Know the cost before you set the price.
Bill of materials, production orders, and cost tracking for businesses that make things.
Manufacturing businesses set prices based on estimated cost. But the actual cost is only known after the production run is complete, materials consumed, labour applied, overhead absorbed. If the variance is unfavourable, the margin is already gone. Trabalance tracks production cost in real time, compares it to the cost card, and gives you variance visibility before the goods leave the floor.
Define the cost card
Materials at standard price, labour at standard rate, overhead at configured allocation. The benchmark.
Run production
Issue an order against the BOM. Materials consumed. Labour recorded. Cost accumulates in real time.
Measure variance
Actual vs standard. Material price, labour efficiency, overhead absorption, all calculated and posted.
