Once production is posted and entries are tagged, the same few reports answer most questions.
Production
| Question | Where |
|---|---|
| What did this run use and make? | Production Entries list ▸ View, a side panel with components used and the finished item |
| What moved in stock and the ledger? | Reports ▸ Accounting ▸ Posting Trail, type the entry's Doc No (MFG-00001) |
| What did it really cost? | Stock Ledger / Movement report (the register Total reads about twice the cost) |
| Do I have the components? | Stock Balance & Valuation report for the warehouse |
Check a runEntry MFG-00007 produced 30 cakes. Posting Trail shows six stock rows: three components out totalling 81.00 and the cakes in at 81.00, and the matching ledger rows through WIP Clearing 1160 that net to zero. The register Total reads 162.00 because it adds both sides.
By cost, job or project center
- General Ledger has Cost Center, Job Center and Project Center filters and columns. With a center chosen, the report shows just the tagged rows, so debits and credits need not match, and the opening line and running balance come from those entries only.
- Posting Trail shows the center on each ledger row.
- Other statements offer a Cost center filter under More filters; Job center and Project center work the same way.
Reading a projectFilter General Ledger to PC-014. The sales invoice shows AED 12,000 and the tile purchase AED 8,000, so on these entries the project is AED 4,000 ahead before any untagged costs such as site wages. Untagged costs are not in the report, so add them in your reading.
What is not there
- There is no project budget, schedule or progress screen in Zeyto ERP. The centers are tags for analysis.
- A parent center does not add up its children; filter each center separately.
- A tag added later does not rewrite older entries.
Watch outDo not treat a filtered General Ledger total as a project profit statement unless every cost and revenue entry of the project was tagged. Review untagged entries before relying on it.
TipProduction and projects connect through stock: components bought for a project can be tagged on the purchase, while the production run itself posts through WIP Clearing and is read in the Posting Trail.
Try it in the demo
- Open Reports ▸ Accounting ▸ General Ledger in the demo and look at the Cost Center, Job Center and Project Center filters.
- Open Posting Trail and look at the center columns.
- Open a production entry in the register and compare its Total with the cost in the Stock Ledger / Movement report.

Key takeaways
- Use Posting Trail for the stock and ledger rows of a run.
- Filter General Ledger to one center for its tagged cost and revenue.
- Tags do not enforce budgets or schedules.
- Check that every project entry was tagged before using a total.
