From recipe to finished goods, costed

No. Desktop ships single-level BOM with production vouchers. Routings, work centres, MES, quality and MRP are Cloud-only.

BOM, routings, work orders, MES, quality and MRP. In practice that means recipes that cost themselves, a run moves stock, variance against standard and quality and traceability — each of which is a working screen rather than a line on a roadmap. The full breakdown, with what every one of them does, is on this page above.

It is not a separate product and there is nothing to integrate. Manufacturing reads and writes the same database as the ledger, stock and customer master, so a figure it shows is the figure the books hold — not a copy synced overnight, and not a number you have to reconcile against another screen before you trust it.

On the Desktop edition, yes — completely. Manufacturing runs against a database on your own machine, so it behaves identically with the network unplugged; only AI and billing reach out. On the Cloud edition it runs in the browser and needs a connection, with the POS till the one deliberate exception.

Not as a feature of this application, and we would rather say so than claim it. The AI surfaces in LekhaPro — Copilot, the CFO, the deterministic insight engines — read the data Manufacturing produces, so its records inform them, but Manufacturing itself is deliberately a plain, fast, keyboard-first application.

It is built for Manufacturing, Textile & Garment and Auto Parts & Service in particular, and it is not exclusive to them — Manufacturing is part of the horizontal suite, so any business on LekhaPro can switch it on. Those trades are named because their industry pages describe how Manufacturing is used in that specific line of work.

Yes. Access is by role rather than all-or-nothing, so a billing clerk can reach Manufacturing without reaching the books behind it, and an approver can see what needs a decision without editing anything else. On the Cloud edition every change also carries who made it and when.

Manufacturing is part of the suite, not a paid add-on billed per use. What your plan tier decides is reach and depth — how many devices connect, multi-branch and multi-warehouse reporting, and whether the conversational AI copilots are switched on. The full accounting core is in every plan, including the entry tier.

Yes — 14 days, no card. The honest way to evaluate Manufacturing is with your own masters and your own transactions rather than sample data, because the questions that matter are about your business's edge cases, not ours. Nothing is deleted if you decide against it.

Yes. On the Desktop edition the books — including everything Manufacturing records — sit in a local database on your own disk with scheduled encrypted backups you control, so stopping payment leaves you holding a readable file. On the Cloud edition your data is isolated to your business by row-level security and exportable from the reports it feeds.
