Operations Flow

Operations Flow

From Recipe To Proof of Delivery

ERP ties stock, production, suppliers, customers, and cash so planners and QA share one timeline — critical when every batch needs identity and every handoff needs evidence.

Multi-Industry

Traceability by design

Lots, batches, and production executions link backward to ingredients and forward to deliveries, supporting audits and recalls.

Multi-Industry

Traceability by design

Plans consume sub-recipes, expected purchases, pending sales, and on-hand stock so the shop floor and buying stay synchronized.

Connected

Warehouse discipline

Picklists follow FIFO/FEFO; expiry warnings and QR labeling reduce risk in fast-moving cold chains.

AI-Powered

Modular adoption

Turn on manufacturing depth where needed; still use the same product, CRM, and finance fabric across the business.

Once it’s fully complete, it should be a dream come true for any food safety or operations professional, truly a gift in terms of efficiency and control.

Manufacturing Process

Production Pipeline

End-to-end sequence as documented in OneAvant Production — from blueprints through staging to completed runs. This is an overview, not a substitute for the live product.

Define Recipes (blueprints)

Ingredients, nested sub-recipes, steps, yield and scrap, production floor, and lot labeling. Only Active recipes appear in planning.

Plan Production

Multi-day wizard with templates; review executions (parents and auto-generated sub-recipe runs) before save. Use View requirements to aggregate materials for the date range.

Auto-generated Material Requisitions

When a plan is saved, the system creates material requisitions from the issuing inventory to the trolley inventory for supplied ingredients (materials whose type has “Has suppliers”). Sub-recipe products become child executions, not requisition lines.

Source Missing Materials

If stock cannot cover requirements, raise purchase requisitions and buying workflows so the plan can be fed.

Issue Materials (store operations)

Reserve, pick, and send materials from the issuing inventory against requisitions so the trolley side can receive staged stock.

Build Trolleys

Trolley documents group issued materials per execution; team completes transfers, production approves or rejects, then finalizes — linking cleanly to execution ingredient status.

Execute Production

Executions (usually from planning) carry lot labels, planned quantity, and requirement status. Record produced quantity and complete the run; predecessors show which parents depend on shared intermediates.

Engine Logic

How The Engine Behaves

How The Engine Behaves

Shared recipe merging

Same recipe, floor, and production date → one execution; quantities merge across products and even across separate planning sessions.

Predecessor executions

Child runs (sub-recipes) show parent products and each parent’s required quantity, essential when intermediates are shared.

Inventory prerequisites

Automatic requisitions need issuing and trolley inventory; trolley documents auto-create when stock is issued into a trolley-tagged location.
