Production accounting at the enterprise

Production accounting at an enterprise is not a log of “how much was done per shift,” but an answer to the owner’s main question: how much does it cost to produce a unit of product and how much we actually earned per batch. While production accounting lives in the technologist’s head and in scattered tables, the workshop operates, products are shipped, and profit remains a mystery. For furniture, food, clothing or metalworking production in Uzbekistan, this means working in the dark: prices are set “according to the market”, raw materials are written off by eye, and unprofitable products are kept in stock for years because no one has calculated their cost.

Why is production without accounting bad?

Without production accounting, the cost is calculated “by eye”: the technologist approximately remembers how much chipboard and edges are spent on the cabinet, the accountant estimates the salary, and overhead costs are not allocated to the product at all. As a result, the price is set out of thin air - somewhere they put in too much and lost the tender, somewhere they sold it below cost and didn’t notice. Raw materials are not taken into account: the balances in the warehouse are known once a month from inventory, and between audits it is impossible to say whether there will be enough flour and packaging for the production plan or whether the line will stop in the middle of the shift. The defect goes nowhere - the damaged batch is remade, but the lost raw materials and operator hours are not included in the calculation, and the real margin turns out to be lower than the paper one. When a large order arrives, you cannot answer in a minute how much materials and people it will require and how much profit it will bring.

What does production accounting provide in Taska?

Production accounting in Taska is built around the composition of the product and the actual consumption of resources, and not around rough estimates. The system leads the entire chain - from the specification and plan to the warehouse of finished products and calculation of profit for each batch:

• Specifications (BOM) - the exact composition of the product: what raw materials, components and in what quantity are needed per unit of product
• Accounting for raw materials and finished products in the warehouse: receipt of materials, write-off for production and capitalization of output are recorded automatically
• Actual cost: materials plus piecework payment plus invoices are posted to the product, the real unit price is visible, not the planned one
• Output accounting for operations: each stage and work center notes how much has been done - transparently, where is the bottleneck and how much is in work
• Control of defects: rejected products and lost raw materials are written off separately, losses are visible in numbers and are not hidden in the total mass
• Piece-rate payment: wages are calculated from the actual output of operations and are immediately included in the cost of the batch

Communication with warehouse, sales, finance

The main return appears when production does not stand as a separate island, but is connected with warehouse, sales and finance in one system. An order from CRM turns into a production order, planning (MRP) itself calculates the need for raw materials, checks the balances in the warehouse and suggests what needs to be purchased in order to avoid missing deadlines. Writing off materials to the workshop immediately reduces warehouse balances, and the finished product enters the warehouse in the same movement and is available for shipment - there is no double manual entry. The actual cost of each batch goes into financial accounting, so the profit report does not show revenue minus “estimate”, but the real margin for the product and for the client. The owner sees an end-to-end picture: from the buyer’s application to the money in the account, with a clear cost of each step.

For whom and turnkey implementation

Production accounting in Taska is needed by enterprises where a product is assembled from materials and undergoes several operations: furniture workshops, food production, sewing and textile workshops, metalworking and assembly areas. If there are dozens of items in the assortment, raw materials are purchased in batches, and employees are paid by the piece, accounting pays off already in the first batches due to the exact cost and control of write-offs. We implement turnkey: we transfer your specifications and nomenclature, set up work centers and operations, warehouses for raw materials and finished products, a piecework payment scheme at your prices. We launch the first working circuit - MVP - in 14 days, then expand it. The system can be owned or subscribed, the interface and support are in Russian, payments are made in sums (UZS).
