Run production from order to cost on one record
From bills of materials and routings to MRP, from production order to confirmation; every movement is written to stock, cost and accounting at once.
A confirmed production order in Hadron: components, order summary and variance against standard cost
From planning to cost, complete on the shop floor
The tools your production team uses every day, on one screen.
Bill of materials editing screen in Hadron: components, quantities and units
Bills of materials and routings
Multi-level bills of materials, operation routings and work centres. Variants inherit the parent product’s bill.
MRP and planned orders
Proposes planned orders from demand, stock and open orders. In make-to-order, each order is linked to its sales order.
Subcontracting
A subcontracted step in the routing opens its own purchase order; the cost flows to the order and scrap is measured.
Batch and serial traceability
Batches are consumed by expiry date; trace both ways, from a batch back to raw material and forward to customers.
Actual cost
Material, activity, subcontracting and production overhead add up on the order; the variance is settled at close.
A released production order: status line, components and order summary
Production orders and confirmation
Components are checked on release; partial and operation-level confirmations post consumption and finished goods.
Five steps from demand to close
Each step uses the record of the one before; nothing is entered twice.
Demand
Sales orders and stock requirements enter planning.
- Make-to-stock or make-to-order is chosen per material
- In make-to-order, each order is linked to its sales order
- The sales order shows quantities produced, in production and planned
Production order list: product, confirmed quantity, plant and status
Planning
MRP proposes planned orders; the planner approves and converts them.
- Demand, stock, safety stock and open orders are taken into account
- Purchase requisitions are proposed for bought-in material
- Operations are scheduled forwards or backwards against capacity
Resource and capacity load report: orders and times per work centre
Release
Component availability is checked and the order goes to the shop floor.
- Component availability is checked by date
- A subcontracted step in the routing opens its purchase order automatically
- Operators open the order on the shop-floor terminal by scanning its barcode
Component check before release: required, available and missing quantity
Confirmation
Quantity produced, material consumed and batch are entered on screen or on the shop-floor terminal.
- Partial and operation-level confirmation
- Consumption, goods receipt and scrap in one transaction
- For batch-managed material, the nearest-expiry batch is consumed first
Production confirmation form: confirmed and scrap quantity, posting date, output batch
Cost and close
Actual cost adds up on the order; the variance is posted to accounting in the same transaction.
- Material, work centre activity, subcontracting and overhead on the order
- The variance against standard cost is posted at close
- Work in progress is posted to the balance sheet at period end

Every confirmation writes to the other modules at once
No interim transfers, no overnight integrations, no month-end reconciliation.
- Procurement & InventoryComponent consumption and goods receipt update stock quantity and value instantly.
- Finance & AccountingEvery goods movement creates a journal entry in the same transaction; stock and accounting never drift apart.
- Costing & ControllingWork centre activity prices come from cost accounting; order cost and variance are reported.
- Warehouse ManagementRolls, cartons and pallets created at confirmation are placed in storage bins as barcoded units.
- Sales & DistributionIn make-to-order, the sales order shows quantities produced, in production and planned.
About production planning
The most common questions before going live.
Yes. The planning strategy is set per material and plant. For make-to-stock materials, demand is combined. For make-to-order materials, each planned order stays linked to its own sales order, and free stock in the warehouse is never counted towards another customer’s order.
The subcontracted step is defined in the routing. When the order is released, a purchase order for the subcontractor is opened automatically. Material is sent to the subcontractor, and when the product comes back the subcontracting cost is written to the production order. The scrap report shows sent and returned quantities for each subcontract order.
No. Material consumption, activity and subcontracting cost are written to the order instantly with confirmations and goods receipts. When the order closes, the variance against standard cost is calculated and posted to accounting in the same transaction.
Operators scan the production order barcode on an Android shop-floor terminal and enter the confirmation. Each confirmation is written to the same record as the office screens; no separate transfer is needed.
The batch with the nearest expiry date is consumed first (FEFO). Blocked or expired batches are never selected. Consumed batches are linked to the batch produced, so you can trace back from finished goods to raw material, and forward from raw material to the batches made from it and the customers who received them.
Yes. Process industries such as food and chemicals use process orders that work with recipes and phases; quality inspections can be attached to phases. Discrete and process manufacturing run side by side in the same system.
