Production quantity entries let your field team log how much work was completed on a given day — concrete poured, conduit installed, paving laid — directly against cost codes and materials. This gives your office team real-time visibility into production progress without waiting for end-of-week reports.
Quick Answer
To log a production quantity entry in Raken:
Open your project and navigate to Production > Materials.
Click or tap + Entry.
Select the material, enter the quantity, select a cost code if applicable, and save.
How to Log Production Quantities on the Web
Step 1: Navigate to Production
Log into the Raken web app. Click Projects in the left side navigation and select your project. In the project left side menu, click Production, then click Materials.
Step 2: Add a Quantity Entry
Click + Entry. Fill in the entry details:
Date — the date the work was performed
Material — select from your company's materials library
Quantity — how much was completed (number only — the unit of measurement is tied to the material)
Cost code — assign to the appropriate cost code for reporting
Notes — optional description of the work performed
Step 3: Save
Click Save. The entry appears in the production log and feeds into the Production Insights dashboard and production reports.
How to Log Production Quantities on Mobile

Tracking Progress Against Budgets
If your project has production budgets configured, quantity entries are tracked against the budget for each cost code and material combination. Navigate to Production > Insights within your project to see budget vs. actual comparisons and progress charts.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
I don't see the material I need — what do I do?
Materials must be added at the company level by an Account Administrator before they're available for field entries. Go to Company > Materials to add the material, or contact your Account Admin.
Can I enter quantities for past dates?
Yes. The date field on each entry is editable — select any date to backfill production data for days that were missed.
Can I edit or delete a quantity entry after saving it?
Yes. Open the entry from the production log, make your changes, and save. Entries can also be deleted from the same view.
Where do I find production reports?
Production reports are available from the project Reports dropdown: Production quantities, Production summary, and Production worksheet.
