished goods, and sell them — with consumption, wastage, and cost read from what actually happened on the floor, not a spreadsheet estimate.

  • Production orders that consume and produce stock
  • Labour and overhead in the cost, if you want it
  • Purchasing and sales on the same books

What a Producers & Manufacturers setup on Flowyana covers.

Flowyana is production and manufacturing software for small and mid-size producers: food and bakery, cosmetics, furniture, packaging, chemicals, and assembly. Raw materials are bought and received into stock, production orders consume components per the bill of materials and produce finished goods, and those goods are sold and invoiced. Cost and margin come from real purchase prices and real runs, all in one set of books.

Small manufacturers usually know their recipe but not their true cost. Material prices move with every purchase, wastage is a guess, and labour lives in a payroll file nobody links to the product. Flowyana keeps purchases, stock, production, and sales on the same records, so the cost of a finished unit is built from what you actually paid and what you actually used. If you want labour and overhead in the cost too, switch on absorption and add them to the bill of materials.

It fits a date-processing plant in Al Ain, a bakery supplying cafés in Jeddah, a soap maker in Muscat, or a furniture workshop in Cairo or Durban. It is not a full MRP system with capacity planning and machine scheduling. It is the practical core a growing producer needs, joined to inventory, purchasing, sales, and accounting.

The workflow

How producers & manufacturers run on Flowyana.

  1. Buy

    Materials in

    Purchase orders and supplier bills bring raw materials into stock and payables onto the books.

  2. Produce

    Orders against BOMs

    A production order consumes components per the bill of materials and produces finished goods — stock moves on both sides.

  3. Stock

    Finished goods, counted

    Output lands in inventory with full movement history, ready for orders.

  4. Sell

    Out the door, on the books

    Sales consume finished stock and post revenue — cost and margin read from real consumption.

Common problems

What it fixes.

In depth

A closer look.

Bills of materials and production orders

A bill of materials lists the components and quantities for a batch of a finished product, with a yield. A product can have several BOMs, and a BOM can be copied to start a new one. When you raise a production order, quantities scale to the batch size, with planned wastage included. Running the order issues components from the warehouse you choose, including specific batches, and produces the finished goods into stock. By-products are valued at their own cost, so a cut, trim, or second-grade output is not lost from stock.

  • Several BOMs per product, with copy
  • Quantities scaled to the batch, with planned wastage
  • Batch-tracked components and finished goods
  • By-products valued at their own cost

Production costing with labour and overhead

Material cost comes from moving-average valuation, so every purchase price flows into the cost of what you make. Labour and overhead absorption is an optional switch. When it is on, a BOM can carry cost lines by hours, a fixed amount, or a percentage of material, and production orders absorb them into the cost of finished goods through work in progress. The production cost, labour-hours, and absorption variance reports show where the cost came from.

  • Production and production cost reports
  • Labour-hours report
  • Absorption variance in accounting

Raw material purchasing and stock

Suppliers carry their price lists and lead times. Purchase orders, goods receipts, and supplier bills bring materials into stock, and landed costs like freight and duty are spread across the received lines. Low-stock alerts per branch suggest a reorder quantity and the preferred supplier. Batches with expiry dates and first-expiry-first-out picking suit food, cosmetics, and chemicals.

  • Landed costs on purchase bills
  • Batch and expiry tracking
  • Low-stock alerts with suggested reorder quantities

Selling finished goods

Finished goods are sold through quotations, sales orders, delivery notes, and invoices, or through a POS if you also have a shop. Each sale moves stock and posts revenue and cost of goods, so the gross margin report reflects what production really cost. Wholesale clients on credit appear in AR aging.

Accounting that follows the floor

Purchases, production, and sales post automatically: materials to stock, issues to work in progress, finished goods back to stock, and cost of goods on sale, with VAT split on every bill and invoice. The trial balance, P&L, balance sheet, and tax reports read from those postings, and an inventory reconciliation report checks that stock in the books matches stock on hand.

Automation

The busywork runs itself.

Workflows watch what happens in your business and act on your rules — assign, notify, create the follow-up. Set them once and the process stops depending on who’s on shift.

Questions

Asked by producers & manufacturers.

Is Flowyana manufacturing software for small producers?

Yes. It covers bills of materials, production orders that consume components and produce finished goods, production costing, raw material purchasing, stock, sales, and accounting. It is built for small and mid-size producers rather than large plants.

Is this full MRP?

No. There is no capacity planning or machine scheduling. It is production for small and mid-size producers: BOMs, production orders, costing, and stock, joined to purchasing, sales, and accounting. If your needs run deeper, talk to us and we will be straight about fit.

Does production update inventory automatically?

Yes. Components leave stock and finished goods enter it when the order runs, with the movement history kept per product and batch.

Can we see what production actually costs?

Yes. Components are valued at moving-average cost from real purchase bills, including landed costs, and the production cost report shows the cost per order. Labour and overhead can be added through absorption.

How is wastage handled?

Each BOM component can carry a planned wastage percentage, so production orders draw the extra material. Unplanned losses go through stock adjustments with a reason.

Can we track batches and expiry dates for food or cosmetics?

Yes. Components and finished goods can be batch-tracked with expiry dates, with first-expiry-first-out picking and batch trace reports.

Does it work for manufacturers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt?

Yes. Purchases and sales carry your country’s VAT, documents can print in Arabic and English, and the workflow is the same in every country.

Can a restaurant or bakery use recipes too?

Yes. A recipe is a bill of materials. Restaurants can deduct ingredients as dishes sell, and a bakery producing in batches can use production orders.
