The Manufacturing addon adds a complete production workflow to HDeBooks. Define recipes (bills of materials) for everything you make, run production batches, and let the system deduct raw materials, track wastage and calculate the true cost of every finished unit — automatically. Define exactly which raw materials — and how much of each — go into every finished product. One recipe drives your whole production. Create production orders for any quantity, track them batch by batch, and complete them when the goods are ready. The moment a batch completes, raw materials are deducted from inventory and finished goods are added — no manual stock entries. Material costs roll up into the finished product automatically, so you always know your real margin on everything you make. Record wastage per batch to spot material loss, control shrinkage and keep recipes honest. Get warned before a key ingredient runs out, so production never stops for a missing item. Build the recipe once — materials, quantities, units — and every production run follows it. Completing a batch is one click. Stock, costing and history update themselves. Create your ingredients and finished items as products in HDeBooks, with their purchase and sale prices. Open Manufacturing → Recipes and link each finished product to its raw materials with exact quantities per unit. Choose the recipe, enter the batch quantity — the addon shows every material you will need and flags shortages. One click completes production: raw stock deducts, finished stock adds, wastage is recorded, and the true unit cost is calculated. No. The addon works with the products already in your HDeBooks catalog — you simply mark which are raw materials and which are finished goods, then link them with recipes. Yes. Flour, sugar, packaging — shared ingredients can appear in as many recipes as you like, and stock deducts correctly across all of them. Yes. Recipes store quantities in the unit you define, and the addon converts consistently so stock always balances. The production order warns you about shortages before you start, so you can purchase first or reduce the batch quantity. Call logging, lead pipeline and agent performance tracking for sales and support teams. A lightweight Windows agent that logs PC activity to your HDeBooks dashboard. Attendance, shifts, leave and payroll automation with selfie + location verification. This addon extends HdeBooks.
