Production Orders are used to issue specific quantity of inputs and/or output quantities of inventory items within a certain time frame. These allow multiple production items to be associated to Production Orders. This page will display input, output and yield percentages and allow users to view/record actuals against the plan. Inventory is not affected when the plan is entered, only when actuals are recorded.

Record Production

Saves the Production order and opens the Record Production popup, allowing users to specify the Production Transaction Class and Production Date. The 'Production Transaction Class' field defaults from the 'Related Production Transaction Class' on the Production Order Transaction Class record view. Users have the ability to change this to any 'Active' Production Transaction Class. The 'Production Date' defaults to the current date. Users can click the Process button create a Production transaction from the Production Order transaction. Users will be prompted with the TransactionID that was generated and can navigate directly to the Production record view or remain on the Production Order record view.

The newly created Production transaction will include all lines from the Production Order's Input and Output tabs. The quantities (Units and Weight) on the Production transaction will be defaulted as "0.00".
