Capability Levels
Choose how much of Manufacturing you use.
Early access. Manufacturing can be installed from the App Store, but it is still being proven in real use, so this screen may change.
Overview
Capability levels (Essential, Advanced, Enterprise) switch groups of features on, so a simple workshop does not see enterprise screens. Essential covers items, BOMs, routings, work centres, production orders, materials, receipts, scrap and basic costing. Changing level never moves or deletes data. The level descriptions on the screen name the full intended scope of each level, including planning, quality and scheduling features that have no screens yet; this page lists only what is built.
When to use capability levels
- You want to grow from a simple set-up to a fuller one.

What you see on the screen
- The screen says: “Start simple and switch on more when your factory is ready. Everything you have already entered stays exactly as it is — no data is moved or deleted when you change level.”
- The screen says: “Items, BOMs, routings, work centres, production orders, materials, receipts, scrap and basic costing — a small factory in an afternoon.”
- Actions on the screen: You are on Essential, Move up to Advanced, Move up to Enterprise.
