Xero Accounting for Manufacturing: Track Costs and Inventory in Xero
Introduction: The Need for Specialised Accounting Software in Manufacturing
Welcome to JacRox, a brand division of Jack Ross Chartered Accountants in Manchester. We are dedicated to offering expert Xero services to a wide variety of clients, from sole traders to large corporations. If you are in need of state-of-the-art cloud accounting software, use the contact form on the right and one of our JacRox team will be in touch to discuss next steps.
The manufacturing sector is complex and demands an accounting software that can handle not just finances but also inventory management. Welcome to the world of Xero. If you run a manufacturing business in the UK, Xero’s inventory management features offer a comprehensive solution for tracking inventory and costs. Let us explore why Xero is the accounting software you should consider using for your manufacturing business.
What Makes Xero Stand Out?
Xero is a cloud inventory platform that integrates seamlessly with various aspects of a manufacturing business. From raw material tracking to finished product accounting, Xero offers an all-in-one solution. The software is highly adaptable, meaning it can evolve alongside your manufacturing processes and business needs. Moreover, its cloud-based nature means you can access your inventory data from anywhere, at any time, thus ensuring you are always in control.
Key Features: Why Use Xero for Tracking Inventory in Manufacturing?
Real-Time Inventory Management
- Tracked Inventory Items: Xero allows you to track the quantities and values of individual inventory items in real time. This real-time tracking ensures that you always have an accurate picture of your inventory levels, aiding in efficient stock management.
- Cost of Goods Sold: Xero automatically updates your inventory account to accurately reflect the cost of goods sold. This feature is crucial for understanding profitability and for making informed business decisions.
Raw Material and Bill of Materials
- Raw Material: With Xero, you can track raw materials and integrate them into your manufacturing orders. This ensures a seamless transition from procurement to production, thereby reducing potential bottlenecks.
- Bill of Materials: Xero helps you create and manage a bill of materials for each finished product. This is vital for calculating manufacturing costs and for keeping track of individual components.
Add-Ons and Integrations
- Third-Party Xero Inventory Add-Ons: For businesses that need advanced inventory features, Xero itself recommends several third-party inventory add-ons. These add-ons can be easily integrated to provide functionalities like batch tracking, serial number tracking, and more.
- Xero ERP Integration: Xero integrates seamlessly with ERP systems, enhancing its inventory management functionality. This means you can centralise your business processes, from accounting to inventory and beyond.
Inventory Adjustment and Untracked Items
- Inventory Adjustment: Xero allows you to make periodic inventory adjustments to account for discrepancies. This is particularly useful for reconciling physical stock counts with recorded inventory levels.
- Untracked Inventory: For items you don’t need to track, Xero offers the option of untracked inventory. This is helpful for non-core items or supplies that do not require detailed tracking.
