Manufacturers running ERPNext get accurate landed costs on finished goods through the Stock Ledger and the Manufacture-type Stock Entry, but they hit a wall when the cost accountant asks the next question: why did this batch cost more than it should have? ERPNext core computes an actual cost per Work Order from consumed materials and applied operating costs, but it does not hold a governed standard cost, and it does not decompose the gap between standard and actual into material price, material usage (quantity), labor rate, labor efficiency, overhead absorption, and scrap. Controllers end up exporting Stock Ledger and Job Card rows into spreadsheets every month-end to reconstruct variances by hand — slow, error-prone, and impossible to drill from a P&L number back to the operation that caused it.
Standard cost rollup that explodes a multi-level BOM, applying frozen material standards plus operation labor and machine-hour rates to produce a fully-loaded standard cost per finished good and sub-assembly
Immutable `Standard Cost Version` DocType so an approved standard is frozen and auditable; recosting mints a new version rather than overwriting history
Material price variance (actual valuation rate vs standard rate x actual quantity) posted per component from the Manufacture Stock Entry
Material usage/quantity variance (actual consumed qty vs BOM standard qty x standard rate) attributed to the Work Order and BOM line
Labor rate and labor efficiency variance derived from Job Card time logs against standard run rates per Operation and Workstation
Overhead absorption variance comparing applied overhead to standard absorbed overhead on the actual base (labor hours or machine hours)
ECOSIRE builds a proper Frappe application (its own module, not a pile of customizations) that layers standard costing and variance analysis onto your existing ERPNext manufacturing data. We introduce DocTypes such as Standard Cost Version, Standard Cost Rollup, and Production Variance (with child tables for per-component and per-operation variance lines). A standard cost is rolled up from your multi-level BOM — exploding sub-assemblies, applying frozen material standards, and absorbing operation-level labor and machine-hour rates defined per Workstation and Operation. The rollup runs as a whitelisted server-side method so finance can recost on demand or on a scheduled scheduler_events job, and every version is immutable once approved so you always have an audit trail of what standard was in force.
The variance engine hooks into the manufacturing lifecycle via hooks.py doc events — on Work Order completion and on Stock Entry (Manufacture) submit, a server script captures actual consumed quantities, actual valuation rates, and actual operation time from the linked Job Cards, then computes and posts variance lines: material price variance (actual rate vs standard rate x actual qty), material usage variance (actual qty vs standard qty x standard rate), labor rate and efficiency variance from Job Card time logs against standard run rates, overhead absorption variance, and scrap/rework cost attributed back to the operation and cost center that produced it. Results surface as native ERPNext Query/Script Reports with drill-through from the finished-good SKU down to the Work Order, Job Card, and individual operation, plus role-scoped dashboards for the finance controller. Everything is reachable over the Frappe REST API and whitelisted methods so it can feed Power BI or a data warehouse.
Because this is build-to-order, nothing ships as an instant download. We start with a short scoping call to confirm your BOM structure, how you define standards (frozen annual, quarterly, or moving), your overhead absorption basis, and your v15 or v16 target. We then build against a staging bench that mirrors your data, run UAT with your cost accountant on real work orders, and only cut over to production once the numbers reconcile. Typical delivery is 2-4 weeks from confirmed scope. You receive the full app source in a git repository, install and configuration on your environment, documentation, a training session, and a post-go-live support window — you own the code and can extend it yourself or have us maintain it.
Owns the standard cost book and closes manufacturing variances at month-end. Needs standards frozen and auditable, and variances decomposed into price vs usage and rate vs efficiency so they can be explained to management rather than reconstructed in spreadsheets from Stock Ledger exports.
Signs off the manufacturing P&L and needs to tie a variance number in the accounts back to the exact work order, operation, and cost center that caused it. Wants role-scoped dashboards and drill-through inside ERPNext instead of chasing the shop floor for explanations.
Accountable for efficiency and scrap on the floor. Uses operation-level labor efficiency and scrap-attribution reporting to see which workstations and job cards are burning cost against standard, and to target continuous-improvement effort where the variance actually is.
Maintains the ERPNext instance and cares about a clean, upgrade-safe app in its own module with documented hooks and whitelisted methods on v15/v16 — not tangled core patches. Wants the git repo, the schema docs, and the ability to extend or hand it to another team later.

| Critère | ÉCOSIRE | Construction personnalisée | Concurrent | Odoo natif |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard vs actual variance | Full decomposition: material price/usage, labor rate/efficiency, overhead, scrap | Whatever you spec and can build in-house | Often actual-cost reporting only, limited variance breakdown | |
| Standard cost governance | Immutable, versioned standards frozen on approval with audit trail | Depends on your build discipline | Rarely versioned; often a single editable field | |
| Drill-down granularity | SKU to Work Order to Job Card to individual operation | Buildable but costly to get right | Usually stops at work order or item level | |
| Scrap and rework attribution | Traced to the causing operation and cost center | Possible with significant effort | Typically lumped, not operation-attributed | |
| Fit to your policy | Scoped to your BOM, standard basis, and overhead rules | Fully bespoke | Fixed template, configure within limits | |
| Upgrade safety (v15/v16) | Own module via hooks/whitelisted methods, no core patch | Risk of core patches and drift if rushed | Varies by vendor quality | |
| Ownership & extensibility | Full git repo handover, you own the source | You own it, you build it all | Usually licensed, closed or restricted | |
| Time to value | 2-4 weeks build-to-order, UAT on staging first | Months, plus hiring/ramp risk | Instant install but generic fit, then customization |
This is a build-to-order application, so there is no instant download. Typical delivery is 2-4 weeks from confirmed scope. We start with a scoping call, build against a staging bench that mirrors your data, run UAT with your cost accountant, and cut over to production once the variance numbers reconcile. The exact timeline depends on your BOM complexity, how you define standards, and your overhead absorption rules.
We roll the standard up from your multi-level ERPNext BOM. Sub-assemblies are exploded, frozen material standards are applied to each component, and operation-level labor and machine-hour rates (keyed to your Workstation and Operation masters) are absorbed to build a fully-loaded standard cost per finished good. The rollup runs as a whitelisted server-side method, so finance can recost on demand or on a scheduled job, and each approved standard is frozen as an immutable version for audit.
Material price variance (actual valuation rate vs standard x actual qty), material usage variance (actual qty vs BOM standard x standard rate), labor rate and efficiency variance from Job Card time logs, overhead absorption variance, and scrap/rework cost attributed to the causing operation and cost center. Actuals are captured automatically via `hooks.py` doc events on Work Order completion and Manufacture Stock Entry submit, so there is no manual month-end export.
It targets Frappe/ERPNext v15 and v16 and ships as a self-contained Frappe app in its own module. It does not fork or patch ERPNext core — it integrates through documented `hooks.py` doc events, whitelisted server methods, scheduler events, and client scripts, which keeps your instance upgrade-safe. Confirm your exact version on the scoping call and we build against it.
Every build includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and questions. Because you receive the full git repository and own the source, your own team can extend or maintain it. Beyond the included window we offer ongoing support and enhancement retainers, including compatibility work when you upgrade ERPNext to a new major version.
Yes. Standard costs and variances are exposed over the Frappe REST API and whitelisted methods, and surface as native Script/Query Reports inside ERPNext. That lets you feed Power BI, a data warehouse, or scheduled extracts without scraping the desk UI. We can configure the endpoints and role permissions for your BI service account as part of delivery.
The scoping call exists for exactly this. We support frozen annual/quarterly standards or moving standards, and configurable overhead absorption bases (labor hours, machine hours, or a custom driver). We tailor the rollup and variance formulas to your accounting policy rather than forcing you into a fixed template, and document the chosen logic in the technical handover.
