Improve your manufacturing workflow from job creation to completion. Syspro Work in Progress offers visibility and control over production processes, allowing manufacturers to manage work orders, schedules, and resource allocation effectively.
Reduce manual effort and improve data accuracy with automated material issuance and labor posting. Streamline your job processing to eliminate redundant tasks, operate faster, and free up your team to focus on value-added activities.
Take command of job costs with real-time tracking of materials, labor, and overhead. Because of Syspro, you can identify cost variances as they happen, enabling you to make faster adjustments that protect your margins and optimize resource allocation.
Record actual weight at job issue and job receipt for catch weight items, and pass scanned barcode weights straight into job issues with no re-entry. Yield variance and job costing run on real consumption data instead of planned quantities.
Maintain complete visibility and control over outsourced production work. Track inventory sent to subcontractors, monitor progress in real-time, and ensure quality standards are met before items return to your production flow, reducing delays and protecting product quality.
Cut raw material costs and improve competitiveness through intelligent job nesting. Group jobs with common materials to optimize cutting patterns, reduce scrap, and track material utilization accurately, turning waste reduction into a measurable competitive advantage.
Catch defects earlier and reduce rework by embedding inspection requirements directly into your production operations, including catch weight items inspected on actual quantities across count, inspect, scrap, rework, and accept. Automated quality checkpoints at critical stages ensure standards are met before work progresses, improving throughput and on-time delivery while reducing scrap costs.
Receive completed sub-job stock into inventory and let the system allocate it automatically to the master job, so intermediate goods stay protected and visible for scheduling. Authorized users can override allocations for rework or emergencies, while traceability between master and sub-jobs stays intact.
Make smarter decisions with a clear, real-time view of job status and progress across all work centers. Our intuitive dashboards and reports provide the critical information you need to respond to production changes with speed and confidence.
Boost efficiency with smart capacity planning and load leveling. Scheduling tools help distribute workloads evenly, avoid bottlenecks, and ensure the best use of machinery, labor, and materials.
Create, track, and manage work orders from start to finish with full audit trails. The system supports both standard and custom product manufacturing, job scheduling, and automatic calculation of material requirements using Bill of Materials integration.
Issue materials and post labor using various methods such as real-time, batch processing, and backflush operations. Support for substitutions, rework jobs, and subcontracted operations provides flexibility in managing production. Sub-job outputs can be received into inventory and allocated to the master job, rather than only posted directly to it.
Track and manage inventory issued to subcontractors with complete visibility into outsourced production work. Record item details, quantities, and expected return dates while monitoring progress in real-time to identify delays early. When items return from subcontractors, inspection workflows verify quality standards are met before reintroducing them into your production process.
Monitor material, labor, and overhead costs in real-time with detailed variance analysis. Reporting includes WIP valuation, job status tracking, labor efficiency analysis, and monitoring of non-productive time to help with decision making.
Receive completed sub-job stock into inventory instead of posting it directly to the master job. The system automatically allocates that stock to the master job to prevent unintended consumption elsewhere, and authorized users can override or adjust the allocation for rework, emergencies, or production changes. Traceability between master and sub-jobs is maintained throughout, with fewer manual workarounds.
Record inspection transactions, manage scrap and rework, and maintain quality standards throughout production. For catch weight items, WIP Inspection Maintenance accepts both manufactured and actual stock quantities across all five inspection actions: count, inspect, scrap, rework, and accept. The actual quantity drives all downstream calculations and is passed to serial allocation where applicable. Inspection workflows ensure compliance while providing traceability for regulatory needs and improvement initiatives.
Maximize raw material utilization and reduce waste by grouping multiple jobs that share common materials. Job nesting optimizes cutting patterns and material usage, tracks efficiencies, and accurately allocates costs based on actual consumption, helping you improve quoting accuracy and competitiveness.
Generate clear, accurate shop floor documentation including job tickets, material requisitions, route cards, and travelers. Create user-defined formats with barcodes for automated data collection, operation instructions, and technical notes. Intelligent reprint flags identify jobs requiring updated documentation after changes, reducing waste and improving communication. Archive documents as printed and reprint from original formats to maintain audit trails and ensure production teams have the information they need.
Essential for material availability and stock level management during production. Work in Progress automatically updates inventory levels when materials are issued to jobs and finished goods are received, ensuring accurate stock tracking and preventing production delays due to material shortages. Sub-job outputs can be received into stock and automatically allocated to the master job, and catch weight stock is valued on actual weight.
Critical integration for automatic material requirement calculation and job structure. WIP pulls material requirements directly from BOM structures, ensuring accurate material allocation and enabling automatic kit generation for production jobs.
Streamlines procurement processes for production materials and subcontracted services. Integration enables automatic purchase order generation for material shortages identified through trial kitting and direct linking of receipts to specific jobs for accurate cost tracking. Catch weight receipts capture actual received weight, including via barcode scanning, so materials issued to jobs are valued on what was actually delivered.
Provides comprehensive financial integration for accurate cost accounting and reporting. All WIP transactions automatically update GL accounts for materials, labor, and overhead costs, supporting real-time financial visibility and month-end processing.
Links customer orders directly to production jobs for complete order fulfillment tracking. Integration ensures production schedules align with customer delivery requirements while enabling direct job-to-order cost allocation and profitability analysis.
Quality Management supports quality control with inspection workflows. The Inspection Engine lets you build custom test plans and run inspections after purchase order and job receipts, with a dashboard to view results. Unified Product Traceability adds a central framework in Quality Management that captures, stores and reports enhanced traceability data across the product lifecycle. It includes specific support for FSMA 204 key data elements and critical tracking events, and for EU Digital Product Passport requirements. Traceability fields can be configured by product or region, with built-in governance, access control and audit trail.
Optimizes material picking, allocation, and location tracking for production jobs. WIP integration with warehouse management ensures efficient material flow from storage to production while maintaining accurate bin location tracking and pick optimization.
Automate job processing, gain full visibility over manufacturing costs, and optimize production efficiency with Syspro WIP manufacturing software.
