Getting started
Sign in, understand roles and find your way around the workspace.
Start with your workspace
Vyrab connects product definitions and customer orders with planning, shop-floor work, quality, warehouse operations and cost calculation.
- Open erp.vyrab.com.
- Sign in with the login and password supplied by your administrator. Public website access does not create an ERP account.
- Check which sections are available to your role. If a section is missing, ask your administrator to check your access.
- Use Settings to choose your language, theme and navigation position.
For a first production workflow, define a product and its routing in Products & orders, create a production order, check materials in Warehouse & supply, then plan and publish assignments in Production & planning. Record completed work and quality decisions in Work & quality.
Roles and permissions (RBAC)
Permissions are granted not to an individual operator but to a role; an operator can be assigned several roles at once. The boundary is drawn at the level of a menu item (not a group, not an individual action within a page), with a few exceptions for operations that require narrower authority than simply "can see the section."
| Role | Typical task | Main permissions |
|---|---|---|
| Administrator | System setup, users | All permissions (*) |
| Area foreman | Runs production for their entire area | Parts, orders, schedule, assignments, work intake, QC, defects, contracts, order fulfillment, supply availability — view and manage |
| Dispatcher | Planning and flow control for orders | Orders, schedule, assignments, scheduler (view + manage), order fulfillment, supply availability |
| QC inspector | Quality acceptance, recording defects | Work intake (view), QC marks, defects |
| Shop floor operator | Submits completed work | Work intake (view) |
| Storekeeper | Runs warehouse operations | MRP, supply availability, warehouse, limit cards, arrivals |
| Procurement officer | Purchasing and arrivals | Supply availability, arrivals, orders (view) |
| Process engineer | Maintains parts and routings | Parts (view) |
| Cost accountant | Cost accounting and time tracking | Cost, timesheet (including for all employees) |
Several operations are protected by a separate permission inside a section, distinct from the permission to view the section itself:
- QC mark (
qc.write) — separate from viewing the "Work intake" tab / "Defects" page: an ordinary shop floor operator can see and accept work, but only someone with this permission can record the QC result. - Reversing a work record (
work-records.correct) — retroactively cancels an erroneous entry, separate from an ordinary submission — held by the Area foreman and Administrator. - Publishing a scheduler run (
scheduler.publish) — creates real shift work assignments on the shop floor, separate from viewing the schedule (scheduler.view). - Changing flow settings (
scheduler.manage) — buffers, WIP limits, locks, POLCA pairs — separate from simply viewing Dispatch/Flow management.
Outside these four cases the application has no "view/act" split within a single page — if a role can see a section, it can perform every action in it.
Interface: windows, navigation, object inspector
The workspace is built as a virtual desktop (based on dockview): every
menu section opens as a separate panel/tab, several panels can be placed
side by side, dragged, closed, and reopened independently of each other. The
list of open windows is in the windows menu in the top-right corner
(OpenWindowsMenu).
The menu on the left (or top — toggled in Settings) is grouped into 6 groups, each the subject of a separate phase of this documentation:
- Overview — dashboard (opens by default on sign-in).
- Analytics — consolidated production analytics.
- Production — flow management, dispatch, parts, orders, production schedule, assignments, detailed schedule, contracts, order fulfillment, work intake, defects.
- Accounting — cost, price list, timesheet.
- Warehouse — MRP, supply availability, warehouse, limit cards, arrivals.
- Reference data — all administrative reference data and the activity log.
A menu item is visible only if the operator has permission for it; if, after filtering by permissions, no items remain in a group, the whole group is hidden (rather than opened empty).
Separately from section windows there is an object inspector — clicking an entity (a part, an order, a routing step, etc.) in any section can open that specific object's card/table/link graph/relation graph in a separate panel, without leaving the current screen. This is a second, independent family of panels (unlike section panels — one panel per open object, rather than one per section).
Shop floor terminal (Kiosk)
A separate full-screen mode with no menu or windows — for installation on a
shop-floor PC/terminal, where the worker only accepts and submits
assignments (WorklistPage/KioskPage, more detail in Work & quality).
Settings
Personal interface settings (Reference data → Settings, available to any signed-in user): interface language (Russian/English), theme (dark/light), navigation placement (left/top). Stored in the operator's browser, and do not affect other users.
Glossary of terms
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Part | An entry in the reference data: an assembly, a part, a material, or a purchased item (the kind field) |
| BOM | Bill of materials — the nesting tree of parts within one another (bom_item, with a quantity and unit on each relation) |
| Operation | A routing step for a part: the place where it is performed, the standard time (Tman, hours), the rate, the sequence order |
| Production order | An order to manufacture a batch of a product; lifecycle: planning → in production → done/canceled |
| Schedule item (WorkOrder) | A specific part/assembly within a production order, with its own quantity and start date |
| Order routing step (OrderOperationStep) | A specific assignment to perform one operation within a schedule item; statuses: pending → in progress → done |
| Work record (WorkRecord) | An immutable log entry recording that a worker submitted a given quantity for a given step in a given shift |
| Tman | The standard labor intensity of an operation, in hours per unit/batch — the basis for computing time and labor cost |
| K1/K2/K3 | Correction coefficients for material consumption norms and price (inherited from the original VOGBIT formulas) |
| MRP | Material requirements planning — how much of what needs to be purchased/produced for the current order portfolio |
| POLCA / buffer / WIP limit | Pull-based flow planning tools (Flow management/Dispatch) — limit the amount of work in progress between places |
| Limit-and-issue card | A document for repeated issue of material from the warehouse to the shop floor within an established limit |
| QC | Quality control department — quality acceptance of completed work, recording of defects |
