KoreLab Planning starts from your customers' orders and tells you what you have to deliver and when, how much to produce net of what you already have in stock, and — going down the bill of materials — how many kg of dough and semi-finished items you need and whether raw materials and packaging are enough.
Planning is included in the Business plan, together with the customer and supplier orders it reads from. Free, Starter, Qualità and Pro do not include it.
Anyone who produces to deliver does it every day: gathers the orders, checks the warehouse, works through the recipe. And starts over every time.
Ten orders, five customers, different dates: the total per product and per day gets rebuilt on a sheet, and one forgotten order is enough to get production wrong.
How much do you already have ready, and until when is it good? Without looking at lots and their expiry dates you produce twice as much, or find out at the last minute that the lot in the cold room expires before the delivery.
The packs to make become kg of dough, then semi-finished items, then raw materials and packaging, each with its own processing loss. Doing it by hand every day is where mistakes are born.
Flour or cartons run out on the day you need them. Knowing in advance what is missing, and how much, is the difference between a supplier order and a missed delivery.
Two views, one after the other: first what to deliver, then what to prepare to make it.
For each product, how much you have to deliver: one column per day in the first week, then per week, with overdue deliveries and orders without a date. Choose the horizon — 7, 14, 30 days or all — and search a product by name.
Next to each product, the usable stock — released, non-expired lots — and the «to produce», with the date of the first uncovered delivery. Lots expiring sooner are used first.
Tap a row to see the orders it is made of, with customer, delivery date and quantity. Only what is still to be delivered counts: whatever already left with a delivery note is no longer counted.
The packs to make, the dough kg grossed up by the weight loss, doughs and semi-finished items net of those already in stock, and raw materials and packaging — cartons included — with their coverage: covered, only with quarantine and incoming, or how much is missing.
From a dough or packing row, «Start production» opens the form with the recipe and kg, or the product and packs, already entered. It saves nothing on its own: you check and press Save yourself.
Lead days for dough and semi-finished items, Saturday as a working day, rounding to whole recipe batches, and grouping by recipe to see together every pack to make from the same dough. Export the production sheet and the shopping list as CSV.
So you know exactly what to count on.
| Aspect | With KoreLab | What it is NOT |
|---|---|---|
| What it reads | Customer orders, delivery notes and lots you already record in KoreLab | It writes nothing: it is a read-only view |
| Dates | The last useful day for dough, packing and semi-finished items | Not a requirement: an «at the latest» suggestion, produce whenever you like |
| Missing data | Flagged separately: pack weight, recipe, weight loss, «as needed» lines | It makes up no numbers: a line without data stays out of the totals |
| Production and purchasing | Pre-filled production and a CSV of raw materials and packaging to buy | It does not record production or send supplier orders on its own |
| Capacity | Quantities and dates from orders and recipes | It does not schedule machines, shifts or plant capacity |
Planning is in the Business plan, with customer and supplier orders, multi-warehouse and the CRM.
