Manufacturing
Turning bought things into made things, and knowing what it cost.
Bills of materials, routings, work centres, production orders, quality and costing. Releasing an order checks availability; issuing consumes by FEFO and records lot genealogy; completing books the finished goods and sends the variance where variances go.
Watch for: Release blocks on a shortage unless somebody overrides it with a reason — and the reason is kept on the order.
