Paint production: recipes, costing and price lists in Torgsoft

Paint and coatings production

How to manage recipes, packaging, cost and price lists in Torgsoft

Torgsoft stores recipes in technological cards, keeps records of raw materials and packaging, creates production acts, writes off materials during production, calculates the actual cost of a batch and a unit of product, helps set selling prices and generate a price list.

Accounting structure

How to organize directories for paint and coatings products

Raw materials, packaging, the base product and each package size are created as separate items. This structure links material purchasing, production, finished goods stock and sales.

Raw materials and packaging

Pigments, resins, solvents, additives, buckets, lids and labels are recorded with their own units of measure, purchase prices and stock balances.

Base product

Paint without packaging can be recorded as a semi-finished product with its own technological card and list of materials.

Packaged products

Paint in 0.8 kg, 2.5 kg, 25 kg and 50 kg packaging is created as a separate finished item. Each item has its own technological card.

Selling prices

Retail and wholesale prices, markups and rounding rules are maintained for finished goods. Prices can be changed for a selected product group.

Recipes and packaging

A two-level scheme without repeating the entire recipe

The technological card of the base paint contains raw materials. The technological card of the packaged item contains the required quantity of the semi-finished product and the specific packaging. If the finished product contains a semi-finished product, Torgsoft takes into account the materials from its technological card and automatically creates a linked production act.

Production sequence

Raw materials Base paint Packaging Packaged item Stock

For each package size the finished product composition specifies the quantity of base paint and one unit of the relevant packaging.

How to transfer a recipe for 1000 kg

The technological card defines materials for one accounting unit of the product, while the batch quantity is specified when creating the production act. A recipe for 1000 kg can be converted into norms per 1 kg, and the required number of kilograms can be produced in a batch.

Workflow

From raw material receipt to finished goods

Receive raw materials and packaging

The goods receipt records the supplier, quantity and actual purchase price of each batch.

Create a production act

The act is created from a ready technological card. The user specifies the quantity of products in the batch and, if needed, adjusts materials and operations.

Check material availability

Before creating the act, the program checks whether raw materials are available. If there are not enough materials, the production act is not created.

Release products

During release, Torgsoft writes off the materials used, creates linked stock documents and records the finished goods.

Get the actual cost

The program calculates the cost of the batch and product unit from the cost of materials used and operations performed.

Price updates

How a new raw material price becomes the finished product price

The new purchase price is recorded in the next raw material receipt. After products are manufactured from this raw material, Torgsoft calculates the actual cost of the produced batch. Then selling prices are set for the required goods or product groups.

1. Receipt

New batch of raw materials

The receipt document specifies the new purchase price of the component.

In the program: stock accounting for raw materials and their batches is updated.
2. Output

Production act for finished goods

An act for the required product and package size is created from the technological card.

In the program: materials are written off and the cost of the produced batch is calculated.
3. Prices

Selling price calculation

Goods can be selected by type, manufacturer, supplier or other available filters, and the retail or wholesale markup can be changed.

In the program: the price is applied immediately or through a revaluation act.
4. Price list

Price list for sales

In the customer price list, prices can be calculated as a markup on cost, rounding can be set and a file can be generated.

Formats: PDF, HTML, Word, Excel, text document or JPEG.

Practical questions for this type of production

Is it necessary to repeat all components for each package size

The base paint can be recorded as a semi-finished product with a separate technological card. In the packaged item card, it is enough to specify the required quantity of the semi-finished product and the relevant packaging.

How to account for different packaging for one product

Each package size is created as a separate finished item. Its technological card specifies its own packaging, so its cost is included in the cost of that specific item.

Can a material be replaced in a specific batch

An analogue can be defined for a material in the technological card. When working with the production act, the user selects an allowed replacement from the available goods.

How to account for production waste

A material can be added to the technological card with a waste quantity. Depending on the setting, Torgsoft creates a write-off or receipt of waste during production.

How to set different prices for package sizes

Because package sizes are separate goods, different retail and wholesale prices, markups and rounding rules can be set for them.

How to create a separate price list for a customer

In the «Customer price list» mode, you can select a customer, calculate prices as a markup on cost or as a discount from the selling price, set rounding and export the finished document.

Initial directories

Raw materials, packaging, finished goods, units of measure and purchase prices

Technological data

Recipes, material norms, semi-finished products, packaging and production operations

Before starting work it is worth preparing one verified recipe, several package sizes and actual material balances. Using this example, you can set up the structure, check production output and only then transfer the entire assortment.
For whom

When this accounting scheme is appropriate

Repeatable recipes

The company regularly produces identical products and uses defined raw material norms.

Several package sizes

One base product is sold in different packaging, and the cost of each finished item must be calculated separately.

Actual cost

Pricing requires the cost of materials and operations used in a specific production batch.

Sale of own products

After production, finished goods are received into stock and sold retail or wholesale in the same system.

Check the production scenario on your own recipe

For a demonstration, one base recipe, two package sizes, and a list of raw materials and packaging are enough. With this data, technological cards, a production act, output, cost and price list generation can be shown.
