Know the true cost of everything you make.
Build your product recipe once, and MGH Books costs every production run for you — materials, yield and wastage included — so you price with confidence and stop leaking margin you can't see.

The problem
If you don't know your real cost per unit, you're pricing in the dark.
Raw material prices move every month. Some material is wasted, some yield is lost, labour and overheads get ignored. Without a system tying it together, your 'cost' is a rough guess — and every wrong guess is margin gone.
Costing is guesswork
You add a margin on a number you're not sure of, and hope it's enough.
Material vanishes
Wastage and pilferage aren't tracked, so they quietly eat profit.
Production and stock disagree
Finished goods and raw material balances don't match reality.
Reorders are reactive
You discover a raw material shortage only when production stops.
Why existing tools fall short
Why generic accounting tools can't run a factory
They have no bill of materials, so they can't cost what you produce.
Raw material consumption isn't linked to production, so stock drifts.
No yield or wastage tracking, so losses stay invisible.
No material requirement planning, so buying is always last-minute.
How MGH Books solves it
From recipe to finished goods, fully costed and fully tracked.
Define a bill of materials for each product, run production against it, and MGH Books consumes the right raw materials, records yield and wastage, and gives you the true cost per unit. Material requirement planning tells you what to buy before you run short.
- Accurate cost per unit, including materials, yield and wastage.
- Raw material consumed automatically as you produce.
- MRP so you buy the right materials at the right time.
What's inside
Everything you need, deeply built
Bill of Materials (BOM)
Define what goes into each product — materials, quantities and sub-assemblies — once, and reuse it for every run.
Example. A candle maker sets a BOM of wax, wick, fragrance and jar per unit; every batch uses it automatically.
Production
Run production against a BOM; raw materials are consumed and finished goods added to stock in one step.
Example. A food manufacturer produces 500 packets; ingredients leave stock and finished packets are added.
Costing
Get the real cost per unit including material, yield and overhead — so pricing is based on facts.
Example. A textile unit sees that rising yarn prices pushed cost per metre up 9%, and revises rates before margin slips.
MRP
Material Requirement Planning works out what raw material you need for planned production and flags shortfalls.
Example. For next week's orders, MRP shows you're short 40 kg of a chemical — buy now, not at the last minute.
Yield
Track expected versus actual output, so you can see and fix process losses.
Example. A run expected to yield 1,000 units produced 940; the 6% loss is now visible and measurable.
Waste
Record scrap and wastage by reason, turning invisible losses into numbers you can act on.
Example. A pharma unit logs rejected tablets per batch and traces wastage to one machine.
Material Consumption
See exactly how much of each raw material went into production over any period.
Example. Month-end shows actual wax consumed versus the standard — a quick check on theft or over-use.
Production Reports
Output, cost, yield and wastage reports that tell you which products and lines actually make money.
Example. A report reveals one product line runs at near-zero margin once wastage is counted.
Industry Templates
Starting points tuned to common Indian manufacturing — candles, food, textiles, chemicals and pharma.
Example. A new chemical unit starts from a template instead of a blank screen.

How it works
A workflow that runs itself
- 1
Define the BOM
List materials and quantities per product, once.
- 2
Plan with MRP
See what to buy for upcoming production.
- 3
Run production
Materials are consumed and finished goods created automatically.
- 4
Review true cost
Cost per unit, yield and wastage, run by run.
The payoff
What you get back
True
cost per unit, every run
Visible
