In-house manufacturing
You sell what you manufacture. Do you know what each unit costs you?
Raw materials change in price, waste is lost along the way, and working hours don't appear anywhere. Cost breakdowns and manufacturing orders (RKR Manufacturing) puts the recipe for each product inside PrestaShop: it calculates its real cost, tells you how many units you can manufacture today with what you have in the warehouse and moves the stock when you finish each order.
5 states
by manufacturing order: draft, planned, in progress, completed and canceled, with the history of each change
3 options
If materials are missing upon completion: block the order, complete it stopping at zero, or allow negative stock.

compatible with PrestaShop from the 1.7.8 up to 9.x
/ How much does it really cost to manufacture one unit?
Each finished product has its own cost breakdownThe recipe includes the raw materials, the quantity of each, their unit of measurement (pieces, meters, kilos, liters, etc.), and the time required. The module calculates the cost per unit and recalculates it live as you edit, before saving.
Raw materials at cost price
Use the cost price of each product or, if available, the cost price of their combination. If you prefer, you can change to the selling price excluding taxes in the production settings.
Losses per line and for the entire cost breakdown
One percentage applies to the entire recipe (cuttings, losses, evaporation), and another percentage applies to each material. These percentages are added together and increase the amount consumed, so any losses are also factored into the cost.
Labour
Working minutes × hourly rate. There is a general rate in the settings and you can set a different rate for a specific bill of materials.
Several units per print run
If one roll of fabric yields four bags, you indicate four units per run and the cost is divided between them.
/ How many can you make today, and when will you run out?
In the list of cost breakdowns you see, next to the unit cost, the units you can manufacture with the current stock For raw materials: for each material, the quantity you have is divided by the quantity needed for one unit (including waste), and the quantity that runs out first is sent. The same material can appear in several bills of materials: all are calculated against the same stock.
When that number drops to the threshold you set (5 units by default), the Panel alerts you with the limiting materials and the list marks the bill of materials with a missing badge.
/ Manufacturing orders with history
You create an order from a bill of materials, and before creating it, you see each material needed, the current stock, what's missing, and the total cost of the batch. Each order has an automatic reference (the prefix you choose, the year, and a counter, like MO-2026-0001), a planned date, and notes, and goes through draft, planned, in progress, and completed, or it is cancelled. Each change is recorded in the order history with its date.
Upon completion, the stock moves automatically
Raw materials are deducted and the finished product is added to the store's stock, along with its corresponding PrestaShop stock movement. These are two independent switches, in case you want the module to perform only one of the two functions.
An order is not completed twice.
A double click, or two employees at the same time, cannot complete the same order: the second time the module warns that someone has just changed it.
What has been completed cannot be deleted.
A completed order is a record of what was consumed and produced, and it cannot be deleted. A pending order also cannot be deleted; it must first be canceled. And a bill of materials with open orders cannot be deleted.
The cost of each order is fixed
When you create it, the costs for that day are saved. If the fabric price goes up later, the history of what has already been produced remains unchanged.
/ If materials are missing, you decide.
When an order is completed, the module rechecks the stock and, if something is missing, lists exactly what's lacking and how much. What happens next is chosen in the production settings.
Block completion (normal)
The order remains in progress and you see the missing materials. This is the default behavior.
Complete by stopping at zero
With the block deactivated, the order is completed and the stock of the missing materials is reset to zero. This is recorded in the history.
Allow negative stock
The order is completed anyway and those materials go into negative stock, also noted in the history.
/ Meters, kilos and sizes
A bag doesn't use a whole piece of fabric: it uses 0.35 m. The quantities on each line accept decimals (up to six), but PrestaShop manages stock in whole units. The module deducts the corresponding whole units and drag the fraction to the next command4 × 0.35 m = 1.4 m. Take out 1 unit now and leave 0.4 noted for later. That way nothing is lost and nothing is counted twice.
Each material with its unit
Pieces, meters, kilos, liters or whatever you need: each line has its own unit label.
Products with combinations
The stock of a product with combinations is based on each individual combination, so both the finished product and each material are chosen by combination: the t-shirt in size M, the red button. If you choose one with combinations without specifying which one, the module will ask you for the exact combination.
/ Panel, statistics and data entering and leaving
Panel
Active bills of materials, orders, manufactured and in-process units, total cost, completion rate and shortage alerts, at a glance.
Statistics
Six charts: orders by status, cost structure (materials vs. labor), production for the last 12 months, cost trend, most manufactured products, and most consumed materials. Also included is the average manufacturing lead time in hours.
Import and export in CSV
Export bills of materials and purchase orders, and import bills of materials: one row per material, with products identified by their reference number, for batch editing in Excel or transfer to another store. The file is separated by semicolons and encoded in UTF-8, with decimals separated by commas, ready to open in Excel; importing accepts either commas or periods. Before writing, you can run a simulation that validates the data and alerts you to any errors.
JSON backup
Cost breakdowns, orders, histories and module settings in a single file, to restore them in the same store.
Demonstration data
A complete scenario to see the module in action: 4 raw materials in stock, 2 finished products, 2 bills of materials, and 6 orders covering all stages. The sample products are referenced RKR-DEMO- and are deleted along with their data when removed.
/ Who can do what, and in how many stores
Permissions by employee profile
A profile with view-only permissions can see cost breakdowns, orders, and statistics, but cannot create or change anything. Deletion permissions are also required.
Multistore
Each store manages its own cost breakdowns and orders, and its settings (price, threshold, theme) may differ. If you prefer a single workshop for multiple stores, you can activate "Share data within the store group," and all stores in the group will work on the same system.
Spanish and English
The back office and product page text are available in Spanish and English. You can change any phrase or add another language using PrestaShop's translations.
/ Manufactureable now, on the product sheet (optional)
If you work with a small stock of finished product or manufacture to order, you can display a block with the number of items on the product page. units that we can manufacture right now, and a low stock warning when materials fall below the threshold. It follows the customer's chosen combination, appears only on products with an active bill of materials, and doesn't load on the rest of the store's pages.
It's coming off by default, Just like a bill of materials, a cost breakdown is internal information and you only display it if you want to. You can add your own title, choose what is shown (units, materials with availability bars, warnings), and select from 23 color themes and six animation effects for the ad, or tweak it with your own CSS.
/ What you should know
It's light manufacturing, not an ERP. It does not generate purchase orders to suppliers, it does not automatically deploy multi-level bills of materials (a semi-finished product is manufactured with its own order and then used as material for another bill of materials) and it does not plan the capacity of your machines or work with warehouses: it uses the standard available stock of PrestaShop.
To ensure accurate costing, enter the cost price of your raw materials in the catalog. Stock levels only change when you complete an order. You can find this in the back office menu. Rekire MODULES → Manufacturing, It features three screens: Dashboard, Bills of Materials, and Production Orders; settings are configured within the module's settings, which include a guide. It does not require cron or connect to external services.
