Production Reports
Eight tabular reports cover the production side. Where Dashboards are visual and meant for browsing, reports are list-shaped and meant for filtering, exporting, sharing.
The eight reports
Production Release Overview — readiness of every Production Order to be released. Surfaces orders waiting on materials, missing Tech Pack readiness, missing Batch plans. Use it before your weekly release meeting.
Production Batch Status — every active Batch with state, current operation, planned vs actual completion, and quantity completed. The tabular cousin of the Where Is It dashboard; useful when you want to export to a spreadsheet.
Batch Card Labor Summary — labor minutes and cost per Batch Card, grouped by Production Unit and operation. Use it for daily labor reconciliation, payroll inputs, and identifying units where actual minutes consistently diverge from SMV.
Production Order Bottlenecks — for active orders, the report surfaces the operation that's currently the constraint. Often Stitching, sometimes Wash or Finishing. Knowing the bottleneck is the first step to relieving it.
Production Unit Load — same data as the unit load dashboard, but in a sortable table. Useful when you want to send a "who's overloaded next week" list to your scheduling lead.
Marker Order Efficiency — for each Marker Order, the report shows yield, fabric consumed per ply, total pieces, and an efficiency score against expected yield for the pattern. Use it to identify patterns whose markers are drifting from spec.
Batch Production Tracker — real-time progress per Batch: percent complete by operation, hours elapsed, hours remaining. The report a production manager keeps open in a browser tab during a busy week.
Production Stock Summary — materials and WIP inventory in the production warehouses, with what's planned, what's issued, what's available. Reconciles closely with the standard ERPNext stock reports but with a production lens.
Building your own reports
Beyond these eight, any list view in Production can be turned into a saved report through Frappe's Report Builder. Common ones factories build for themselves:
- A "Batches completed this week by Brand" report for brand reporting.
- A "Defects by operation this month" report for quality reviews.
- A "Subcontractor cost variance" report comparing PI cost to Blanket Order rate.
If you find yourself filtering the same list view the same way every Monday, save it as a Report. Future you will thank present you.
